Balta Ialomiţei, River island between Danube branches in Ialomița County, Romania.
The island spans 94 kilometers in length and varies between 5 to 12.5 kilometers in width, covering 831.3 square kilometers of land.
The territory transformed from natural wetlands with marshes and forests into agricultural lands through systematic modifications during the past centuries.
The island contains multiple ecological zones where various water birds nest and feed within the remaining natural wetland sections.
The A2 freeway crosses the island and provides direct access to different sections, while seasonal floods occur frequently in spring months.
Two separate branches of the Danube River, named Borcea and Dunărea Veche, flow around the island, creating natural boundaries.
