Barents Sea

The Barents Sea washes the northern shores of Norway and Russia, extending towards Svalbard and Novaya Zemlya. Its waters supported northern fisheries and a maritime trade in fish, furs and other products. From the sixteenth century English and Dutch ships sought routes through these seas towards Russia and Asia. In 1596 Willem Barentsz rounded the northern end of Novaya Zemlya, only for ice to trap his ship and force its crew to winter on the island.
