How to read this map

The White Sea covers about 90,800 km² (35,100 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 330 m (1,083 ft). Countries with a coast on the White Sea: Russia.

The blue outline marks the White Sea as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Arkhangelsk, Murmansk, Apatity, Severomorsk and Joensuu.

Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.

The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the White Sea come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the White Sea is, not a surveyed boundary.
