The Greenland Sea is a sea of about 1,210,000 km² (465,000 sq mi), bordered by Denmark, Norway and Greenland. This map shows the Greenland Sea highlighted in blue on shaded relief, with the surrounding coasts, rivers, borders and major cities.
How to read this map
The Greenland Sea covers about 1,210,000 km² (465,000 sq mi) and reaches a maximum depth of about 4,800 m (15,748 ft). Countries with a coast on the Greenland Sea: Denmark, Norway and Greenland.
The blue outline marks the Greenland Sea as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Oslo, Murmansk, Bergen, Trondheim, Oulu, Vyborg, Jyväskylä and Umeå. Labeled countries: Greenland, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Greenland Sea come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Greenland Sea is, not a surveyed boundary.
