Arctic Current Plan Would Ice Up Japan Coast
Soviet scientists and Russian sources discuss a proposed dam across the Gulf of Tarkiiy to drive Arctic water southward from the Okhotsk Sea. The aim: create a semi tropical climate as far as Nikolaevsk or Shanghai, render Vladivostok ice free year round, and freeze Japan’s Pacific coast, potentially crippling its population, industry, and strategy. Authorities note the idea is speculative and under examination by the Soviet government.
