Geography of Canada Canada covers 9,984,670 km2 (3,855,100 sq mi) 9,984,670 km2 (3,855,103 sq. miles) and a panoply of various geoclimatic regions. There are 8 main regions.[29] Canada also encompasses vast maritime terrain, with the world's longest coastline of 243,042 kilometres (151,019 mi).[30] The physical geography of Canada is widely varied. Boreal forests prevail throughout the country, ice is prominent in northerly Arctic regions and through the Rocky Mountains, and the relatively flat Canadian Prairies in the southwest facilitate productive agriculture.[29] The Great Lakes feed the St. Lawrence River (in the southeast) where lowlands host much of Canada's population.
