Description

The Strait of Gibraltar: a landscape between seas and lands Located at the southern tip of the Iberian peninsula, Gibraltar is a British overseas territory. The strait witnesses a lot of illegal migration from the African continent to Europe due to its location. The landscape is mostly covered by The Rock of Gibraltar near which the strait flows known as The Strait of Gibraltar. Gibraltar is also known as the “key to the Mediterranean” The name of the strait comes from The Rock of Gibraltar which originates from the Arabic name ‘Jabal Tariq’ meaning Tariq’s mountain. In Arabic ‘Jabal’ means mountain and Tariq was a commander who crossed the strait from the Northern Africa coast along with his troops and hence The Rock of Gibraltar is named after him. The waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean could not be more different. The sea has a very high saline content, while the ocean presents a milder environment for different creatures to survive in. The exact point at which these 2 waterbodies meet is known as the “Europa Point” or “Punta de Europa”. Europa is the Southernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula and lies in Gibraltar. Another point at Punta de Tarifa is located further West and lies parallel to Europa Point. 4000 x 6000 Px 300 DPI By Samanta, 2023
