About Denmark
Denmark is a Nordic country in Northern Europe, comprising the Jutland Peninsula and several Baltic Sea islands known as the Danish Archipelago.

Denmark has a coastline of 8,750 km but a shorter general coastline of 1,701 km, not accounting for offshore islands and the Limfjorden. Its land area is estimated at 43,094 km2 but varies due to erosion and land reclamation.
