Barents Sea - Barents Sea
One of the marginal seas of the Arctic Ocean. It is surrounded by the northern coast of the Scandinavian Peninsula, northwestern Russia, Novaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land, and Svalbard (Norwegian territory), and has a large inlet called the White Sea. It has an area of ​​about 1.37 million km2 . It was named after the 16th century Dutch explorer Willem Barents. It is shallow, with an average depth of about 230 m and a maximum depth of 600 m. During the Paleogene period, it was land, and a fairly powerful river flowed on the surface. During the Ice Age, it was covered by glaciers, and later sank. These past topographical patterns remain. The sediments consist of silt, sand, or a mixture of sand and silt. Due to the influence of the North Atlantic Current, the water temperature is high on the southwest side, and is 1 to 3 °C even in February. It is developing as a fishing area.
