North Sea Map

Here is a North Sea map for reference and printing out.


The North Sea is part of the Atlantic Ocean, situated between Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Great Britain. It is connected to the ocean via the English Channel and the Norwegian Sea.

It is a large sea that stretches more than 970 km long (that`s 600 miles for you Americans), and 580 km wide (around 360 miles). Its total surface area is about 750,000 square km (290,000 square miles). Most of the sea has a shallow depth of only 90 meters - around 300 feet.

There are numerous islands and archipelagos in the North Sea, like the Shetland islands, Orkney, and the Frisian Islands.

Aegean Sea Map

The Agean Sea is a subdivision of the Mediterranean Sea, specifically an embayment that extends northward between Greece and Turkey. The Aegean Sea connects to the Sea of Marmara by way of the Dardanelles and the Black Sea by way of the Bosporus Strait. The Aegean Islands are located within the Aegean Sea, including the major islands on its southern periphery, including Rhodes and Crete.

The area of the Aegean Sea covers 214,000 square km - or 83,000 square miles. It is approximately 610 km long from north to south (380 miles), and about 300 km (or 190 miles) from east to west.

Baltic Sea Map

The Baltic Sea is situated in Northern Europe, bordering the Scandinavian Peninsula, the European mainland, and the islands of Denmark. Around 85 million people live within the vicinity of the Baltic Sea, specifically in its drainage basic. And 15 million people live within 10 km of its coast.

Because of its location in a cold climate, much of the Baltic Sea freezes. On average, each year 45% of the sea`s surface area will be covered by ice. The ice can be as thick as 70 cm (or 28 inches). This makes marine travel very reliant on the use of icebreaker ships. This icy habitat is home to the grey seal and the Baltic ringed seal, which feed underneath the ice and breed on top of the ice. I would love to see these animals in their natural habitat, out there on the ice!

Black Sea Map

The Black Sea is a body of water surrounding by land in Europe, Anatolia, and the Caucasus regions. Even though it is an inland sea, it does have a connection to the Mediterranean Sea and Aegean Sea through some straits. Another strait connects it to the Sea of Azov. That strait is called the Strait of Kerch. The countries that border the sea are Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine. There is also the breakaway state of Abkhazia, which considers itself independent but most of the world considers part of Georgia.

Because of the Black Sea`s important location, right between a number of strategically, economically, and politically important areas, it was an important crossroads in ancient times. Archaeological evidence shows very early settlement and trade in the area. For example, the oldest processed gold in the world was found in the area.

The surface area of the Black Sea is 436,000 square km, or 168,500 square miles.

Mediterranean Sea Map

The Mediterranean Sea is a a sea lying between North Africa to the south, and Europe to the north. Its eastern shores also border Western Asia (also known as the Middle East). It is often technically considered to be part of the Atlantic Ocean, but most people think of it in practical terms as a separate entity.

The Mediterranean has a surface area of approximately 2,500,000 square km - ot 970,000 square miles.

The climate of the region is typically hot dry summers, and mild rainy winters, without much of a distinct autumn or spring.

There are 21 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, including Turkey, Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Malta, Italy, Monaco, France, Spain, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. The Gaza Strip also borders the sea but is not fully sovereign. Some territories also border it, specifically Gibraltar (UK), Ceuta and Melilla (Spain), and Akrotiri and Dhekelia (UK).

Map of Caribbean

To get a useful map of Caribbean Sea, please look down below.

The Caribbean is a region and group of islands which separate the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. This region is positioned between the southeastern portion of the United States, not far from the coast of Florida, and South America which lies to the south. To the West lies Mexico.

The region consists of over 7000 islands, cays, reefs, and islets. These islands are often referred to as the West Indies, which they were named because when Christopher Columbus arrived there in 1492 he though he had reached India.

The region can be subdivided into the Antilles, the Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. The area is considered to be part of North America when it comes to politics and international cooperation.

The population of the Caribbean is 39,169,962, and has a total land area of 2,754,000 square km.

Arabian Sea Map

If you need an Arabian Sea map, you can find one down below.

The Arabian Sea, known as Bahr al Arab in Arabic, is a northern section of the Indian Ocean that lies between the Arabian peninsula to its west, India to the east, Pakistan and Iran to the north, and part of the Horn of Africa to the southwest. There are seven countries that have coastal areas on the Arabian Sea, specifically: Somalia, Djibouti, Yemen, Oman, Iran, Pakistan, India, and Maldives.

The total area of water that the sea takes up (in surface area rather than in volume) is 3,862,000 km2 - or 1,491,130 sq miles. The sea actually has two braches, one being the Gulf of Aden; the other, the Gulf of Oman, which connects with the Persian Gulf. On the Indian coast, the gulfs of Cambay and Kutch also exist.

This Arabian Sea map shows the sea itself as well as the surrounding countries in the Middle East and South Asia.

Red Sea Map

The Red sea is a narrow inlet of the Indian Ocean, that extends up between Africa and Asia. At its northern edge it borders the Sina Peninsula of Egypt, Israel, and Jordan at the subdivision called the Gulf of Aqaba. Further south it borders mainland Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, Yemen, and Djibouti.

The entire Red Sea has a surface area of 438,000 square km, or 169,100 square miles. It is 2250 km long from north to south, and is around 355 km wide at its widest point. Though at some points it is extremely narrow, for example in the Gulf of Aqaba. I have travelled through the Gulf of Aqaba by ship, and at some points it is only a kilometer or two wide, and if you look in one direction you see Saudi Arabia and if you look the other you see Egypt.

The sea life in the Red Sea is spectacular, with Eilat in Israel and Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt being two popular dive resorts and winter escapes for tourists from Europe. Dahab and Nuweiba in the Sinai Peninsula are also great places to snorkel and dive.
