Everything about The Denmark Strait totally explained
The
Denmark Strait ( the latter meaning
Greenland Strait) is a
strait between Greenland (northwest) and
Iceland (southeast). The
Norwegian island of
Jan Mayen is located northeast of the strait.
It connects the
Arctic Ocean to the
Atlantic Ocean and is 300 miles (480 km) long and 180 miles (290 km) wide at its narrowest. The cold
East Greenland Current passes through the strait and carries icebergs south into the north Atlantic Ocean. It hosts important fishing grounds.
During
World War II, the
Battle of the Denmark Strait took place on
May 24,
1941. The German battleship
Bismarck sank the British battlecruiser
HMS Hood, which exploded with great loss of life, and seriously damaged the battleship
Prince of Wales.
Bismarck succeeded in entering the Atlantic through the Strait, but damage sustained in the battle prevented it from carrying out its intended destruction of British convoys.
