… but I got the biggest impression from the sea (as always). Magadan was built on the sea shore (the Sea of Okhotsk). It has an influence on the local climate: wet air, not so cold, and weather can change very quickly. It much colder outside of Magadan: up to - 50 C.
The Sea of Okhotsk (Russian: tr. Okhotskoye More) is a marginal sea of the western Pacific Ocean. It’s the first Russian settlement in the Far East. The Sea of Okhotsk covers 611,000 sq.mi. (1,583,000 km2). It is connected to the Sea of Japan on either side of Sakhalin: on the west through the Sakhalin Gulf and the Gulf of Tartary; on the south, through the La Pérouse Strait. With the exception of Hokkaidō, one of the Japanese home islands, the sea is surrounded on all sides by territory administered by the Russian Federation.
In the Japanese language, the sea has no traditional Japanese name despite its close location to the Japanese territories and is called Ohōtsuku-kai (オホーツク海), which is a transcription of the Russian name. Additionally, Okhotsk Subprefecture, Hokkaidō which faces the sea, also known as Okhotsk region (オホーツク地方 Ohōtsuku-chihō?), is named after the sea.
During the summer sometimes becomes hot enough. Water in the sea is cold always, but possible to swim. Just few days...
There are two bays and two seaports (fishing and industrial). Local people say that a lot of submarines were drowned in these places, and lie on the bottom still.
The Sea of Okhotsk full of animals, including commercial fish and whales. 29 zones of possible oil and gas accumulation have been identified on the Sea of Okhotsk shelf, which runs along the coast. Total reserves are estimated at 3.5 billion tons of equivalent fuel, including 1.2 billion tons of oil and 1.5 billion cubic meters of gas. In winter, navigation on the Sea of Okhotsk becomes difficult, or even impossible.
