The North Atlantic Deep Water is a water mass that begins where the North Atlantic drift ends in the northeast Atlantic (northeast of Iceland). It runs around the southern end of Greenland and then follows the coast of Canada down to the coast of the United States where it turns a bit east, out from the coast and then continues southeast, past the eastern tip of South America.
The North Atlantic Deep Water is a water mass in the Atlantic Ocean. It is largely formed in the [Labrador Sea]? where the North Atlantic drift ends in the northeast Atlantic (northeast of Iceland) by the sinking of dense overflow water from the Norwegian Sea. It runs around the southern end of Greenland and then follows the coast of Canada down to the coast of the United States where it turns a bit east, out from the coast and then continues southeast, past the eastern tip of South America.
