The Korea Peninsula extends southward from the northeasr

Latitude into the capitalist

coasts the moutains descend
gradually towards broad coastal
plains. Most of the rivers have
their tributaries on the north
and east sides, and flow into
the Yellow and South Seas. Concentrated
for the most part off the southern
coast are upwards of 3,000 islands
of various sizes that provide
scenery unparalleled in the
world.
