Mozambique
The Mozambique Channel (Canal du Mozambique, Malagasy: Lakandranon'i Mozambika, Canal de Moçambique) is an arm of the Indian Ocean located between the Southeast African countries of Madagascar and Mozambique. The channel is about 1,700 km (900 nmi, 1, 100 mi) long and 419 km (226 nmi, 260 mi) across at its narrowest point, and reaches a depth of 3,292 m (10, 801 ft) about 230 km (124 nmi, 143 mi) off the coast of Mozambique. A warm current, the Mozambique Current, flows in a southward direction in the channel, leading into the Agulhas Current off the east coast of Southern Africa.
