What is a neck of land?<\/h2>\n

Picture this: two chunks of land engaged in a tense standoff, separated by a spindly strip of dirt like the world\u2019s most underwhelming tug-of-war rope. That, dear reader, is a \u201cneck of land\u201d<\/b>\u2014nature\u2019s attempt at a land bridge but with significantly less drama. Think of it as the geographical equivalent of that one coworker who volunteers to \u201cconnect teams\u201d but mostly just forwards emails. It\u2019s a narrow strip holding things together, but you\u2019re not entirely sure how or why.<\/p>\n

Not to be confused with\u2026<\/h3>\n

Before you ask: no, it\u2019s not<\/i> where Mother Nature stores her spare turtlenecks. Nor is it the result of a continent doing too many chin reps at the gym. A neck of land is a real thing! Sort of. It\u2019s the cranky cousin of an isthmus (Panama Canal vibes) but smaller, like if you took a regular isthmus and put it through a shrink ray operated by a mischievous geographer.<\/p>\n
