  Where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea known as the end of the ancient world. The Straits of Gibraltar separate Gibraltar from North Africa/Morocco with a distance of 21 kms / 14.5 miles.

Ships that sailed out of the Mediterranean, stopped at the straits and turned back looking at the Atlantic's horizan, thinking they would fall off the edge, as they thought the earth was flat and not round.
