Zealand
Zealand (Danish: Sjaelland) is an island in the eastern part of Denmark. It is just west of Sweden and a strait called the Oresund lies between the two. It has an area of 7,031 km2 and is the largest island in the country.
About 2,268,000 people were living in Zealand as of 2016. Most of these people live in and around Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, which is on the eastern shore of Zealand.
A number of bridges and tunnels link Zealand to other parts of Denmark. They include:
the Great Belt Bridge, which links Zealand to Funen, an island to the west.
the Storstrom Bridge, which links Zealand to Lolland, an island to the south.
the Oresund Bridge, which links Zealand (actually the island of Amager) to Sweden to the east, near Malmo.
