Skagerrak

Skagerrak, strait between the southern coast of Norway, the southern coast of Sweden, and the Jutland Peninsula of Denmark. Together with the Kattegat, and the Øresund straits, it connects the North Sea with the Baltic Sea. About 210 km (130 mi) long and 100 km (70 mi) wide, the Skagerrak is shallow near Jutland but deepens near the Norwegian coast. The strait is subject to violent storms. During World War I the naval Battle of Jutland was fought in the Skagerrak in 1916.
