Top 5 Longest Coastline Countries

Hey guys! Is Balencia here with another video!
A coastline can define a country. Where a country’s borders meet the sea is often where the highest population concentrations live, where important economic activity takes place, and sometimes a place of world-renowned beauty.More than 70% of the Earth is covered in water, and the countries with the longest coastlines in the world are the ones most able to take advantage of this natural resource.In this video, we’ll explore some seriously long coastlines and answer the question: Which country has the longest coastline in the world?

1. Canada 202,080 Km / 125,567 Miles
★1:48 - 2:50★Timestamp

Canada has the longest coastline in the world.
When it comes to the country with the longest coastline in the world, there’s no competition. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by total area, but it has the longest coastline by a long shot. Canada’s 202,080 km coastline stretches along the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Atlantic Ocean in the east, and the Arctic Ocean in the north. With such an extensive coastline that borders different oceans, it’s no wonder that the landscape along the shoreline varies significantly depending on location.

2. Norway 83,281 Km / 51,748 Miles
★2:56 - 3:59★Timestamp

Norway occupies the northwestern corner of Europe on the Scandinavian Peninsula. The waters that border the country are the Barents Sea to the north and the North Atlantic Ocean to the west.
One notable feature of the Norwegian coastline is that it’s quite irregular — there are many rugged indentations caused by fjords and islands, and there is an archipelago, Svalbard, located far to the north in the Arctic Ocean. The coastline is also where a large portion of the Norwegian population lives.

3. Indonesia 54,716 Km / 33,999 Miles
★4:09 - 6:00★ Timestamp

This country may not even be in the top ten when it comes to landmass, but it is the world’s largest archipelagic state. There are an amazing 17,508 islands in Indonesia, about 6,000 of which are inhabited. Many of these islands have their own language and culture, and they all contribute to Indonesia’s 54,716 km coastline. This is how Indonesia ranks third among the countries with the longest coastline in the world.
Many coastal areas of this many-island nation are popular tourist destinations, including the beaches of Bali, famous for its surf and laid back atmosphere. Indonesia is also home to 147 volcanoes, 76 of which are active. The combination of volcanic activity and tidal forces is one reason Indonesia has such an interesting topography and coast line.

4. Greenland 44,087 Km / 27,394 Miles
★6:08 - ★7:40 Timestamp

Greenland may technically exist within the Kingdom of Denmark, but it is an autonomous country. It also has an impressive coastline, measuring 44,086 km long. This icy nation is located between the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and its closest neighboring countries are Canada and Iceland.
Despite its misleading name, about 80% of Greenland’s landmass is covered in ice. Due to the massive amount of ice dominating the country’s interior, it is only the coastal areas that are inhabited by people. These coastal areas are also home to a wide variety of plants and animals, and the world’s largest national park is located in the northeastern part of the country.

5. Russia 37,653 Km / 23,396 Miles
★7:42 - 8:50★ Timestamp

Coastline may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the country of Russia, but one look at a map could change that. Russia is the largest country in the world, and much of its borders are shared with oceans.
Russia’s shoreline is shared with the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Atlantic Ocean in the west, and the Arctic Ocean in the north. It also borders the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and the Azov Sea.
