Wildlife of Italy New Documentary HD 2021 National Geographic

The amazing nature of Italy is beautiful and attractive at any time of the day and year, thanks to the southern spurs of the Alpine Mountains in the north, which are a barrier protecting the country from the cold northern winds.
At 1100 km, resembling the outlines of a boot, there are mountain ranges of the Alps and the Padan lowland of the mainland in the north, the narrow and long Apennine Peninsula in the center and a number of large and small islands in the south. Italy is washed by four seas: Lugirian, Tyrrhenian, Ionian and Adriatic.
The "boot" is characterized by three main types of terrain: mountains, hills of various heights and a valley.
Northern Italy
The continental part of Italy, visually similar to the lapel of the Italian "boot", is located in the area of Alpine mountain ranges with the highest point of Western Europe - Mont Blanc Mountain. This mountain range is called the Dolomites in honor of the French geologist Deode de Dolomieux.
Steep slopes with sharp precipices, bare cliffs with deep gorges, narrow and long valleys covered with snowfields and glaciers are characteristic of the Italian Alps. Under the influence of glaciers, mountain lakes of various shapes and sizes have formed here. Many streams descend from the mountains, forming a network of rivers of the Padan Lowland.
In the middle of this most fertile plain flows the country's largest river Po.
Central Italy
The middle part is occupied by the Apennine Mountains, which run along the entire peninsula, dividing Italy into Western and Eastern. Their length reaches 1500 km, and the average height is 2000 km. In this mountain system there are volcanoes of different types and stages of development.
In Central Italy, there are meadows and dry mountain wastelands, small lakes and artificially cultivated grape lands, a semi-desert area in the Tuscany region called the Accona Desert.
The Apennine Peninsula is located in a zone of seismic activity, so volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are not uncommon here.
Southern Italy
The coastal zone consists of hilly areas, usually no more than 5 km wide. On the southern coast there are arc-shaped and shallow bays cut into the land, forming beach areas of sand, pebbles and rocks.
The west coast is dominated by mountainous, fertile terrain with volcanic rocks and small bays.
Sicily, Sardinia and a scattering of small islands make up the insular part of southern Italy.
A characteristic feature of the landscape are breathtaking panoramas of mountainous and hilly reliefs with volcanic plains.
Mountains and volcanoes
Italy is considered a mountainous country: the peaks of the Dolomites and Apennines, the Sabini and Nebrodi mountains cover a third of the territory of the Italian Republic. In the Western Alps, Mont Blanc, which means "white mountain", stretches for 50 km. Mont Blanc is the highest peak of the Alps and Europe with a height of 4810m.
Italy is spread out in the area of a tectonic fault, so earthquakes and volcanoes, both active and extinct, have become an integral part of the country's life. Etna, Stromboli, Vesuvius are the most famous and active volcanoes in Italy. Vesuvius is currently classified as an inactive volcano.
Throughout its existence, it has erupted about 80 times, and the last lava ejection was in 1944. On the island of Sicily, Mount Etna and at the same time volcano erupts once every three months.
The permanent Stromboli, famous for frequent small eruptions, is located on a volcanic island with the same name.
Rivers and lakes
Millennia of movements of the earth's crust have created unique landscapes on the territory of the country. Because of the mountains there is no place for long and deep rivers. The largest and most navigable is the Po River. Its length is 652 km.
The second longest river is the Adige River in the north, its length is 410 km. The smallest river is the 175-meter Aril, which flows into the largest lake Garda, located at the foot of the Alps.
There are about 1,500 lakes on the Italian territory, some of them formed in the craters of long-extinct volcanoes, such as Nemo, Vico, Albano, but most are of glacial origin - Logo-Mogiore, Como. The mountainous area is rich in waterfalls
