Södertörn

Södertörn is a roughly triangular island in eastern Södermanland, Sweden, which is bordered by: * Lake Mälaren and the inlet of Saltsjön (a part of Baltic Sea) to the north, * Himmerfjärden and Hallsfjärden (parts of Baltic Sea) to the west and * The Baltic Sea (Stockholm Archipelago) to the east and the south. * The Södertälje Canal to the south west. The island's name (á [...] Taurinum in 1225, Tør in 1283, a Tørinne in 1383 and eventually ‘‘Södertörn’’ since 1645) derives from the Old Norse dialect word tor, meaning "broken rocky beaches", which cut deep into the coast of Södertörn.
