The Channel Tunnel (Le tunnel sous la Manche), known colloquially as the Chunnel, is a 50.5km undersea rail tunnel linking Folkestone, Kent near Dover in the United Kingdom with Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais near Calais in northern France beneath the English Channel at the Strait of Dover. At its lowest point it is 75m deep. At 37.9km, the Channel Tunnel has the longest undersea portion of any tunnel in the world although the Seikan Tunnel in Japan is both longer overall, at 53.85km and deeper, at 240m below sea level.
