Perekopsky peresheek

Japanese: ペレコプ地峡 - ペレコプちきょう（英語表記）Perekopsky peresheek

An isthmus in southern Ukraine that connects the Crimean Peninsula (Krym Peninsula) to the mainland. It separates the Black Sea's Kalknitsky Bay to the west and Lake Sibash on the Sea of Azov to the east. It is 8 km wide at its narrowest point and 20 m at its highest point. It is a steppe, semi-desert area. In the 13th century, the peninsula and the surrounding area became Tatar territory, and in the 15th century, the prehistoric moat was rebuilt and fortifications were built. As it was the only land route to the Crimean Peninsula, it was a strategic location and the site of many wars. Today, a highway, a railway, and the North Crimean Canal pass through the isthmus.

ウクライナ南部，クリミア半島 (クルイム半島) を本土に結びつける地峡。西に黒海のカルキニツキー湾，東にアゾフ海のシバシ湖を分ける。最狭部は 8km，最高点 20m。ステップ，半砂漠地帯である。 13世紀には半島を含めてタタール人の領土となり，15世紀，先史時代にさかのぼる堀が再建され，要塞が建てられた。クリミア半島に達する唯一の陸路であったため古くから戦略上の要地として多くの戦争の戦場となった。現在，ハイウェー，鉄道，北クリミア運河がこの地峡を通る。
