Most of the province lies below sea level and was <a href="/wiki/Land_reclamation" title="Land reclamation">reclaimed</a> from the sea by inhabitants over time. What used to be a muddy landscape, flooding at high tide and reappearing at low tide, became a series of small man-made hills that stayed dry at all times. The people of the province would later connect the hills by creating <a href="/wiki/Levee" title="Levee">dikes</a>, which led to a chain of dry land that later grew into bigger islands and gave the province its current shape. The shape of the islands has changed over time at the hands of both people and nature. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/North_Sea_flood_of_1953" title="North Sea flood of 1953">North Sea flood of 1953</a> inundated vast amounts of land that were only partially reclaimed. The subsequent construction of the <a href="/wiki/Delta_Works" title="Delta Works">Delta Works</a> also changed the face of the province. The infrastructure, although very distinct by the number of bridges, tunnels and dams, has not shaped the <a href="/wiki/Geography" title="Geography">geography</a> of the province so much as the geography of the province has shaped its infrastructure. The dams, tunnels and bridges that are currently a vital part of the province's <a href="/wiki/Transport_in_the_Netherlands#Road_transport" title="Transport in the Netherlands">road system</a> were constructed over the span of decades and came to replace old ferry lines. The final touch to this process came in 2003 when the <a href="/wiki/Western_Scheldt_Tunnel" title="Western Scheldt Tunnel">Western Scheldt Tunnel</a> was opened. It was the first solid connection between both banks of the <a href="/wiki/Western_Scheldt" title="Western Scheldt">Western Scheldt</a> and ended the era of water separating the islands and peninsulas of Zeeland. </p><p>Zeeland consists of several islands and peninsulas.
