River in Sweden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nissan (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈnɪ̂sːan]) is a 200 km long river in southwest Sweden. It ends in Halmstad, where it flows into the Kattegat. The straight middle and upper course of Nissan follows a branch of the Protogine Zone – a zone of crustal weakness in western Sweden.[3] Nissan drains the western part of the South Småland peneplain.[4]
