Grenen Beach, Skagen, Denmark

On the northern tip of Jutland, Denmark lies the wonder that is Grenen Beach. Perhaps you’ve heard about this before. It’s the place where two seas meet but never mix.
The Baltic Sea and the North Sea meet at some point and causes a line of white foam to appear on the surface of the water.

It’s an incredible natural phenomenon caused by the difference in densities and salinities of the two seas. At the point where they meet, an interesting exchange of sediments occur. Somewhere near the surface, small parcels of the water from both seas converge causing tiny bubbles to be formed. The bubbly foam then creates a line that shows the border of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. The currents of the two seas came from opposite directions.

This beautiful confluence of two water bodies creates something that never ceases to materialize on the surface. As long as their currents flow, the beautiful line that distinguishes them from each other will still be there bubbling up on the surface.

No matter how much they crash together again and again, they never lose themselves into each other. They stayed the way they are but they were able to create this magnificent thing between them. The coming together of two seas carrying waters from different parts of the world has never been this breathtaking.

“Oww!”
*maps and travel guides flying to the ground*

“Oh, I’m so sorry. Let me help you with that.”
*picks up maps and hands it over to her*

“Thank you.”

“Sorry.. and you’re welcome.”

“Hey, uhmm.. where are you going?”

“I don’t really know, how about you?”

“I don’t know either.”

“Are you from around here?”

“No”

“Me neither.” *chuckling*

“We are quite an interesting pair, aren’t we?”

“Ahh yes. Yes, indeed.”

“Well, nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you, too. I’m …”
