Fjords
In spite of the vastness of the Arctic coastlines of the Russian Federation there are relatively few fjords in Russia. Fjords are circumscribed to certain areas only; over thirty are in Novaya Zemlya —including lakes which are structurally fjords, with a few others in the Barents Sea coast of the Kola Peninsula , the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago, the Bering Sea coast of the Chukchi Peninsula [ 1] Kamchatka .[ 2]
