Russian Arctic
Around half of the Arctic is Russian territory: the western part of the Russian Arctic is characterised by world-class hydrocarbon provinces (West Siberia, Timan-Pechora), and adjacent offshore areas host giant gas fields (Kara Sea); in contrast, the eastern part of the Russian Arctic is virtually unexplored, yet contains some of the most extensive continental shelves of any ocean margin.
