Gulf of Ob Totally Explained

Everything about The Gulf Of Ob totally explained

The Gulf of Ob (also known as Ob Bay) (Obskaya guba) is an immense bay of the Arctic Ocean in Northern Russia, at the head of which is the mouth of the Ob River.
This Gulf flows into the Kara Sea, which is part of the Arctic Ocean. The Gulf is about 1,000 km (600 mi) long, and varies from about 50 km (30 mi) to 80 km (50 mi) in width, running generally north and south. It is relatively shallow, with an average depth from ten to twelve metres which restricts heavy sea transport. The Taz Estuary is an eastern side-branch formed by the Taz River. There are several islands near the mouth of the Ob, at the beginning of the estuary. These islands are flat and low-lying. They are protected wetlands under Ramsar. The rest of the Gulf of Ob, however, is free of islands until it meets the Kara Sea.

Economic importance

Very large gas and oil deposits have been discovered in this region. Oil and gas from the wells are sent South via pipeline and rail transport. The Yamburg gas field was in 2001 considered to be one of the largest in the world, and lies between the southern portion of the gulf and the Taz Estuary to the east.
