The Northeast Passage refers to a shipping route that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean along the northern coast of Russia, through the Arctic. This passage takes advantage of the sea routes that open during the summer months when ice melts, particularly in the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The route stretches from the Kara Sea, passing through the Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea, before reaching the Chukchi Sea and eventually entering the Bering Strait, leading to the Pacific Ocean.
