Named after the Corsican town of Bonifacio, the Strait of Bonifacio separates the French island of Corsica (the 4th-largest Mediterranean island) from the Italian island of Sardinia (the 2nd-largest Mediterranean island).
It is not a particularly deep strait, with a maximum depth of 100 metres, and French and Italian ships carrying dangerous goods are prohibited from using the strait because of the risks involved.
