listen); Ukrainian: Дельта Дунаю, Deľta Dunayu, Ukrainian pronunciation: [deʎˈtɐ dunɑˈju]) is the second largest river delta in Europe, after the Volga Delta, and is the best preserved on the continent.[2] The greater part of the Danube Delta lies in Romania (Tulcea County), while its northern part, on the left bank of the Chilia arm, is situated in Ukraine (Odessa Oblast). Its approximate surface area is 4,152 km2 (1,603 sq mi), of which 3,446 km2 (1,331 sq mi) is in Romania.
