    A Spit is defined by its failure to meet land again at the down drift end. This is frequently because of fluvial outflows, but may also be due to the power of ebbing tides that maintain a channel out to sea. If a spit eventually reaches the down drift shore it is termed a Bar. Nice work otherwise :)

      hey genius, *HE* didnt name it that, go talk to ancient geographers of that area about them naming both this one and the Vistula lagoon one as spits.

    Excellent! But at the beginning of the video, please change 'SPIT'S" to "SPITS"

    Fun fact: I could probably see Curonian Spit out of my window if not for buildings and trees

    educational but you should have just said "Neman" instead of "Matrosovka," "Skirvyte," and "Dreverna"

    • @ValeriePallaoro

      Are you saying it's named the Neman? But it splits up into three rivers that have different ocean out falls; hence the three names

    I'm surprised the clever Europeans don't have a type of beer called SpitBrau, really

    Please remove the jarring apostrophe. Sounds like English is not your first language, so you get a pass, but only if you remove it.

      Perhaps he thinks it's an eponym, with the original geologist who discovered this land form being one Mr. Spit.

    Why do you need an apostrophe for the plural SPITS????
