Dover Strait

The Dover Strait is a narrow body of water that separates England from France, specifically between Dover in England and Calais in France. It is about 21 miles (34 kilometers) wide at its narrowest point and is the busiest shipping lane in the world, connecting the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. The Strait is significant for its historical and geographical importance, serving as a key passage for trade and travel. Additionally, it has been a strategic military route over the centuries and is known for its iconic white cliffs of Dover on the English side.
