deepest point. Its only deep-sea connection to other oceans lies in Fram Strait between Greenland and Svalbard. The Arctic Ocean is also characterised by record low temperatures: directly below the sea ice [...] newcomers from the south found their way to the Arctic? In fact, Fram Strait between Greenland and Svalbard has become a preferred travel route for new residents of the Arctic. Though warm water from
