The Barents Basin is a major sedimentary basin located in the northern part of Europe, primarily beneath the Barents Sea. It is part of the larger Arctic region and is bordered by the Norwegian coast to the west, the Kola Peninsula to the southwest, and the Franz Josef Land archipelago to the north. The Barents Basin is notable for its geological and hydrocarbon potential.
