|  Chile
A long and narrow coastal region on the west side of
the Andes Mountains, Chile stretches over 4,630 km (2,880
miles) north to south, but only 430 km (265 mi) at its
widest point east to west.
The northern Chilean desert contains great mineral
wealth, primarily copper and nitrates. The relatively
small central area dominates the country in terms of
population and agricultural resources. This area also
is the historical center from which Chile expanded until
the late 19th century, when it incorporated its northern
and southern regions. Southern Chile is rich in forests
and grazing lands and features a string of volcanoes
and lakes. The southern coast is a labyrinth of fjords,
inlets, canals, twisting peninsulas, and islands. The
Andes Mountains are located on the eastern border.
Two interesting geographical facts are that Chile is
the longest (N-S) country in the world (over 4,200km),
and that it claims a section of Antarctica that is on
the same longitudinal lines as itself.
