The Dvinabusen ( Russian Двинская губа Dwinskaja guba ; also Dwinabucht ) is a sea bay of the White Sea in northwestern Russia.
geography
The Dwinabusen is one of the four large bays of the White Sea , next to the Onegabusen , the Mesenbusen and the Kandalakscha Bay . In the west, the Dvinabusen is bounded by the Onega Peninsula and in the east by the White Sea Kuloi Plateau ( Беломорско-Кулойского плато ), which rises steeply on the coast . In the 93 kilometers long and 130 kilometers wide bosom stretches the delta of the Northern Dvina River , in which there are numerous partially inhabited islets. The two large port cities Arkhangelsk and Severodvinsk lie on the banks of the Dvinadeltas .
The average water depth of the Dwinabus is between 15 and 22 m. The greatest water depth, in the northwest of the bosom, is 120 m. The tidal range is around 1.4 m. In summer the water of the Dwinabusen heats up to 12 ° C, which makes the Breast the warmest area of the White Sea. In winter the breasts freeze over for several months.
At the administrative level, with the exception of the cities of Severodvinsk and Arkhangelsk, the Dvinabuse belongs to the Primorsk Raion of Arkhangelsk Oblast . The western section of the coast of the bosom, which, starting from the Dvina Delta, encompasses the coast of the Onega Peninsula to Mys Uchtnawolok ( Мыс Ухтнаволок ), is called Letni bereg ( Летний берег , in German summer coast ). The opposite eastern stretch of coast starting from the Dvina Delta along the coast of the White Sea Kuloi Plateau to Mys Woronow ( Мыс Воронов ) is called Simni bereg ( Зимний берег , in German winter coast ). The names of the coasts reflect the fishing areas of the pomors , which have been settling here since the 12th century , which alternated in summer and winter.
