Demonstrates that OR Demonstrates the

Hello,

Which of these sentences is correct, please?

"Indeed, any world map will demonstrate that the Bering Strait is the narrowest body of water quarantining the Americas from the rest of the world."

Or

"Indeed, any world map will demonstrate the Bering Strait is the narrowest body of water quarantining the Americas from the rest of the world." (From what I've read about relative clauses and pronouns, I think this is the correct sentence.)

Also, I had a hard time deciding if "map demonstrates that..." or if it should be "map will demonstrate that...". Is the "will" version correct?

Thanks,

Jason

"...demonstrate that the Bering Strait..." is the correct version.

I don't have any strong preference for either version but I would probably use "...map will demonstrate that..." if I was writing this unprompted.
