“It is very important to know the depth at each point of the passage right down to tens of centimeters, so that there are no mistakes. Our search is not limited to the Kola Bay, we study the entire Barents Sea, there also are expeditions to the East Siberian Sea,” said Yuri Kulikovsky, a fifth-generation hydrographer, in an interview with the Murman State Television and Radio Station.
