Lolland

The project's main construction site is located at the northern entrance to the tunnel, on the coast of Lolland island in the south east of Denmark.

It's also hoped the huge investment will boost jobs, business and tourism in Lolland, which is one of Denmark's poorest regions.

Planned construction of the underwater tunnel, which will connect the Danish island of Lolland with the German island of Fehrman, has forced archaeologists to rush to collect artifacts and fossil evidence before they are lost forever.

The 2cm-long lump of ancient gum was discovered during archaeological excavations at Syltholm on Lolland Island, before construction work on the Fehmarn tunnel to connect Denmark to Germany.

Other traces of DNA gave clues to life at Syltholm on Lolland, an island of Denmark in the Baltic Sea.
