Trivia: Which national capital sits on the coastal islands of Zealand and Amager?
Ottawa, Canada
Canberra, Australia
Brussels, Belgium
Copenhagen, Denmark
The correct answer is Copenhagen, Denmark
So why is this answer correct? : Denmark’s capital of Copenhagen is located on the coastal islands of Zealand and Amager, at the southern end of Øresund (“The Sound”), which forms the Danish-Swedish border. Founded as a Viking fishing village in the 10th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445. The island of Zealand actually lent its name to another country across several ponds: New Zealand.
