Jaksza - Pinsk - Polesie

Polesie Coat of Arms.

Polesie was one of Polands largest districts yet the most sparsely populated due the marshy terrain.

Wiki :- The Pinsk (Pripyat) Marshes mostly lie within the Polesian Lowland and occupy most of the southern part of Belarus and the north-west of Ukraine. They cover roughly 98,419.5 square kilometres (38,000 sq. miles) surrounding the Pripyat River on both sides. Dense woods are interspersed with numerous swamps, moors, ponds and streams extending 300 miles (480 km) west to east and 140 miles (225 km) north to south. The marshes undergo substantial changes in size during the year, with melting snows in springtime and autumn rainfall causing extensive flooding as the river overflows. Drainage of the eastern portion began in 1870, and significant areas have been cleared for pasture and farmland.
