Explanation:
trzeba się trzymać nazwy własnej chyba, że chodzi o rozważania z zakresu gleboznawstwa ale raczej nie o to tu chodzi.

Popatrz np. na Britannicę - http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/658339/Zulawy-Wisl...

Gdańsk area aits / eyots / shoals


Explanation:
Żuławy to nic innego jak teren delty największej polskiej rzeki - Wisły. - http://www.zulawy.info/zulawy.htm

Ktoś zapyta jak do tego doszedłem?

1. Żuławy Gdańskie, niem. Danziger Werder - http://tinyurl.com/ykoa9yf

2. "Werder" niemiecka Wikipedia - http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werder_(Landschaft)

3. An ait (or eyot) is a small island in a river. - angielska wersja - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ait

4. Shoal - A shoal, sandbar (or just bar in context), or gravebar is a somewhat linear landform within or extending into a body of water, typically composed of sand, silt or small pebbles - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoal

Czyli żuławy to coś jak następne wcielenie mierzei :)
