The World Ocean is referenced in multiple contexts, primarily as a geographical and environmental entity. It has experienced record-high surface temperatures in June 2026, reaching 20.98°C, surpassing the previous record from 2024, with implications linked to global warming. The ocean's rising levels are tied to the melting of Antarctic glaciers like Thwaites, posing risks to Russian regions such as Saint Petersburg and the Baltic coast. Additionally, it is a strategic focus for Russia’s military planning, with defense documents outlining naval security priorities in the region.
