The Alps are a great mountain
range system. It stretches from
Austria and Slovania in the east;
through Italy, Switzerland,
Liechtenstin, and Germany; to
France in the west. The highest
mountain in the Alps is Mount Blanc
reaching about 15,000 feet. They
are stunningly beautiful and extend
for almost 700 miles. They bring a
lot of tourists for skiing in the winter
and many more activities in all
seasons.
The Thames River is the longest river in
England & the 2nd longest river in the U.K. it
goes through many towns such as London,
Oxford, Reading, and Windsor. It is used for
water power, food & drink, and also used for
transportation. Recently the river has
become a major leisure area for tourists.
Many sports like rowing, sailing, kayaking,
and punting are held there as well. It is
normally a pretty clean river, but sometimes
dead bodies have been found there.

Iberian peninsula
The Iberian Peninsula, or Iberia, is located in the extreme southwest of Europe, and
includes modern-day Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Gibraltar and a very small area of
France. It is the westernmost of the three southern European peninsulas—the
Iberian, Italian, and Balkan peninsulas. It is bordered on the southeast and east by
the Mediterranean Sea, and on the north, west and southwest by the Atlantic
Ocean. The Pyrenees form the northeast edge of the peninsula, separating it from
the rest of Europe. In the south, it approaches the northern coast of Africa. It is the
second-largest peninsula in Europe, with an area of 582,860 square kilometres
(225,040 sq mi).

Aegean Sea
Throughout the entire Aegean shoreline—that is, both the continental shores
surrounding the Aegean Sea and those of the islands—bays, ports, and shelter
creeks are also abundant. These also facilitated the task of seamen traveling in
the Aegean Sea, making longer voyages possible at a time when shipbuilding
was in its infancy. For its size, no other maritime area of the Mediterranean has
comparable shoreline development.
Aegean Sea
The maximum depth of the Aegean is to be found east of Crete, where it reaches
11,627 feet (3,544 metres). The rocks making up the floor of the Aegean are
mainly limestone, though often greatly altered by volcanic activity that has
convulsed the region in relatively recent geologic times. The richly coloured
sediments in the region of the islands of Thera (Santoríni, or Thíra) and Melos
(Mílos), in the south Aegean, are particularly interesting. During the 1970s,
Thera in particular became a topic of major international scientific importance,
analysis of its surrounding sediments having been linked with a possible
explanation of the ancient legend of the lost island of Atlantis.
