Denmark Strait

From TheBestLinks.com

The Denmark Strait is a strait between Greenland and Iceland.

It connects the Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean and is 300 miles (480 km) long and 180 miles (290 km) wide at its narrowest. The cold East Greenland current passes through the strait and carries icebergs south into the north Atlantic Ocean.

In World War II, a battle took place in the Denmark Strait between German and British ships, thwarting a German squadron's attempt to break through into the Northern Atlantic Ocean.
