The Greenland Sea is a body of water located in the Arctic Ocean, to the east of Greenland. It is also sometimes referred to as the Greenlandic Sea or the Irminger Sea. The sea is known for its rough and stormy conditions, and is home to a variety of marine life, including whales, seals, and fish. Other synonyms for the Greenland Sea include the North Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Nordic Sea. Despite its location in one of the coldest and most remote parts of the world, the Greenland Sea is a vital part of the global ocean system, and plays an important role in regulating Earth's climate.
