Zealand (also Sealand; Danish: Sjælland; pronounced [ˈɕɛˌlænˀ]) is the largest island (7,031 km²) of Denmark (the 95 largest island in the world). Zealand is connected to Funen by the Great Belt Bridge and to Sweden by the Oresund Bridge.

The capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, is partly located on the eastern shore of Zealand and partly on Amager. Other cities on the island include Roskilde and Elsinore.

Mythological origins

Gefion carving Zealand from Sweden.

In Norse mythology, the island was created by the goddess Gefjun after she tricked Gylfi, the king of Sweden, as told in the story of Gylfaginning. She removed a piece of land and transported it to Denmark, and it became the island of Zealand. The vacant area was filled with water and became Mälaren. However, since modern maps show a similarity between Zealand and the Swedish lake Vänern, it is sometimes identified as the hole left by Gefjun.

How much money should I budget to live in New Zealand for a month?
Q. I am a canadian backpacking in New Zealand for 4 weeks. I'm just not sure how much money I am going to need to live there for a month. I am planning on doing lots of traveling and staying in hostels. Any suggestions? Thankyou!

A. I'm a Canuck, and I lived in Wellington NZ for about six months a couple of years ago... They have some great hostels (especially on the south island) that are reasonably priced... I'd say that three grand would be enough for everything... Taxes are included in the sticker price on all merchandise there! If you enjoy hiking...I would HIGHLY recommend doing the Mt. Tongariro Hike...the one I did was 17km and took us about six hours to do...it's VERY popular and has amazing natural scenery! We stayed at a hostel the night before and were picked up by a tour company which drops you off at one end of the Mnt and picks you up on the other end!! (But don't do it if you are going to be there in their winter months)... Feel free to send me… [cont.]

How can I make totally free calls to New Zealand mobiles using a VOIP service?
Q. I need to call my friend on his mobile in New Zealand. I've been looking for voip software online to do that but it was to no avail.
