Volcano At The Bottom Of The Barents Sea:

News: The Barents Sea, off the coast of Norway, contains a hitherto unknown volcano that is currently erupting with dirt, fluids, and gas from the planet’s interior.

A sea that borders the Arctic Ocean is called the Barents Sea.

It is situated between the territorial waters of Norway and Russia along their respective northern shores.

The Murmean Sea was known to Vikings and mediaeval Russians.

The sea is currently known by the name Willem Barentsz, a historical Dutch explorer.

Its borders are the Kola Peninsula in the south, the Norwegian Sea and the Greenland Sea in the west, the Svalbard archipelago in the northwest, the Franz Josef Land islands in the northeast, the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the east, and the Svalbard archipelago in the east.

The Novaya Zemlya archipelago and the Kara Strait divide it from the Kara Sea.

The Barents Sea is divided into two parts: the White Sea and the Pechora Sea.

With a depth of 230 metres on average, the sea is relatively shallow.

At the Bear Island Trench, the sea’s deepest point measures 600 metres.

A subarctic climate prevails across the Barents Sea.

The Barents Sea’s waters have a salinity of 34 parts per 1,000, which is high.

The Barents Sea has a higher biological productivity than other oceans at a similar latitude because of the North Atlantic drift.
