North and Baltic Seas

[25-Jun-24] Northern Europe inlcudes two large seas separated by the Scandanavian peninsula: the North Sea to the west and the Baltic Sea to the east. A variety of ocean colors – from bright blues in the North Sea to dark greens in the Baltic Sea – and their patterns reflect differences in depths, circulation patterns, and phytoplankton types.
