Extensive seismic investigations of the crust and upper mantle have been carried out in the region of the Barents and Kara seas during the past decade. One of the profiles (2-AR) measured by FGU NPP "Sevmorgeo" with the CDP and deep seismic sounding methods was successfully used for comparatively analyzing different technologies of constructing seismic sections and for demonstrating a high information content of the method of mathematical modeling and the constructions of wave sections from supercritical reflected waves. It is shown that the crusts of the North Barents and South Kara basins are different. In the first case, the velocity section changes insignificantly, whereas, in the second case, velocities in the crust increase under the basin and the M boundary rises. The crust of the Novaya Zemlya orogen has a thickness of 48 km, and its average thickness on the profile is 35 km.
