The Sea of Okhotsk (Russian: Охо́тское мо́ре, tr. Okhotskoye More; IPA: [ɐˈxotskəɪ ˈmorʲɪ]; Japanese: オホーツク海 Ohōtsuku-kai) is a marginal sea of the western Pacific Ocean, lying between the Kamchatka Peninsula on the east, the Kuril Islands on the southeast, the island of Hokkaido to the south, the island of Sakhalin along the west, and a long stretch of eastern Siberian coast (including the Shantar Islands) along the west and north. The northeast corner is the Shelikhov Gulf. The sea is named after Okhotsk, the first Russian settlement in the Far East.
The Sea of Okhotsk covers an area of 1,583,000 square kilometres (611,000 sq mi), with a mean depth of 859 metres (2,818 ft) and a maximum depth of 3,372 metres (11,063 ft). 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.
In winter, navigation on the Sea of Okhotsk becomes difficult, or even impossible, due to the formation of large ice floes, because the large amount of freshwater from the Amur River lowers the salinity which results in raising the freezing point of the sea. The distribution and thickness of ice floes depends on many factors: the location, the time of year, water currents, and the sea temperatures.
Okhotsk (Russian: Охотск; IPA: [ɐˈxotsk]) is an urban locality (a work settlement) and the administrative center of Okhotsky District of Khabarovsk Krai, Russia, located at the mouth of the Okhota River on the Sea of Okhotsk. Population: 4,215 (2010 Census); 5,738 (2002 Census); 9,298 (1989 Census).
It was the main Russian base on the Pacific coast from about 1650 to 1860, but lost its importance after the Amur Acquisition in 1860. It is located at the east end of the Siberian River Routes on the Sea of Okhotsk where the Okhota and the Kukhtuy Rivers join to form a poor but usable harbor.
In 1639 the Russians first reached the Pacific 65 miles southeast at the mouth of the Ulya River. In 1647 Semyon Shelkovnikov built winter quarters at Okhotsk. In 1649 a fort was built (Kosoy Ostrozhok). In 1653 Okhotsk was burned by the local Lamuts. Although the Russian pioneers were skilled builders of river boats they lacked the knowledge and equipment to build seagoing vessels which meant that Okhotsk remained a coastal settlement and not a port. In 1682 Okhotsk had eight dwellings and five other buildings. When the Russians entered the Kamchatka Peninsula they had to travel overland from the north.

The Sea of Okhotsk is a marginal sea of the western Pacific Ocean, lying between the Kamchatka Peninsula on the east, the Kuril Islands on the southeast, the island of Hokkaidō to the south, the island of Sakhalin along the west, and a long stretch of eastern Siberian coast along the west and north. The northeast corner is the Shelikhov Gulf. The sea is named after Okhotsk, the first Russian settlement in the Far East. This video is targeted to blind users.

A beautiful and amazing trip to the Okhotsk ice sea, with JR Norokko Train and the 'Aurora' Icebreaker ship for signtseeing.
http://therovingroninreport.blogspot.com/2011/03/ryuhyo-japanese-drift-ice-in-hokkaido.html Ryuhyo is drift ice that appears along the northern coast of Hokkaido (in northern Japan) in the Sea of Okhotsk from about late January to early April. Visitors can take hour-long cruises on ice-breaking ships from northern coastal towns like Abashiri. Drift ice is important to the region's ecosystem because it helps plankton grow which are the base of the food chain for the region. Unfortunately in recent years Global Warming has reduced the amount of drift ice. This footage is from about 2 years ago that I just now got around to editing. I was in Hokkaido for the Yuki Matsuri/Snow Festival and decided to go to Abashiri to see the drift ice. This was actually my second time having gone before a fe...
one of the spur moments planned by tour guide as not often we will see it at this time of the year. And it's the most ice seen ever!
The main attraction during winter in the Okhotsk area, an icebreaker ship, has started operations for this year. Enjoy the overwhelming power of this icebreaker that breaks apart huge blocks of drift ice covering the sea as it moves forward! (The service is offered daily from January 20 to March 31.) https://www.ms-aurora.com/abashiri/en/
Visitors can see and touch seals at Okhotsk Tokkari Center. You may be surprised to learn about their biology. At feeding time, they come out of the pool and you might even have a chance to see them eating fish up close. ●Facebook 【Philippines / Malaysia】 Good day Hokkaido https://www.facebook.com/visithokkaido.en ●Facebook 【台灣】 Good day 北海道 https://www.facebook.com/visithokkaido.tw/ ●Facebook 【ประเทศไทย】 กู๊ดเดย์ฮอกไกโด https://www.facebook.com/visithokkaido.th/ ●Facebook 【Indonesia】 Badan Promosi Pariwisata Hokkaido https://www.facebook.com/visithokkaidoid/
With a name deriving from the Ainu (native Hokkaido civilization) word for seal, the Okhotsk Tokkari Center is a facility where seals (tokkari) from the Okhotsk Sea are raised and cared for.
http://www.euronews.com/ The volcanoes and geysers of Russia's Far East are the ultimate attraction for extreme sports aficionados. In this issue of 'Russian Life' we discover the land of fire and ice - the Kamchatka peninsula. The immense peninsula between the Okhotsk Sea and the Pacific Ocean is one of the world's last wild frontiers. Home to a Russian military base the area was strictly off-limits to visitors till the 1990s. Now it is a top spot for adrenaline junkies the world over as Valentin Gavrilov, a Mountain guide explains: "Our personalities are very wild and many people come here looking for exactly that - the wild, pristine nature of the mountains".
This is a vacation package for those people who enjoy nature and want to do something completely different. These thrilling activities are very popular among tourists who visit Hokkaido. Ice Breaking Cruises are available from late January to March. Please make sure to make a reservation before you go. Hokkaido is a popular destination for travelers in winter. In addition to snow and ice festivals held all over Hokkaido, "ryuhyo" (drift ice) in the Sea of Okhotsk attracts many travelers. The Okhotsk Sea in Hokkaido freezes by the cold wind from Siberia from late January through to early April. Winds break and move the layers of ice, and the ice layers get thicker. Take an Ice Breaking Cruise through the drift ice from the port of Abashiri. Here resting on the floating bergs of pack ice...

Participants of the 'Pole of Cold Connects the Oceans' project organised by the Russian Geographical Society arrived in Russkoye Ustye on August 5, as shown by footage released on Thursday. Their epic river expedition empirically proved the existence of an internal waterway between the Pacific and Arctic Oceans. The expedition, headed by Nikolai Nakhodkin, started from Okhotsk in the Khabarovsk Territory in July. It comprised 16 members who rafted on inflatable boats along waterways that run between the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic. In total, the scientists and crew members covered about 2,800 kilometres (1,739 miles), finishing the route in the little village of Ustye, near the Arctic coast. Nakhodkin said “we have reached the Arctic Ocean coast. We were first to discover a river way fro...
Travel to Japan's Northern Hokkaido region's Abashiri city and learn what happens during the harsh winters. Visit the Drift Ice museum (Okhotsk Ryuhyo Museum) where a damp towel will freeze instantly, roam the Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples, and finally, see what lurks under the winter sea. Beauty can be so fatal. Background music: Piano_tic Romance by Mike Vekris provided by http://www.freesoundtrackmusic.com. Windswept by Kevin MacLeod at http://incompetech.com.
The Okhotsk Sea "melting ice" story is a poster bear for the Climate Change Fraud, yet we get almost no coverage of the sailors and ships trapped in the actual ice emergency.
