What is the cold knowledge of world geography?

The naming origin of the strait. The coast of Eurasia has been a coastal zone with very developed navigation since ancient times, and most of the straits are named after the nearest place names. For example, the English Channel (Dover), Malacca, Singapore and so on. Sailors have been sailing here for many years. Who knows when they found out? At the edge of the once civilized world, in Greenland, at the southern tip of Africa and America, near the Arctic Circle, between the vast Pacific islands, the straits are almost all named after people. 15 19 Magellan set sail and was named strait of magellan when crossing South America; From 1585 to 1587, the British navigator Davis explored the northwest route three times and entered the Arctic Circle for the first time, leaving a davis strait. 1577, a British pirate ship "Jin Lu" was driven to the south of Tierra del Fuego by a storm, and accidentally discovered the passage between South America and Antarctica, so it was named Drake Strait after the pirate leader. 1769, an Englishman, Cook, passed through the middle of two islands in New Zealand, one south and one north, and discovered the Cook Strait. 1787 The Frenchman La Peruz visited the coast of Asia and left his name between Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido. The Danish Bering crossed the Sea of Okhotsk to kamchatka peninsula in 1724, and entered the Arctic Ocean the following year. 17 later, he went to Alaska again. The island where he died is called Bering Island, and Na Pianhai is called Bering Sea. The strait that international international date line must pass through is called Bering Strait. There are exceptions. For example, da Daniil Strait, da Daniil means bracelet in Latin, and Bosporus Strait means "crossing the cow", which is based on the legend that Zeus changed the cow into a man to swim across the river. The naming origin of the Strait of Gibraltar can be traced back to Arabic. A general named Tariq built a castle at the southern tip of the peninsula, named Ziburtarik. Zhibul means mountain, but in English it becomes Gibraltar.
