Popis: | Relict spits shown on the first contour maps of Northern Jylland indicate that in postglacial times there were several straits linking Limfjorden to the North Sea across what is now a single island. At least two generations of spits can be seen on the uplifted marine plain. The spits at the higher elevation were formed by forces coming from northerly directions, while the lower spits were subjected to forces coming only from Limfjorden. |
