Coordinates: 55°38?N 12°46?E? / ?55.633°N 12.767°E? / 55.633; 12.767 Saltholm (Salt Islet) is a Danish island in the Oresund, the strait that separates Denmark and Sweden. It is located to the east of the Danish island of Amager in Tarnby municipality and lies just to the west of the sea border between Denmark and Sweden. It is 7 km long and 3 km wide, covering an area of 16 km?, making it Denmark's 21st largest island. Saltholm is very flat; its highest point stands only 2 m (6 ft) above sea level, rendering it vulnerable to flooding if persistent east winds cause a tidal surge in the Baltic Sea. It is a relatively new landmass in geological terms, having risen from the sea about 4,000 years ago. Saltholm is surrounded by a large area of shallow water (of 2 m depth or less) covering an area of some 2,800 hectares. A series of islets, inlets and rock deposits from the last ice age appear at the south end of the island. Данное издание...
