Talk:44th meridian west

Borderline between Greenland mainland and islands
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)
 * 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)
