The divers of the Russian Emergencies Ministry continue to examine and mine explosive objects on the seabed that were flooded as a result of hostilities or accidents.
As reported on Saturday, September 21, the press service of the rescue department, plans for September include a survey of the nuclear submarine K-27, submerged in The Kara Sea.
"For 32 years the ship has been lying at a 31-meter depth of the Stepovoye Bay. The submarine is the most radiation—hazardous object among other submerged objects in the Russian Arctic," the statement said.
It is reported that in a month specialists will have to perform work on the seabed at low air and water temperatures.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations added that divers are systematically engaged in work on the inspection and clearance of flooded objects. In five years, almost 126 thousand explosive objects have been lifted out of the water.
Earlier, EADaily reported that off the coast of Sweden, divers discovered a sunken sailboat of the XIX century, on which they found stocks of champagne, mineral water, wine and porcelain. Presumably, the cargo was intended for the Russian Emperor Nicholas I.
