    Baltic Sea

    Sea in Northern Europe

    The Baltic Sea is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean that is enclosed by Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Sweden, and the North and Central European Plain. The sea stretches from 53°N to 66°N latitude and from 10°E to 30°E longitude. It is a shelf sea and marginal sea of the Atlantic with limited water exchange between the two, making it an inland sea. The Baltic Sea drains through the Danish straits into the Kattegat by way of the Øresund, Great Belt and Little Belt. It includes the Gulf of Bothnia, the Gulf of Finland, the Gulf of Riga and the Bay of Gdańsk. The "Baltic Proper" is bordered on its northern edge, at latitude 60°N, by Åland and the Gulf of Bothnia, on its northeastern edge by the Gulf of Finland, on its eastern edge by the Gulf of Riga, and in the west by the Swedish part of the southern Scandinavian Peninsula.

    The Littorina Sea was the last brackish water phase of the Baltic Sea. The latest brackish water phase of the Baltic Sea began when the Baltic was connected to the North Sea via the Danish straits, some 9,000 to 10,000 years ago. The actual brackish water phase began in the main basins of the Baltic Sea about 8,000 years ago.

    The history of the Baltic Sea from the 16th century to the middle of the 19th century must be considered from two perspectives: first, relations among the regional countries and peoples; and second, relations with the world outside the Baltic, whether foreign powers and regions or even other seas, for political, military, and trade matters. ...

    The reach of the Limnea Sea differs little from the modern Baltic Sea [1]. The migration of today's typical freshwater species into Estonian waters began about 2,500 years ago. Since the beginning of the Limnea Sea stage, the sea water has become 5-8‰ fresher and the Baltic Sea has been constantly receding from the Estonian mainland.

    The history of the Baltic Sea begins with the end of the ice age. Due to the slowly warming climate, the Scandinavian ice gradually melted. Then, about 14,000-12,000 years ago, a huge meltwater lake formed in the Baltic Sea basin. The ice continued to melt and, like a bathtub, the Baltic basin filled until it finally overflowed in a catastrophe ...

    The Baltic, as a great inland sea, has much in common with the Mediterranean. Each is of a size and complexity to ensure maximum interaction between the people living on its coasts. Each has only the narrowest outlet to the ocean, raising the enticing possibility of treating the sea as an inland lake within a single vast empire.
