Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For instance, in France the Canal du Midi connects the Garonne river to the Mediterranean Sea, thereby completing a continuous water connection from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. |
| | So technically, the land mass that includes the Iberian peninsula and the part of France that is south of the Garonne river and the Canal du Midi is completely surrounded by water. |
| | Other examples of such coast-to-coast watersystems that are not considered to cut a land mass in two are the Caledonian and Forth and Clyde canals in Scotland and the Volga-Baltic Waterway in Russia. |
