Strip of land connecting two larger areas
An isthmus ( ISS-məs, ISTH-məs; pl.: isthmuses or isthmi -my; from Ancient Greek ἰσθμός isthmós 'neck') is a narrow piece of land connecting two larger areas across an expanse of water by which they are otherwise separated. A tombolo is an isthmus that consists of a spit or bar. The inverse counterpart of an isthmus is a strait, a narrow stretch of sea between two landmasses that connects two larger bodies of water.
