Vendsyssel-Thy or Nørrejyske Ø (Danish for North Jutlandic Island) is the northernmost part of Denmark. Technically, it is the second largest island of Denmark (excluding Greenland), however for practical and traditional reasons it is considered a part of the Jutland Peninsula, from which it became physically separated during a flood in 1825. The area is separated from Jutland proper by the Limfjord.

Vendsyssel-Thy was once connected to Jutland proper by a 13 km long and less than 1 km wide isthmus, Agger Tange, which separated the North Sea from the Limfjord. It became an island on February 3, 1825 when the sea broke through the northern end of the isthmus, creating Agger Channel. Thyborøn Channel, located farther south of the original canal, was created through the center of the isthmus by another flood in 1862. Agger Channel began to fill up with sand and was eventually filled up in 1877, thus making the island a little bit larger. The Isthmus of Panama connects North and South America. ...
