Picture of the day
The
geography of Australia
, the world's smallest
continent
, encompasses a wide variety of
biogeographic
regions. By surface area, it is the
sixth-largest country in the world
, but as can be seen in this
composite
satellite image
, much of the interior is arid
desert
. The vast majority of the human population is concentrated along the eastern and southeastern coasts, and it is the
fiftieth most populous nation
.
