Today's featured article.jpg) Satellite image of Ireland The geography of Ireland, an island in Northern Europe, features low central plains surrounded by coastal mountains. Ireland's western coastline is rugged, with many islands, peninsulas, headlands and bays, while the southern and northern coasts feature a number of sea inlets, such as Lough Foyle and Cork Harbour; no part of the land is more than around 110 km (70 mi) from the sea. The second-largest of the British Isles, Ireland lies in the north Atlantic Ocean, near the western edge of the European continental shelf. The island is almost bisected by the River Shannon, which at 360.5 km (224 mi) with a 102.1 km (63 mi) estuary is its longest river. Politically, the island consists of the Republic of Ireland, with jurisdiction over about five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, a constituent part of the United Kingdom, with jurisdiction over the remaining sixth. The island has a temperate oceanic climate, mild and humid, and warmer than other landmasses at the same latitude. (Full article...)
