Island or peninsula

It is defined as an island since 2013, as stated by the source.Yger (talk) 05:44, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Södertörn is however not any natural island as it is not separated by nature from (the rest of) the Swedish mainland.
Södertälje Canal and Hammarby Canal are no natural waters as they are man-made waterways built on natural landmass. The correct definition of Södertörn, at least according to UN, should be peninsula or artificial island rather than island.
The southern Stockholm centre district of Södermalm is no island as well, as it is separated from Södertörn by the man-made Hammarby Canal. If considering Hammarby Canal as a landmass, Södermalm is part of the Södertörn peninsula, and perhaps Gamla stan too, as Slussen is a man-made sealock/waterway. 212.100.101.104 (talk) 22:12, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Some green blotches, some pink blotches. Where's the island? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.173.108.123 (talk) 09:52, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
