The Clarence Strait is a narrow strait separating the Iranian island of Qeshm from the Iranian mainland. It is the much smaller counterpart to the Strait of Hormuz. The native name for the strait is Khuran.
Natural features
The ocean waters in the Clarence Strait area, which separates Qeshm Island from Iran, offer a diverse range of colors, like the land surfaces. While the waters south of the island appear uniformly dark, curved bands of lighter colors cross the Clarence Strait, likely due to shallower water and suspended sediment. ==References==
