Form start

The terrestrial land has the most diverse outlines of coasts, including peninsulas: among them there are very long, elongated in a narrow strip, there are also like a curved hook. The most expressive form - an elegant boot - has the well-known Apennine Peninsula. The peninsulas can be part of a large mainland or a small island - this is the name of the land areas that go far into the sea, connected to the "continent" by a wide or very narrow isthmus. To a certain extent, even Western Europe fits the concept of a peninsula, but it is too large and therefore considered part of the European continent.

1. Arabian Peninsula (3,250,000 sq km)

The largest peninsula is located in the southeast of Asia, as if it shares it with Africa. From the west it is washed by the waters of the Red Sea, from the south by the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, from the east by the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf. The lion's share of the Arabian Peninsula is under the control of Saudi Arabia, in addition to which there are other Arab countries: Yemen, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain.
It is almost always sunny on the Arabian Peninsula, during the day there is a sweltering heat, literally driving all the inhabitants under the roofs. There are not many beauties of nature here, since 80% of the land is desert, but there is a lot of oil and gas. In general, the typical landscape of the Arabian Peninsula resembles the deserts of East Africa. The main population of the peninsula are Arabs, slightly diluted with foreigners (Egyptians, Filipinos, Indians, Pakistanis), and there are very few Europeans there.

A strait is a body of water that separates two areas of land, which in turn connects adjacent bodies of water. As you know, the widest strait...

2. Indochinese Peninsula (2,413,620 sq km)

On the southeast side of Asia is the second largest peninsula - Indochinese. Such a name to him further Europeans. When the British and French plowed the waters between Asia and Australia, when they looked at the inhabitants of this peninsula, they found in them features of the Indian and Chinese ethnic groups, which is why they called this land Indochina. From the west, this peninsula is washed by the waters of the Indian Ocean (Andaman Sea), and from the east by the Pacific Ocean (South China Sea). Many rivers flow through the peninsula, because the local climate is very humid. Thanks to this, Indochina is much more picturesque than the Arabian Peninsula.
On the territory of this peninsula there are several states whose culture has not so few common features. These include Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, most of Myanmar and a sliver of Bangladesh. There are similar religions and writing, some peoples have common traditions. But what is more important for local residents is what makes them special, unlike neighboring nations. Therefore, life on the peninsula is replete with a variety of colors, an incredible synthesis of cultures is felt here, although the inhabitants strive to adhere to their well-defined boundaries.

3. Hindustan (about 2,000,000 sq. km)

Since this peninsula is not connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, its boundaries, like the area, cannot be more or less accurately determined. It, like a stalactite, grows out of the middle of the southern coast of Asia. Previously, the entire peninsula was occupied by India, but after the British partitioned their colony, Pakistan and Bangladesh also appeared there.
The climate here is not as humid as in Indochina, it is hotter and drier. On both sides, the coast of the peninsula is washed by the waters of the Indian Ocean - the Arabian Sea from the west and the Bay of Bengal from the east.
Large reserves of iron ore, coal and other minerals have been discovered in Hindustan. India's own oil reserves helped develop a powerful oil refining industry. There are six million-plus cities on the territory of Hindustan. The beautiful, diverse nature and ancient history of this peninsula began to attract a huge number of tourists every year. Therefore, the development of tourism infrastructure has made significant progress in recent years.

A sea is a large body of water filled with salt water, which necessarily has a connection with one of the five oceans. There are seas that wedged deep into the mainland ...

4. Labrador (1,600,000 sq km)

This peninsula is located on the eastern side of North America. It is quite picturesque, so travelers from different countries come here. Labrador crosses many rivers, it is also very rich in lakes. There is a diverse flora, thanks to which the fauna of the peninsula is also abundant (foxes, muskrats, lynxes).
Since Labrador is located in the northern latitudes, it does not involve a beach holiday, because the climate here is quite severe. In winter, frosts below 35 degrees occur, while in summer the air almost does not warm up above 15 degrees. The climate here is humid, the weather is often chilly, but at the same time, there is not so much precipitation here. The north of the peninsula is covered with snow in winter, although it can rain heavily in the south at this time.

5. Scandinavian Peninsula (800,000 sq km)

The Scandinavian Peninsula is the largest in Europe and is located in the north of the continent. Basically, its territory is occupied by Sweden and Norway, partly Finland and even a tiny part of Russia are located here. The nature of the peninsula attracts with its northern beauty, so there are always many travelers here. From the north, the Scandinavian Peninsula is washed by the Barents Sea, from the west by the Norwegian Sea, from the southwest by the North Sea, and from the south and southeast by the Baltic Sea.
On the territory of the peninsula there are different climatic zones: if in the south there is a maritime climate, then in the north it is subarctic. Basically, the peninsula is covered with coniferous forests (pine, spruce), but there are also broad-leaved and mixed massifs. The fauna of the peninsula is rich, and there are many fish in the surrounding seas. The Scandinavians have arranged many parks and reserves.

For an ordinary person, the difference between "sleeping" and "extinct" volcanoes is not obvious. But the differences between them are quite significant...

6. Somalia (750,000 sq km)

This largest peninsula on the Black Continent is also called the Horn of Africa. From the north, it is limited by the waters of the Gulf of Aden, and from the east, the waves of the Indian Ocean splash. In the northeast, the peninsula ends with Cape Gvardafuy. The climate on this peninsula is harsh, arid, the local fauna and flora are represented by many species, but some of them are now on the verge of extinction. Of the 250 species of reptiles that have survived on the planet, over 90 can be found on the Somali Peninsula. In addition to the country of the same name, the peninsula contains part of Ethiopia, as well as Eritrea and Djibouti. International reserves and national parks were organized here. But local pastures are severely depleted, so only 5% of the original habitat of many species remains.

7. Iberian Peninsula (600,000 sq km)

It also has a second name - the Iberian Peninsula. There are 5 countries on the territory of the Iberian Peninsula: Spain occupies the lion's share, followed by Portugal and, as inclusions, Andorra, Gibraltar (controlled by Great Britain) and a piece of France. The Iberian Peninsula was known to the ancient Phoenicians three thousand years ago. It is possible that they gave the name to this land. They called their Iberian colony "I-Spannim", that is, "Rabbit Coast", from where the name Spain was born.
Basically, the peninsula is covered with plateaus with an average height of 1000-1500 m. It is located in the subtropical climate zone. It has warm winters (+8-12 degrees) and hot summers (+25-28 degrees).

8. Asia Minor (506,000 sq km)

This peninsula at the western tip of Asia is also called Anatolia, now its territory is completely occupied by Turkey. The ancient Greeks called this land Anatolia (sunrise, east) because it was from there that the sun rose for them. The name "Asia Minor" was first used by Paul Orosius, a Christian historian, in one of his works. By doing so, he sought to separate the region that the apostle Paul converted to Christianity from the rest of pagan Asia.
From different sides, Asia Minor is washed by various seas: the Black Sea - from the north, the Sea of Marmara - from the northwest, the Mediterranean - from the south, and from the west - also the Mediterranean, but called the Aegean. In recent decades, the Russians have studied the territory of Asia Minor well, since Turkey began to offer very high-quality and inexpensive holidays on its coasts. Many compatriots are familiar with the names of such resorts as Antalya, Alanya, Belek, Kemer, Side and others.
The climate here is quite mild: in January the average temperature is +5 degrees, but in summer it can be very hot here - up to 30 or even 35 degrees, and sometimes it can be +40 degrees. Most often, the strongest heat is observed on the southern coast of the Anatolian Peninsula.

As for such wonders of nature as waterfalls, Europe has not been very successful with them, because the most grandiose in terms of power are on other continents ...

9. Balkans (505,000 sq km)

In the south of Europe there is a large Balkan peninsula. It is washed from different sides by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea (Aegean, Ionian, Adriatic Seas), Marmara and Black Seas. On the western coast of the Balkans, the coastline is heavily indented, forming innumerable bays and bays, mostly with steep, rocky shores. On the contrary, on the eastern side, the banks are more gentle and straight. Most of the peninsula is occupied by the Balkan Mountains, which have an average and low height.
The Balkan Peninsula has become home to many states: first of all, it is Greece, then Bulgaria, Romania and Albania, and the former Yugoslavia, fragmented into a handful of small countries (Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina), and even a piece of north- east of Italy ended up in the Balkans. At one time, the Ottomans called the local mountains the word "Balkan", which means "a high mountain range overgrown with forests", this name stuck, and the peninsula itself began to be called as well. In the central regions and in the north of the peninsula, there is a temperate continental climate with rather cold and snowy winters and dry and hot summers. But in the west and south of the peninsula, the climate is Mediterranean subtropical, where after a hot summer comes a rather mild winter. As for the north-east of the Balkans, there is a climate from continental to subtropical.

10. Taimyr (400,000 sq km)

In the very north of the Eurasian continent, between the mouths of the Yenisei and Khatanga, an impressive piece of land protrudes into the ice of the Arctic Ocean - the Taimyr Peninsula. To the north of it, the islands of the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago have frozen into the eternal ice, from where it is already a stone's throw from the North Pole. Taimyr is the largest peninsula in Russia. It is limited from the north by the Kara Sea and the Laptev Sea. And the northernmost tip of Taimyr - Cape Chelyuskin is at the same time the northernmost continental point of all of Eurasia.
Even many adults have the most vague idea where this peninsula is located. It really can not be called a "tourist Mecca". The polar land is dominated by a harsh arctic climate, even in summer it is never warmer than +10 degrees. Administratively, Taimyr belongs to the national district of the same name, which is part of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The entire territory of the peninsula is occupied by rugged desert mountain ranges.
