General Information
Denmark, a Scandinavian country, is famous for its Viking history, modern design, and Copenhagen.
Where Denmark is Located
Denmark is in Northern Europe, consisting of the Jutland Peninsula and over 400 islands. It is bordered by Germany to the south, with coastlines along the North Sea to the west and the Baltic Sea to the east. The Faroe Islands and Greenland are also part of the Danish Realm. Copenhagen, its capital, lies on the island of Zealand.
Landscape of Denmark
Denmark's gently undulating terrain was shaped by glacial movements, creating a landscape of low hills, fertile plains, and over 400 islands (only 70 inhabited). The Jutland peninsula features heathlands, dunes and fjords on both east and west coasts, while the islands like Zealand and Funen contain lush farmland and beech forests. The country's highest point reaches just 170m above sea level. Coastal landscapes vary from white sand beaches in the north to dramatic chalk cliffs at Møns Klint. Denmark's man-made landscapes include extensive polders, wind farms, and the famous "Danish garden" agricultural areas.
Climate of denmark
Denmark has a temperate maritime climate, characterized by mild, wet winters and cool, damp summers. The coastal regions, including the capital Copenhagen, experience relatively mild temperatures throughout the year, though winters can still bring frost and snow. Rain is common throughout the year, and the weather is often overcast, with long summer days and shorter winter days.
Natural resources of denmark
Oil, natural gas, fish, and fertile land are key resources.
