An isthmus is a narrow strip of land connecting two larger land areas, usually with water on either side
Canals are often built across isthmuses, where they may be a particularly advantageous short cut for marine transport.
The '' The Panama Canal'' crosses the Isthmus of Panama connecting the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
The ''Suez Canal'' connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean cutting across the western side of an isthmus formed by the Sinai Peninsula
