Sea without Sargasso shore (Algae tail)
The vast majority of the seas are at the edge of the oceans, adjacent to the mainland, but the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic is "the ocean in the ocean ", a vast sea in the West, and the other three sides immense water surface. Therefore, it is the only sea in the world without a shore, so there is no clear boundary.

The position of the Sargasso Sea is about 20-35 o North latitude, 30-75 o West seashore. Area of about several million km 2 . It is made up of the encirclement of the Mexican hot ocean, the North equatorial hot ocean and the cold Canari ocean.
On the sea of Sargasso sea covered with algae without green roots, it was Sargasso, which looked like a green field, stretching its tip. In addition, this is a windless area. Before having a steam engine, the boat had to be taken away by the wind. Today, if there is a boat entering this sea, there will be no wind to motivate, to stay behind so it is called "Sea of demons". On 3 August 1492, Colombo had let his boat enter the Sargasso Sea, it took 3 weeks to escape.
The Sargasso Sea is far away from the river mouths, so it is less planktonic and clear sea water, can look up to 66.5m deep; some places can look 72m deep. Therefore, the Sargasso Sea is also the sea of water in the world.
There are some special fish species such as flying fish, flagfish, seahorses, Sargasso fish, which are mainly used for horse-tail algae as food. They are very talented in camouflage, changing color like seaweed. The most strange is the Sargasso fish: the fish color is the same as the ponytail, its eyes can also change color. When he met an enemy, he could drink a lot of sea water, causing his body to bulge and make enemies afraid to attack it.
