Lincoln Sea, Arctic sea between Canada and Greenland
Lincoln Sea is an Arctic sea between Canada and Greenland located within Northeast Greenland National Park. The body of water remains frozen throughout the year, creating a landscape of pack ice and icebergs.
The sea was named during a major Arctic expedition in the 1880s and subsequently attracted explorers from multiple countries. It became a focal point for polar research and scientific study of the far north.
The waters of Lincoln Sea contribute to indigenous communities' traditional practices of hunting and fishing throughout the Arctic region.
Access to the region requires specialized icebreaker vessels due to year-round ice coverage. Visitors should prepare for extreme cold and limited navigation windows.
Project Spinnaker's experiments between 1989 and 1994 revealed three distinct water layers based on temperature and salinity profiles in Lincoln Sea.
