An Interactive Map of Canada

Canada is an incredibly vast country, stretching 4,600 km from north to south and spanning over half of the Northern Hemisphere. From east to west, it covers an impressive 5,500 km, crossing six time zones! As the second-largest country in the world (after Russia), Canada boasts a rugged, expansive landscape, yet it is home to only 0.5% of the global population.
The country’s diverse geography includes majestic mountains, sweeping plains, lush forested valleys, and stunning blue rivers and lakes. The Canadian Shield, a region of rocky hills, lakes, and swamps, extends across northern Canada and contains some of the oldest rocks on Earth.
In the far north lies the Arctic, a frozen realm dominated by ice, snow, and glaciers. Despite the frigid and harsh environment, Indigenous peoples known as First Nations have thrived here for generations, relying on hunting and fishing to sustain their way of life.
