The Danish Strait?? Where is that? Not between Scandinavia (including what?) and Denmark.

Otherwise great quiz.

The Danish strait is in Canada and separates Ellef Ringes Island and Christian Island. What about Oresund or The Sound? Definitely hadn’t heard of Nicholas Strait? That was great. Great quiz! So many straits out there.
