Russian scientists to look for Arctic oil and gas

The largest expedition since the Soviet times is going to look for oil and gas in the Arctic region, Arktika-Info has reported, adding that areas of the Kara Sea, Laptev Sea and New Siberian Islands will be explored. The Yamal ice-breaker will carry the scientists who are going to study the Arctic shelf. This will be a continuation of last year’s exploration of the south-western part of the Kara Sea where ice and hydro-meteorological conditions were studied.
