Boussole

    0.01 sec.
Boussole 

a strait between Simushir Island and the Brouton, Makairu, and Chernye Brat’ia islands in the Kuril Islands.

Boussole Strait joins the Sea of Okhotsk with the Pacific Ocean. It is 68 km wide and 1, 275-1, 750 m deep, with occasional drops to depths of 2, 225 m. Constant surface currents travel from the Pacific Ocean into the Sea of Okhotsk, but the deeper currents move in the opposite direction. There are strong tides in the strait. Boussole Strait was named in 1787 by the French navigator G. F. La Pérouse after the ship Boussole.
