What comes up is not the faint smudge most of northern Europe calls the Milky Way, but a river with structure in it, banked and braided. In 2017 the International Dark-Sky Association designated Møn and its small northern neighbour Nyord a Dark Sky Park — the first in Scandinavia. Denmark is flat, lit and thoroughly settled.
