New Post (161) : Off to the Sea of Okhotsk
Folks,
I started this blog on the 10th Oct. (5 months ago).
After logging 160 posts I am taking a break from writing for a while.
Only to pursue my interest in trekking on float ice in the sea of Okhotsk.
Tucked between Siberia and Russia’s frozen Kamchatka Peninsula, the Sea of Okhotsk is at the same latitude as the Gulf of Alaska, but unlike the Gulf, the sea freezes between October and March. Fresh water from rivers like the Amur dilutes the relatively shallow, salty sea and raises the temperature at which ice can form. During the winter, the Sea of Okhotsk is beset by frigid air from the Siberian landmass, and this creates large ice floes that cover much of the sea.
Catch my blog when I am back. If I (manage to) get back.
Cheers,
Charlie Brown
