Algae bloom near Norway, satellite image. This area is in the Barents Sea north of Norway. Algal blooms are formed by the rapid multiplying of phytoplankton, microscopic marine plants that drift on or near the surface of the sea, sustained by sunlight. Phytoplankton blooms are common in the Barents Sea in the summer, after the winter ice has receded.
