Norwegian Sea

The Norwegian Sea (Norwegian: Norskehavet) is part of the North Atlantic Ocean, northwest of Norway, located between the North Sea (i.e. north of Scotland) and the Greenland Sea.
It adjoins the North Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Barents Sea to the northeast. In the southwest, it is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a submarine ridge running between Iceland and the Faroe Islands. To the North, the Jan Mayen Ridge separates it from the Greenland Sea.
The Norwegian Sea and the Greenland Sea are sometimes collectively referred to as the Nordic Seas.
