Panorama Photo

Much of what is visible here are man-made. The small islands were made for fortifications reasons. A handful of these artficial islands were made during the period of 1787-1916, to protect the capital from seaside attacks. They all failed ultimately when needed; the first island (not visible here) was not finished when the british attacked in 1801, but it did cause a lot of damage however. Middelgrunden was armed with heavy guns when the germans attacked in 1940, but only warningshots were fired against the invading ships. The stationed crew wasn't properly trained in firing the canons, and so it never fired real shells on any of the ships.
