Frequently asked questions
How deep is the Kronotskiy Gulf?
On average about 290 m in the GEBCO grid (the middle value is 125 m). The deepest cell inside its outline is 2,872 m, at 53.80° N, 160.78° E.
How big is the Kronotskiy Gulf?
About 7,705 km² of water inside its Natural Earth outline, counted from the grid cells that are below sea level.
How much of the Kronotskiy Gulf would be land if sea level dropped?
With the sea 10 m lower, about 103 km² (1.3%) of its water would be land. At 6,000 m lower, 100% would be. This is a simple bathtub model that lowers the sea evenly everywhere.
