Transiting the Bosporus Strait in Istanbul.

The Bosporus Strait (İstanbul Boğazı), connecting the Marmara Sea to the Black Sea, splits the city of Istanbul (pop ~17million). It lies on the continental divide between Asia and Europe. The strait is about 20 miles long and ranges between a bit less than ½ mile wide to 2 miles wide at the northern end. It has an average depth of about 200 ft extending to 360 ft in places. There is a submarine river through the strait - current can flow in either direction but the primary flow is south to the Marmara.
It is speculated - with some evidence - that at the end of the last ice age, the strait was formed by a deluge of water flowing north, breaking through into the then fresh-water Black Sea. This could be the foundation for Noah's boat ride during the Great Flood of the Bible.
