Where the Baltic and North Seas meet

In the resort town of Skagen you can watch an amazing natural phenomenon. This city is the northernmost point of Denmark, where the Baltic and North Seas meet. The two opposing tides in this place can not merge because they have different densities.

Regardless of the location, this is a stunning photo!

  1. The Holy Quran mentioned that there is a barrier between two seas that meet and that they do not transgress. God has said:

    He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress. (Quran, 55:19-20)

    But when the Quran speaks about the divider between fresh and salt water, it mentions the existence of “a forbidding partition” with the barrier. God has said in the Quran:

    He is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition. (Quran, 25:53)

    • Thanks for your comments! I note that your website also points to a similar phenomenon involving the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean:

      Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier between them. This barrier divides the two seas so that each sea has its own temperature, salinity, and density.1 For example, Mediterranean sea water is warm, saline, and less dense, compared to Atlantic ocean water. When Mediterranean sea water enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill, it moves several hundred kilometers into the Atlantic at a depth of about 1000 meters with its own warm, saline, and less dense characteristics. The Mediterranean water stabilizes at this depth2 …
