A branch of the Arctic Ocean, the Barents Sea ecoregion includes the heavily glaciated arctic archipelagos of Svalbard and Franz Josef Land to the north, and Novaya Zemlya to the east. It extends to mainland Norway and Russia, and abuts the coastal White Sea along northwestern Russia. Bordered to the west by the Greenland Sea and to the southwest by the Norwegian Sea, the Barents Sea receives flow from warm currents through the latter; this North Atlantic Drift current helps keep ports along its southern shores ice-free in winter. The Barents is considered the warmest of the circumpolar seas—although its northern reaches are ice-bound most of the year, and it receives cold polar currents from several directions. |
