| Sjaelland, Denmark: Sjaelland, Denmark. Remarkably clear view of the island and of Copenhagen, although the statue of The Little Mermaid at the entry to the harbor can't quite be discerned. Helsingor, on the northeast tip of Sjaelland within 2 miles of Sweden, is the Elsinore of Shakespeare's drama Hamlet, prince of the Danes. The south cape of Sweden, Falsterbo, and the city of Malmo can also be seen. The island in the Kattegat between Copenhagen and Malmo, on which there is a Swedish nuclear power plant, is bounded by a fault zone that has been active episodically for more than 560 million years. The prolongation of that fault farther northwest offsets sediments a few thousand years old. |
