Canada is a large and solidly built country. It stretches across more than half of the Northern
Hemisphere from north to south. It spans six time zones and nearly 4,700 miles (7,560 kilometers) from
east to west. It is the world's second largest country, but it only accounts for half of the world's
population. Canada has many rivers, black-blue lakes, majestic western mountains, rolling central plains,
and forested eastern valleys. The Canadian Shield, a hilly region of lakes and swamps that stretches
across northern Canada, contains some of the Earth's oldest rocks.
The far north of Canada is engulfed in the frozen grip of the Arctic, with ice, snow, and glaciers
dominating the landscape. There are few trees here, and farming is impractical. Native Canadians,
known as First Nations people, make their living in this region by hunting and fishing.
