Anadolu Kavağı, Turkey

Just north of Istanbul, container ships follow the pattern of their ancient Greek ancestors. They are getting a push from the southward-flowing current. Twenty meters down is the northward-flowing counter current. The surface current flows one way, the deep current flows the other: perfect for trade in the days before steam and diesel. [2010]
