<div id="ygrps-yiv-1875104115">nice question<br/>
<br/>
if i am reading the map right<br/>
then sjaelland & falster & lolland<br/>
& any other islands connected to them<br/>
tho of course all connected to one another<br/>
are not connected to continental denmark<br/>
but only to continental sweden<br/>
<br/>
& england <br/>
along with any other islands connected to it<br/>
is connected to continental france<br/>
but not to its own continental part <br/>
namely gibraltar<br/>
<br/>
& penon de velez de la gomera is usually connected to morocco<br/>
by a natural causeway <br/>
except perhaps in highest seas<br/>
but is only connected to continental spain via asia<br/>
<br/>
