Peninsulas
Identify the distinct peninsula formations associated with the diverse terrain of Thy National Park. This collection highlights the geometric relationship between the park's expansive dune systems, heathlands, and the surrounding waters of the North Sea and Jutland coastal region, providing a clearer picture of the park's structural landscape.
Islands
An island is a discrete area of land completely surrounded by water, occurring in oceans, lakes, rivers, wetlands, or reservoirs. Islands can originate through volcanism, tectonic uplift, erosion, sediment deposition, reef growth, glacial processes, or the isolation of former mainland terrain. The category spans very different scales and does not by itself establish remoteness, habitation, geology, or ecological uniqueness.
