Theme: Peninsulas Where Two Seas Nearly Touch
These slender tongues of land pinch two very different bodies of water almost together. The Isthmus of Panama separates the Pacific from the Caribbean by barely 80 kilometers, while the Kola Peninsula divides the Barents Sea from the White Sea's icy inlet. The Gallipoli peninsula squeezes the Aegean against the Dardanelles, Jutland holds the North Sea apart from the Baltic's Kattegat approach, and the Yucatán's tip narrows the Gulf of Mexico toward the Caribbean. Each has shaped trade routes, wars, and canals for centuries.
