SOVIET ARCTIC RESEARCH
Studies were conducted by aircraft and drifting research stations in 1956 of the Northern Maritime Route with a view toward opening the Arctic regions of the USSR. The entire Arctic Ocean was covered by reconnaissance studies, and data on the distribution of Atlantic and Pacific Ocean water in the P...
