Zeeland, province in the Netherlands on canvas, poster, wallpaper and ArtFrame by Ardi Mulder
Zeeland (/?zi?l?nd/; Dutch pronunciation: ze?l?nt ( listen), Zeelandic: Zeêland z???l?nt) is the westernmost province of the Netherlands. The province, located in the south-west of the country, consists of a number of islands and peninsulas (hence its name, meaning "sea-land") and a strip bordering Belgium. Its capital is Middelburg. Its area is about 2,930 square kilometres (1,130 sq mi), of which almost 1,140 square kilometres (440 sq mi) is water, and it has a population of about 380,000.
Large parts of Zeeland are below sea level. The last great flooding of the area was in 1953. Tourism is an important economic activity. In the summer, its beaches make it a popular destination for tourists, especially German tourists. In some areas, the population can be two to four times higher during the high summer season. The coat of arms of Zeeland shows a lion half-emerged from water, and the text "luctor et emergo" (Latin for "I struggle and I emerge").[1] The country of New Zealand is named after Zeeland (not Zealand (Sjælland) in Denmark, as sometimes claimed).
