Norway, which is famous for its fabulous nature, fishing and fjords, is washed by three seas: from the northwest of Norway, from the north-east by the Barents Sea, and from the south by the north.

The Norwegian Sea

The Norwegian Sea is located on the outskirts of the Arctic Ocean, between the Scandinavian Peninsula, Iceland and the island of Jan Mayen. Great importance in his life is played by the warm Norwegian current, the continuation of the Gulf Stream, thanks to which it does not freeze even in winter. At the Norwegian coasts, the depth of the sea is small, the shoals are characteristic, where fishermen are happy to catch cod and herring.

Important ports - Trondheim, Tromsø and Narvik.

The Barents Sea

Until 1853, bearing the name Murmansk, is also located on the outskirts of the Arctic Ocean and washes the shores of Russia and Norway. The Barents Sea is of great importance for transport and for fishing. Large ports - Murmansk and Vardyo (Norway).

North Sea

The northern sea is shallow, located between the British Isles and the Jutland and Scandinavian peninsulas, considered part of the Atlantic Ocean. Its eastern border partly passes along the south-west coast of Norway. It is here that there are many famous picturesque fjords of the country - narrow, long, deeply digging into the land, insanely beautiful.
