You can click on the map to see a close up.

Notice how a few more countries are not on the shoreline, but not too far away. Armenia, Greece, Moldova. Even Iraq is just on the other side of Turkey. So is Cyprus, and Syria.

Where does the water in the Black Sea come from? How deep is it? What temperature is it? What is the salinity?

We are going to explore all these questions and more, much more.

The answers will amaze you. Are you starting to see the fractal nature of the Black Sea?
