On the Don River, which flows into the Sea of Azov, there is a river waterway connecting the Black Sea with the Caspian Sea (through the Volga-Don Shipping Canal and the Volga), with the Baltic Sea and the White Sea (through the Volga-Baltic Waterway and the White Sea-Baltic Canal) . The Danube River is connected to the North Sea through a system of canals.

Connected to the Aegean Sea. The Black Sea is washed by several states at once, in each of which it becomes a popular object of recreation. The coast is a quality resort area with a variety of ways to relax.

The geographical position of the Black Sea

The Black Sea washes the coast of Russia, and its waters belong to six more states. In each of the countries, a considerable number of tourists travel to the sea, wishing to sunbathe and swim in the warm sea water. It is best to relax here from the end of May to the beginning of October, when the water temperature exceeds 20 degrees, and sunny weather contributes to tanning. Geographical position good not only in terms of recreation, it is of great economic, transport and military importance.

The shape of the Black Sea resembles an oval.

The greatest length from coast to coast along the axis is 1,150 km, the greatest depth is 2,210 m. This makes the sea in demand for lovers of deep diving. The Crimean peninsula is located in the northern part of the Black Sea. The sea delimits the European and Asian parts of the continent. An interesting feature becomes the absence of islands.

The Black Sea had many names, it was called Russian, more than 20 names are known in total. There are several versions of the appearance of the modern name, each culture adheres to its own versions. According to one version, the north on the maps used to be indicated in black, and the Black Sea is located just in the north. Another gloomy version connects the name of the object with the history of its appearance - in its modern form, the Black Sea was formed 7,500 years ago, with the formation of a connection with mediterranean sea salty got into it sea water. This led to the extinction of many freshwater inhabitants.

Scientists attribute the name to the fact that objects raised from the bottom are black. The reason is hydrogen sulfide at a depth of 200 meters. Among the reasons are black silt thrown ashore and severe storms (even desperate sailors found themselves leaving ports in bad weather). Among the Turks, a version is widespread that the sea got its name because of the recalcitrance of the coast, when trying to conquer local cities, one had to face fierce resistance.

After the annexation of Crimea to Russia, there were changes in the maritime borders in the Black Sea. As a result of this, most likely, the South Stream gas pipeline will go along a different route. In addition, Russia is gaining new opportunities for exporting its products through the port in Kerch. It is interesting to get acquainted with the maps of the new frontiers. In the Black Sea, 12 nautical miles from the coast are the territorial waters of the state, 250 miles constitute a special economic zone. According to the 2003 agreement on the Sea of Azov, the territorial waters of the countries are limited to a 5-kilometer zone, the rest of the waters are in joint economic ownership. In addition to this, you can look at the project of a new bridge connecting the Taman Peninsula with the Crimea. The Greeks called the Strait of Kerch the Cimmerian Bosphorus, but the Greeks called the strait separating Asia Minor from the Balkan Peninsula the Thracian Bosphorus.
P.S. I think few people know that the legendary Colchis of the Argonauts was located not at all in swampy Georgia, as some philologists naively believe, but ... on the banks of the Thracian Bosphorus ("Bull Pass"). The ships of the ancient Achaeans were called beads ("bulls") or minotaurs ("bulls of Minos") - that's why this strait was so named, sometimes sea ships The Achaeans called the hippocampi ("sea horses"), so on their noses they had images of either the head of a bull or the head of a sea horse. The ancient Greeks called the Black Sea Pontus Euxinus (“hospitable Sea”, and the Phoenicians the North Sea (“Ashkenas”). But we will turn to Colchis after a careful study of the path of the Argonauts, which was the Golden Fleece - the purpose of their journey ...
