There are quite a few theories about the origin of the name of the Black Sea, but among the most popular is the one that refers to the weather itself. In winter, the sea is covered with thick fog and strong storms, and this darkness gives the sea its characteristic name. The intense fogs that develop over the Black Sea absorb light, causing the water to take on a dark, "black" appearance to those navigating its surface.
