A peculiarity of the Black Sea is the small number of islands, are only 5 islands: Fidonisia, Berezoia and Snake Island, St. John's Island, Isle Kefken. Snake Island not far from the mouth of the Danube, the legend says would have been a temple famous Greek hero Achilles. After the accounts of ancient writers, ash Achilles, killed by Paris to Troy, was taken from his mother at the mouth of the Danube and buried on Snake Island where he raised a temple and a statue. Unlike other large Earth Black Sea is less jagged shores, only a few bays, but wide open. It is one of the largest continental and second largest by volume, maximum and average depth - as the Mediterranean and the North Sea.
Another characteristic feature of the Black Sea waters they are much lower salinity than other seas and oceans. Black Sea salinity is dependent, inter alia, climatic factors that affect evaporation and river water intake and Mediterranean. On average, Black Sea waters contain half the salinity of oceans or other large salt and 17 grams in 1 liter of water from 35 to 39 grams / liter, the world media. Salinity increases with depth reaching 22.4 g / liter on the seafloor.
Salinity variation depending on the presence of fresh water or salt, with variations in temperature and wind are the main reasons that cause the exchange of water from one place to another, which in certain circumstances take real look of marine rivers (streams). Along the coast revealing variation of coastline to identify the presence of a huge circular river that "running" in a counterclockwise direction.
