The largest island
Greenland is the largest island in the world, located in the northeast of North America, between North and Northern Europe, the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and four-fifths of the area north of the Arctic Circle.
It is said that in 982 AD, a Viking first came to Greenland, found a green meadow, and when he returned, he boasted that he had found a green continent and called it Greenland, the green land. In fact, Greenland has almost all year round of snow and does not have much greenery.
Greenland has an area of about 2.17 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of eight countries combined: the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, France, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland.
Since most of Greenland is within the Arctic Circle, the average temperature is very low, and there are polar day and night phenomena every year. During the polar day, the sun does not set for many days. At the polar night, the sun could not be seen for many days, and the surrounding area was dark.
The largest peninsula
The largest peninsula in the world is the Arabian Peninsula, located in the southwest of Asia and covering an area of about 3 million square kilometers. Most of the Arabian Peninsula is a tropical desert with a hot and dry climate, with average temperatures above 30°C in July and absolute temperatures reaching 55°C inland. The Arabian Peninsula receives less than 200 millimetres of rainfall a year, and in some places it hasn't rained for several years.
The Arabian Peninsula is rich in oil resources, which has brought great wealth to the countries and inhabitants of the peninsula.
The Arabian Peninsula is rich in fruits and vegetables such as carrots, melons, onions, spinach, dates, and the famous Arabian camel and angora goat.
The largest archipelago
The Malay Archipelago is the largest archipelago in the world, located between mainland Asia and Oceania, scattered over a vast expanse of water between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, consisting of more than 20,000 islands of various sizes with a total area of 2.43 million square kilometers, of which the larger islands are Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java, Luzon and Mindanao. Whether it is the number or area of islands, the Malay Archipelago is the first in the world.
The Malay Archipelago is located in a place where the earth's crust is active, and there are many volcanic islands that erupt hot magma from time to time. Because the islands are arranged in an arc from the air, they are figuratively called the "Corridor of Lights".
The Malay Archipelago has a typical tropical natural environment, rich in coconut, oil palm, rubber, kapok, pepper and many other tropical crops. #地理 #
