The English Channel.

   The English Channel is one of the world's moat extraordinary pieces of water. For centuries, the Channel has been Britain's defence against invaders. It has also been the way to the Continent, a highway crowded with ships.

   Sailors know it as perhaps the most dangerous sea channel in Europe. Half of all the world's ship collisions take place between the Western end of the Channel and the Baltic.

   Several armies have crossed the Channel, but none have crossed it for over last nine centuries, although some have tried more recently.

   Over the years, people have crossed it by baloon, canoe, rowing-boat, parachute, water-skis, and swimming. The British seen to enjoy using unconventional methods of conquering the Channel, using everything from a car to a bed.

   The Channel stretches 350 miles, from the Atlantic Ocean to the North Sea, separating England's south coast from France's north coast, it its widest point it Measures 120 miles, at its narrowest, only 21 miles. On a clear day, you can see the white cliffs of Dover from the French coast.

Ла–Манш.

   Пролив  Ла – Манш  один из самых необычных участков воды в мире. В течение веков Ла – Манш служил для Британии защитой от завоевателей. Это был также путь на континент, транспортный путь для огромного количества кораблей.

   Моряки  знают его как, возможно, самый  опасный пролив в Европе. Половина всех столкновений кораблей в мире происходят между Западной частью пролива и Балтикой.

   Несколько армий пересекли Канал, но никто  не пересек его за последние девять веков, хотя некоторые попытки предпринимались совсем недавно.

   На  протяжении многих лет, люди пересекали его шаре, каноэ, лодках, парашютах, водных лыжах, и вплавь. Кажется, что Британцы получают удовольствие от того, что используют необычные методы покорения Ла – Манша, используя все от машины до кровати.

   Пролив протянулся на 350 миль от Атлантического Океана до Северного моря, отделяя южном побережье Англии от северном побережья Франции. Самая широкая точка пролива 120 миль, а самая узкая 21 миля. В ясный день, вы сможете увидеть белые утесы Дувра, находящиеся на французском побережье.
