The Danish Wadden Sea Islands are a group of islands on the western coast of Jutland, Denmark. They belong to the new region of Southern Denmark since January 1, 2007. Previously they belonged to the counties of South Jutland and Ribe.
The Danish islands differ from the German North Frisian Islands because no Frisians live on the Danish islands.

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or islands:
“The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits;—”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
