Popina Island in the context of Lake Razelm
Lake Razelm or Lake Razim (Romanian: Limanul Razim, Limanul Razelm) is a large freshwater lagoon on the shores of the Black Sea in Romania, south of the Danube Delta and part of its World Heritage Site. It is the largest liman in Romania.
The name is also sometimes applied to the complex it forms with several other limans and lagoons. This complex can be separated into two subgroups. The northern subgroup contains freshwater Razelm and Lake Golovița, which are connected by a channel 3.1 km (1.9 mi) wide, whereas the southern group is made up of salt lakes. All these lakes cover an area of about 1,000 km (390 sq mi), of which 400 km (150 sq mi) is the area of Lake Razelm alone.
