Definition | A basin in the North Atlantic Ocean defined to the east by Greenland, the west and south by the Mohn Ridge, and to the north by Fram Strait. It has two abyssal plains separated by the Greenland Fracture Zone (at about 0degW, 76degN), with the Boreas plain to the north being smaller and shallower (around 3200 m) than the Greenland plain to the south (around 3600 m). The Greenland Sea is completely contained within the confines of the Greenland Basin. |
