The 18 islands which make up the Faroes are connected by 23 tunnels, four of which run below the sea
Look, 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 sea
I 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? π€π€·π€―
