The 44th meridian leaves Greenland mainland at Prince Christian Sound (which is part of the sea, with salt water), crosses it, and crosses the Christian IV Island and a fjord, actually a strait, and then Egger Island and then enters open sea. The question is if we shall list one of these sounds, both, or none. I want Prince Christian Sound to be listed, for the reason, it is the coast of mainland Greenland to the ocean water. And User:Bazonka wants the Christian IV/Egger Island strait listed, called "a fjord", for the reason that Prince Christian Sound is too narrow. It is around 1 km wide. Well, the Christian IV/Egger Island strait is around 3 km wide. What is the width requirement for a strait to be counted? --BIL (talk) 19:05, 1 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
- On the 44th meridian, there is 10km of water between Christian IV Island and Egger Island. This is significant, and so must be mentioned. (Unfortunately I cannot find out the name of this strait/fjord/waterbody, if it even has one.) Prince Christian Sound is long (roughly east-west), but the narrow crossing is really not significant for the north-south meridian. I will amend the article to mention Christian IV Island, but the Sound is trivial as far as the meridian is concerned. Bazonka (talk) 15:04, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
