19th Century view of A Winter's Day at Crowland in the Fen Country, Lincolnshire, England. Also known as the Fenlands, the naturally marshy region supports a rich ecology and numerous species, and helps absorb storms. Most of the fens were drained centuries ago, resulting in a flat, dry, low-lying agricultural region supported by a system of drainage channels and human-made rivers (dykes and drains) and automated pumping stations.
