Krypton was a watery world, consisting primarily of two continents and two oceans. The largest ocean was Dandahu, separating Urrika from Lurvan; on the west side of Lurvan.
History
Earth-One
Kryptonians originally settled the east continent of Urrika before setting sail across the Dandahu. Brothers Val-El and Tro-El were the first to set off from Erkol on their voyage of discovery, after Bur-El left them a tablet with instructions on how to make a compass, and thus know direction regardless of the weather. They crossed the Dandahu Ocean, visiting the island civilization of Vathlo and established colonies that would ultimately become Bokos and Argo City.
The Dandahu Ocean held many dangers for unwary sailors, such as the Hailstorm-Whirlwind [1] and the Pryllgu - a fearsome beast.
Earth 23
President Calvin Ellis, Kalel of Krypton, was from the island of Vathlo in the green Dandahu Ocean. Jorel and Lara put young Kalel in a prototype rocket and sent him to Earth as Krypton was destroyed.[2]
Earth 0
The first creatures that could live on land emerged from the Dandahu Sea.[3]

Notes
In the great Kryptonian deluge, the water levels of Dandahu (and all oceans) were raised by an unimaginable amount, reaching the peak of Mount Mundru.. Only Superman's ancestors Jaf-El, Tio-El and their followers were saved by the Tanthuo Flez. Superman believes that the Gold Volcano that Jaf-El predicted was to blame.
