Black Sea – an important place in history and leave place to visit now
The region of the Black Sea is like a good composition in music, he has a framework consisting of spectacular shoreline and mountain ranges, it contains marine life of the oldest found Earth to form the most intelligent life ever found. You can explore its contents by a wide range of possibilities and only the visitor himself can not describe the beauty of his views or his views. Everyone's experience in the region of the Black Sea differently depdenant on your interests and angle of approach. In this article I try to give a little history of the Black Sea, and to describe some of the characteristics inside and around it. You can find details on various places and activities in other articles I have written about the Crimea, but I hope to convince you of one thing, visiting the region and add your own story about the place. It is a memory for life, but not least, the place is unique in history and today.
Looking through the Black Sea Mountain Ai-Petri, you may ask why such a sea of sparkling blue is called the Black Sea. The reason is unknown why it's called the Black Sea. The sea can be pretty stormy in winter, but some believe the name was given by sailors and pirates who have discovered his dark side when the sky turned dark with storm clouds.
The ancient Greeks knew the Black Sea, the Sea of Scythians, called after the tribe which held its banks at the time. Castaway would expect no mercy from the Scythians, who plundered the wrecks and made wine cups in marine skulls. The Greeks also called it Pontos Axenos, which means SE inhospitable. When the Greeks settled in the Crimea, they called Euxenos Pontos, which means the hospitable sea.
Crimea 517 km of clean beaches – mainly composed of small stones while in the east there is the black volcanic sand and Morskoy Sudak and west we find sand money in Evpatoria. Many beaches are public and private companies owned hotels and resorts / spa centers are generally open to non-customers at a low price per day. If you are a naturist, you can find naturist beaches near Koktebel east.
Beaches main tourist opportunities have pedal boats, jet-skiing, sailing and speed boating, fishing, paragliding, flights had micro and a range of other possibilities, in addition to the cruise ship along the coast. Wind-surfing is also possible, but good quality advice and sails may not be readily available, however a club windsurfing to Feodosia in the eastern extremity of the peninsula can be recommended.
The picturesque route and wind power along the coast of Feodosia in the east of Sevastopol on the west is a spectacular drive, and easily classify as one of the most beautiful drives in the world. For much of the route you are looking over the sea from the mountains down to the coast and views are spectacular.
The rocky Black Sea bays are ideal for scuba diving, and there are many gallops along the coast. Balaclava is a favorite, where there is an underwater reef great. From there you can dive into the underwater ruins of Khersoness, where part of the Byzantine city was swamped by rising sea levels.
Dacha playwright Anton Chekhov to Gursuf overlooks a small bay where he used to watch dolphins. Outside bill and other species of dolphins, sea approximately 180 species of fish, including tuna, anchovies, herring, mullet, mackerel, sturgeon and white famous you will find on the menu of most good restaurants in the Crimea.
There are also some seals in the Black Sea, but their number is decreasing rapidly. Bottlenose dolphins are requested by amusement parks and dolphin because of their playful acrobatics and receptivity to training, and about 120 dolphins live in Black Sea were traded internationally between 1990 and 2001.
If you swim in the Black Sea at night, especially in August, in May, you will notice that waves have a strange luminous quality. This is the phosphorescence of the sea, caused by the interaction of plankton in the water.
The Black Sea is very deep (1,271 m in the center), but it is less salty than most oceans.
He began his life as a freshwater lake there are approximately 22,000 years. Seven to nine years ago in 1000, melted glaciers and polar ice caps, made the sea levels rise and eventually the Mediterranean overflowed through the Bosphorus straight, turning the lake into the Black Sea. Many archaeologists believe that this catastrophic event was, in fact, the deluge Noah of the Bible.
The sea is the only one to two layers, an upper layer peroxide, about 200m deep, teeming with life and death ' lower layer, where, until recently, nothing has been thought to be able to survive. The lower layer formed in May when the salt of the Mediterranean water flowed more dense than fresh water lake, he moved, he would have plunged straight down, leaving a diluted mixture of freshwater and saltwater summit. For thousands of years, major rivers like the Danube and the Dnieper paid organics in this new sea because of a lack of vertical currents, the emergence of organic matter was too much for the bacteria that normally it would have decomposed aerobically, and the result was a loss of oxygen for hydrogen sulfide. This means that the lower layer, 87% volume of the Black Sea is an area virtually barren of water charged with hydrogen sulphide.
Another peculiarity of the Black Sea is the bi-directional Current, where it flows through the Straits of Bosphorus towards the Mediterranean. The flow of surface currents westward through the straits in the Sea of Marmaris, but there is a deep current that flows along in the opposite direction, back into the Black Sea.
Recently, scientists Germany have discovered coral made by micro-organisms processing methane and sulphates in total darkness in the depths of the Black Sea. These corals are Now considered the world's oldest form of life. Traditional conceptions of primitive life on Earth have focused on plants that began to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, there are about three billion years. The micro-organisms recently discovered live on methane and is thought they are born there are four billion years. The German scientists believe they could prove useful in ridding the land of excess methane, the second most important greenhouse gas emissions after carbon dioxide.
