archipelagos (island groups, islands (landforms), ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |

Note: Areas of dry or relatively dry land or islands surrounded by water or low wetland; island groups considered archipelagos are characterized by compactness and adjacency. The original Greek meaning referred to the water in which such islands were located. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Eilanden of (relatief) droge stukken land die omringd zijn door water of lage draslanden; een groep eilanden wordt als archipel beschouwd als zij een hoge mate van compactheid hebben en dicht bij elkaar liggen. De oorspronkelijke Griekse betekenis van het woord verwees naar het water waarin zulke eilanden zich bevinden. |
