像湖一样的海(The sea that acts like a lake)

欧洲东北部的波罗的海是一个独特的水体，具有海洋、湖泊和河口的特征。严格地说，它实际上是一个海洋，因此得名恰当，通过丹麦的三个海峡与大西洋相连：厄勒孙海峡、大海峡和小海峡。从技术上讲，波罗的海被归类为微咸海，这意味着它不完全是新鲜的，也不完全是咸的。波罗的海不是内陆，但它确实与许多国家接壤，包括俄罗斯、芬兰、瑞典、丹麦、德国、波兰、立陶宛、拉脱维亚和爱沙尼亚——今天的图片中是爱沙尼亚海岸。

The Baltic Sea in northeast Europe is a peculiar body of water, possessing the characteristics of seas, lakes, and estuaries. Strictly speaking, it is in fact a sea and thus appropriately named, joined to the Atlantic Ocean through three straits in Denmark: the Oresund, Great Belt, and Little Belt. Technically, the Baltic is classified as a brackish sea, meaning it is not entirely fresh and not entirely saline. The Baltic Sea isn’t landlocked, but it does border many countries, including Russia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia – and it’s the Estonian coast featured in today’s image.
