The potential risk for radioactive contamination of the Kara Sea is nonetheless present, due to the fact that in this region several deposits of solid and liquid nuclear waste are located on land as well as at the sea bottom.
This selection is based on an overall evaluation of the typical environmental conditions of the Kara Sea, concluding that these 4-years provides various meteorological and oceanographic situations which are typical of and representative for the region, both during the summer and winter seasons.
Three for the region characteristic meteorological scenarios were chosen: two cases for the summer conditions in August 1977 (one with the actual wind situation and one with a “no wind” case) and one case for the winter conditions (actual wind conditions in April 1979).

 abstract Boreas-94   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Abstract - Based on field investigations in northern Russia and interpretation of offshore seismic data, we have made a preliminary reconstruction of the maximum ice-sheet extent in the Barents and Kara Sea region during the Early/Middle Weichselian and the Late Weichselian.
Our investigations indicate that the Barents and Kara Sea ice sheets attained their maximum Weichselian positions in northern Russia prior to 50 000 yr BP, whereas the northeastern flank of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet advanced to a maximum position shortly after 17 000 calendar years ago.
According to our reconstruction, the extent of the ice sheets in the Barents and Kara Sea region during the Late Weichselian glacial maximum was less than half that of the maximum model which, up to now, has been widely used as a boundary condition for testing and refining Global Circulation Models (GCMs).
