 | | The Danube Delta (Delta DunÄrii in Romanian), located in Dobrogea, Romania and a small part in Odes'ka oblast', Ukraine, is the largest and best preserved of European deltas, with an area of 3446 km². |
 | | The Treaty of Paris of 1856 which ended the Crimean War, Danube Delta together with two districts of Southern Bessarabia was included in the Principality of Moldavia and was established an international commission which made a series of works to help navigation. |
 | | Near Tulcea, the Danube is divided in three river branches before it flows into the Sea: Chilia, Sulina and Sfântu Gheorghe (Saint George), but many other channels split the Delta into areas with reed, marshes and forests, some of which are flooded during the spring and autumn. |
