  Title: Strait of Gibraltar
  Description:
  The Strait of Gibraltar (36.0N, 5.5W) as seen from the mid Atlantic looking 
  due east into the world of the Mediterranean.  In this one panoramic scene, 
  it is apparent how the Strait, known since ancient times as the gates of 
  Hercules, has been a boundry between the old and the new world as well as 
  between Europe to the north and Africa to the south.
