It includes all of the major areas of Denmark (and its surrounding countries) and the 3 straits feeding water from the Baltic Sea to the North Atlantic.
This went into the Introduction this morning as well.

Map of Denmark
Next, I added the labels to my map of Denmark (I'd adapted the map from a screen capture from Google Maps last week).
It includes all of the major areas of Denmark (and its surrounding countries) and the 3 straits feeding water from the Baltic Sea to the North Atlantic.
This went into the Introduction this morning as well.

Map of Scandinavia
This morning started by taking a map of Scandinavia from Wikipedia...
...cropping it and recoloring the countries to that I could identify them in my Introduction by referring to the color:
The blue is Denmark (not showing Greenland on the map).

An amazing map of Denmark
As I was searching for a topological map of the island of Fyn, I came across this amazing map of Denmark.
This map is from the Latin edition of Willem Janszoon and Joan Blaeu's Theatrum orbis terrarum, sive, Atlas novus, the "New Atlas". At least it was new in 1645 when it was first published.
The maps are amazing. The one for Iceland shows an erupting volcano.
