Seas Surrounding Europe: Arctic, Atlantic, Mediterranean

Europe's maritime boundaries are defined by three major water bodies:

1. Arctic Ocean – North (Barents, Kara, Norwegian Seas).
2. Atlantic Ocean – West (North Sea, Bay of Biscay, Celtic Sea).
3. Mediterranean Sea – South (Adriatic, Aegean, Ionian, Ligurian, etc.).

Note: The Arctic and Atlantic are oceans; the Mediterranean is a marginal sea. The Black Sea connects via the Turkish Straits. These waters have shaped European climate, trade, culture, and geopolitics for millennia.
