Chalk talk
The blank canvas that lines England's southeast coast has inspired not only poets and musicians, but also one of Great Britain's oldest known names. Easily seen from French shores here at the English Channel's narrowest point, the chalky White Cliffs of Dover are easily spotted from mainland Europe. So it's thought that the classical name 'Albion' (likened to a Greek word for white) arose from how ancient visitors described the cliffs. Chalk it up to strong first impressions!
