  1. labrador sea

    The Labrador Sea is a body of water located in the North Atlantic Ocean, between the eastern coast of Labrador in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and Greenland. It is considered part of the broader Atlantic Ocean but is often specifically identified due to its important role in global ocean circulation, in which it helps transport cold, dense water from the Arctic to lower latitudes. It is also known for its significant iceberg activity and influences on the region's climate and weather.

  1. Labrador Sea

    The Labrador Sea is an arm of the North Atlantic Ocean between the Labrador Peninsula and Greenland. The sea is flanked by continental shelves to the southwest, northwest, and northeast. It connects to the north with Baffin Bay through the Davis Strait. It has been described as a marginal sea of the Atlantic. The sea formed upon separation of the North American Plate and Greenland Plate that started about 60 million years ago and stopped about 40 million years ago. It contains one of the world's largest turbidity current channel systems, the Northwest Atlantic Mid-Ocean Channel, that runs for thousands of kilometers along the sea bottom toward the Atlantic Ocean. The Labrador Sea is a major source of the North Atlantic Deep Water, a cold water mass that flows at great depth along the western edge of the North Atlantic, spreading out to form the largest identifiable water mass in the World Ocean.
