hallig Explanation: The land is protected by dikes, and outside is the Wadden Sea, consisting of mud flats, which are flooded during high tide, and which partly dry out at low tide. There are several islands in the Wadden Sea. They are also flat and almost level with the surrounding sea. The bigger ones are protected by dikes, *the smaller ones - known as "halligs" - are not*. http://www.narcoa.org/world/de/lorenbahn/pg1.htm ("Halligen" = little islands in North Friesian mud flats which are flooded by stormy high tides). http://www.fewo-welt.de/nordsee/nf/g01/grueter_engl.htm There are four small *hallig islands (islands without a sea dyke)* and one island with dunes. http://www.wetlands.agro.nl/ramsar_database/Ramsar_Dir/Germa...
