Arctic Ocean TerritoriesThe territories of the Arctic Ocean lie on the continental shelves. Svalbard, formerly called Spitsbergen, and Jan Mayen are both located there. The area experiences arctic maritime weather, and has frequent storms and persistent fog. Svalbard is comprised of nine icy islands that are situated 400 miles north of Norway, which are rich with coal deposits. Jan Mayen is actually a volcanic island, located approximately 560 miles (901 km) northwest of Norway.
