#Adventure contest In the Middle Ages, the Barents Sea was known as the Sea of the Murmans (the word for “the Norwegians” that eventually gave name to the city of Murmansk). The Barents Sea is also called "The Devil's Dance Floor" and "Devil's Jaw" due to its unpredictability and difficulty level. It is officially part of the Arctic Ocean, but in its characteristics it’s gradually leaning towards the Atlantic Ocean as its waters are getting warmed up by the drifts of the Atlantic. In the ports of Murmansk (Russia) and Vardø (Norway) the sea remains ice-free year round.
