Northern Seas

The Northern Seas refer to a group of oceanic regions primarily located in the Arctic and sub-Arctic areas, including parts of the Arctic Ocean, the Barents Sea, the Bering Sea, and the Greenland Sea. These waters are characterized by cold temperatures, ice coverage, and unique ecosystems. They are significant for global climate patterns, marine biodiversity, and emerging economic interests, such as shipping routes and oil exploration, due to melting ice from climate change. The Northern Seas also hold cultural and historical importance for indigenous peoples and nations that border these waters.
