The Northern Sea Route is a name for the shipping route that crosses Russia's northern coast.[1][2][3] It roughly corresponds to The Northwest Passage that crosses across North America.
Due to Global warming both routes are seen as becoming more useful, in the future.[1][2][3]
During World War II, before Germany attacked the Soviet Union, Germany hired Soviet icebreakers to escort a merchant raider across the Northern Sea Route, so it could unexpectedly appear in the Pacific Ocean.
