| | Atlantic Ocean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Due to the Coriolis effect, water in the North Atlantic circulates in a clockwise direction, whereas water circulation in the South Atlantic is counter clockwise. | | | The surface is usually covered with sea ice in the Labrador Sea, Denmark Strait, and Baltic Sea from October to June. | | | The Bermuda Triangle is popularly believed to be the site of numerous aviation and shipping incidents, due to unexplained and supposedly mysterious causes, but coastguard records do not support this belief. |

| | The subject of the medieval Norse in North America, however, was largely played up in the press, where any discovery or claim of discovery roused keen public enthusiasm. | | | On the other were those who considered the sagas to be fantastic stories, or to reflect at most a brief Norse foray to the eastern coast of the continent. | | | Eric the Red's exploration of Greenland about AD 980 arose from such circumstances, and the immigrants who followed him to establish colonies on the southwestern coast of the island soon swelled the population to an estimated 3,000 people. |

| | The Atlantic democracies, he concluded, were for better or worse the leading powers of the world -- better when they were united, because then they led the world toward unity; worse when they were divided, because then they led the world toward chaos. | | | The history of the three generations of Atlantic alliance shows why it is not unreasonable to think that Russia could be a member in its fourth generation. | | | At that time, the Atlantic alliance was engaged in a world war against German power. |
