Northeast Passage

The Northeast Passage is a shipping route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, located along the Arctic coasts of Norway and Russia. It spans across the Barents Sea, Kara Sea, Laptev Sea, East Siberian Sea, and Chukchi Sea, and is often referred to as the Northern Sea Route. The passage was first attempted by Russian settlers and traders in the 11th century, but it wasn't until the 1878-79 expedition led by Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld that the first confirmed complete passage was made from west to east. The route has been a subject of interest for centuries, with various countries attempting to navigate it due to its potential economic and military importance.learn more on wikipedia
