River D - River in Lincoln County, Oregon, United States. Once nameless river, known as "the shortest river in the world," was entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest river in the world length of 440 feet (130 m). This title was lost in 1989, when the book of Guinness World Records named the River Roe in Montana in the shortest in the world. 3. Hills «Ø», Daniya

Ø - a plot of land in the valley Nørreå in eastern Jutland, Denmark. Its name means island (ø in Danish) and probably comes from a similar approach to the island of land, although it is not completely landlocked and surrounded by meadows.

Å (pronounced: "Ai") is a small village in the municipality of Norrköping, Östergötland County, Sweden. Its population is about 200 people.

Å means stream or river, is a contender for the title of the shortest place name in the world - even though other places with names, Å, Ö or Y may also make such a statement.
