The Öresund is the shortest sea route between the North and the Baltic Seas. For centuries it was a bone of contention for many maritime nations. But not all ships can sail through it, because the shipping channel is only eight metres deep in some places.

The result is that Copenhagen and Malmö have almost merged.
