DroppieThe 18 islands which make up the Faroes are connected by 23 tunnels, four of which run below the seaLook, i'm not a rocket scientist nor brain surgeon, so i'm struggling a bit here. Pls help, someone.
What's an island? Ain't it kinda sorta like a bit of land surrounded by, not to put too fine a point on it, a body of water, which in non-lake & non-riverine contexts, some might consider a bit, well... sea-ish?
So, if one were to have, say, 18 islands, so defined, & if they were all interconnected via tunnels, then... & this seems to be the tricky bit... doesn't it kinda sorta ipso facto mean that all said tunnels run below the seaI mean, if vehicular transport infrastructure were to connect some islands together but not be "below the sea", mightn't some vulgar cynics tend to opine these would be called, well... bridges ?
What vital concepts & facts am i missing here, pls? 🤔🤷🤯
