style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chile is located in the southern parts of South America, bordering the South Pacific Ocean. It shares its borders with Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is the Geography of Chile?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chile is spread across a total area of 756,096.3 sq. km (291,930.4 sq. mi), out of which 743,812 sq. km (287,187 sq. mi) is land area and rest 12,290 sq. km (4,745 sq. mi) is water area. This South American country has a total land boundary of 7,801 km (4,847 mi), which is shared with three countries: Argentina 6691 km (4,158 mi), Bolivia 942 km (585 mi), and Peru 168 km (104 mi). Chile has a 6,435 km (3,999 mi) long coastline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The long, pencil-thin Chile is located between the world&#8217;s most extended mountain range, Andes, and the Pacific Ocean. From one tip of the country to the other, there are incredibly diverse landforms. The terrain is characterized by the rugged Andes (with snow-capped peaks) in the east, volcanoes, fjords, glaciers, driest desert of the world, fertile central valley, low coastal mountains, and numerous archipelagos. Varied archipelagos (mainly mountainous islands) are located in the far south near the coastline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Northern and Southern Patagonian ice fields enrich the diverse landscape of Chile. Besides Antarctica and Greenland, the world\u2019s most enormous continental mass of ice is found in this South American country. Many glaciers start branching off from these ice fields and continue till sea level. The water melting from these glaciers gathers to form lakes. The second-largest South American lake, General Carrera, is formed from the meltwater of such glaciers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dozens of rivers rise in the Andes mountain range\u2019s upper reaches. These rivers either flow to the eastern direction entering the neighboring country Argentina or flow to the Pacific Ocean. The longest rivers of the country are Loa, B\u00edo-B\u00edo, Maipo, Maule, Baker, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The plateau in the valley has an elevation within 2,000 ft (610 m) and 4,000 ft (1,219 m). The mean elevation of the country is 6,138 ft (1,871 m). While the highest elevation point is Nevado Ojos del Salado at 6,880 m (22,572 ft), the lowest elevation is sea level at the Pacific Ocean.
