"The Polar Sea" (also known as "The Sea of Ice" and "Das Eismeer") is a notable painting by the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich. Completed in 1824, this evocative landscape reflects Friedrich's fascination with the sublime and the power of nature. The painting depicts a dramatic and chaotic scene of shattered ice sheets in the Arctic Ocean, conveying the sense of awe and terror that the Romantic movement often sought to express.

Measuring 96.7 cm × 126.9 cm (38.1 in × 50.0 in), "The Polar Sea" is renowned for its stark beauty and its ability to capture the viewer's imagination. The work is characterized by its use of cold, desolate imagery to evoke the harshness and isolation of the polar environment. The fragmented icebergs, which dominate the composition, appear to be both majestic and menacing, suggesting the insignificance of humanity in the face of nature's grandeur and indifference.

Friedrich's inspiration for "The Polar Sea" is believed to have been the accounts of polar expeditions of the time, particularly the failed voyage of the explorer William Edward Parry, who attempted to reach the North Pole via the Northwest Passage. The painting can be interpreted as a meditation on human ambition and its limitations, as well as a commentary on the exploration and exploitation of nature.

"The Polar Sea" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its emotional impact. It is a prime example of Friedrich's skill in landscape painting and his ability to convey philosophical ideas through visual art. Today, the painting is housed in the Kunsthalle Hamburg in Germany and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and its reflection of Romantic ideals.
