We document an unprecedented winter open‐ocean polynya in the Breid Bay, on 4 August 2024, attaining a maximum area of 89,121 km2. Prior to opening, sea‐ice concentration declined from ∼96% in early July to below 25% by 30 July 2024, indicating substantial preconditioning of the winter ice cover. The polynya formation...

Dense water formed in the shallow Barents Sea feeds the deep branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and is therefore an important part of the global climate system. The properties of dense waters in the Barents Sea are sensitive to the temperature and salinity of Atlantic Water (AW) advected into the...
