The existing map (Image:White Sea map.png|Map of the White Sea) does a good job of illustrating the details of the bays, gulfs and significant communities of the White Sea, as well as of the peninsulas that jut into it. It would be helpful however to have a larger contextual map in the article that would help the encyclopedia reader to place the White Sea in the broader global (and maybe even national political) context.
