Modern mapping of the Arctic Ocean floor

The peculiarities of the geographical position of the Arctic Ocean and its representation on some maps of the hemispheres and the world determine incomplete and distorted images of the ocean or even its absence. This does not allow us to get a complete and true idea of the geographical position, the size of the water area and the configuration of the ocean and its individual parts. The need to consider modern cartographic concepts of the ocean is also determined by the deliberate displacement of the original names of many geographical objects, which increases with the growth of territorial claims of a number of countries to the areas of the Arctic oil and gas shelf.
