==Geography==

Zealand is the most populous Danish island. It is irregularly shaped, and is north of the islands of [[Lolland]], [[Falster]], and [[Møn]]. The small island of Amager lies immediately east.

Copenhagen is mostly on Zealand but extends across northern Amager. A number of bridges and the [[Copenhagen Metro]] connect Zealand to Amager, which is connected to [[Scania]] in Sweden by the [[Øresund Bridge]] via the artificial island of [[Peberholm]]. Zealand is joined in the west to Funen, by the Great Belt Fixed Link, and Funen is connected by bridges to the country's mainland, [[Jutland]].

On 5 June 2007, the regional subsidiary of national broadcaster [[DR (broadcaster)|DR]] reported that [[Kobanke]] in the southeast near the town [[Rønnede]] in [[Faxe Municipality]], with a height of {{convert|122.9|m}}, was the highest natural point on Zealand. [[Gyldenløveshøj]], south of the city [[Roskilde]], has a height of {{convert|126|m}}. However, that is due to a man-made hill from the 17th century and its highest natural point is only {{convert|121.3|m}}.

Zealand gives its name to the [[Selandian]] era of the [[Paleocene]].
