A strait is a narrow body of water that connects two larger bodies of water. Some of these naturally formed, typically navigable channels have achieved worldwide fame for their amazing geographical features, or for the events that have taken place on or near their locations. A few are recognized for their treacherous weather patterns, others for the spectacular bridges that span their width. All, though, can be appreciated for their awe and beauty.
