| has gloss | eng: Cape Hatteras is a cape on the coast of North Carolina. It is the point that protrudes the farthest to the southeast along the northeast-to-southwest line of the Atlantic coast of North America. Two major Atlantic currents collide just off Cape Hatteras, the southerly-flowing cold water Labrador Current and the northerly-flowing warm water Florida Current (Gulf Stream), creating turbulent waters and a large expanse of shallow sandbars extending up to 14 miles offshore. These shoals are known as Diamond Shoals. Because mariners utilize ocean currents to speed their journey, many ships venture close to Cape Hatteras when traveling along the eastern seaboard, risking the perils of sailing close to the shoals amid turbulent water and the frequent storms occurring in the area. So many ships have been lost off Cape Hatteras that the area is known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic". |

| has gloss | rus: Мыс Хаттерас — мыс на побережье Северной Каролины, расположен на одноимённом острове Внешних отмелей. Это крайняя юго-восточная точка Северной Америки по оси северо-восток — юго-запад. Напротив мыса Хаттерас сталкиваются два океанских течения: холодное течение Лабрадор, направляющееся на юг и тёплое Флоридское течение (Гольфстрим), направляющееся на север. Столкновение этих течений вызывает бурные завихрения и приводит к мелям из наносного песка, которые тянутся от мыса на 14 миль в океан. Попутные течения всегда привлекали мореплавателей, использующих их для ускорения плавания. Однако, бурные воды этих мест и мели так часто вызывали кораблекрушения, что область вокруг мыса Хаттерас называют «кладбище Атлантики». |
