North sea

Cold, but stunning

North Sea

The North Sea (historically also known as the German Ocean) is a part of the Atlantic Ocean, located between Norway and Denmark in the east, Scotland and England in the west, and Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France in the south.

The North Sea is one of the busiest shipping areas in the world, not only because of vessels moving to and from its ports but also because of transit traffic with the Baltic. Merchant vessels must share space with fishing vessels and offshore oil and gas platforms.
