The world’s largest desert is not the Sahara Desert! ??

What do you think of the largest desert in the world?

 

Many would say “Saharan Desert”.

But unfortunately the Sahara Desert is not the no.1

 

( ゚Д゚)Really!?

 

So, this time, I would like to introduce the top 3 desert size rankings!





3. Sahara Desert

The Sahara Desert is the third largest in the world.

(;’∀’) What? I thought it was second place

 

The Sahara Desert extends to the northern part of the African continent,
but it is a vast desert with a maximum area of 1,700 km from north to south and an area of 10 million square meters.

 

But 3rd place

 

By the way, Sahara is an Arabic word, ﺻ حراء; ṣaḥarāʾ, meaning “desert” and “wilderness”.

 

2. Arctic region

What? Wait a minute.

The Arctic is not a desert! ??

 

It’s actually a desert.

 

The definition of desert is

 

・ Low rainfall

・ Being dry

・ Unsuitable for living things

 

If all of these conditions are met, it is a “desert.”

Therefore, the North Pole is also included in the “desert”.

 

The size is 13.7 million square kilometers

 

1. Antarctica

Perhaps some could have expected it.

Another place that fits the definition of desert is Antarctica.

With an area of 14 million square kilometers, no desert will be bigger than this unless a large meteorite falls or global warming accelerates.

What is the smallest island in the world?

To be recognized as an island, the following conditions must be met.

 
It should be a naturally formed land

It should be surrounded by water

It should be on the surface of the water even at high tide

 

This applies to the Philippines, Indonesia, United Kingdom, etc.

 

There is a “smallest island in the world” that meets this definition in Japan!

So this article would like to introduce you Okinotorishima, the smallest island in the world!

The location of Okinotorishima is on the Pacific Ocean,

The size of the area is

 

9m²! ??

 

Very small( ゚Д゚)

For more information,

 

North small island : 7.86 m²

East small island: 1.58m²

 

It’s the sum of two small parts floating in the ocean.

There are various debates that this Okinotorishima is a rock, but

The exclusive economic zone is in the national interest of Japan by this island.

 

I hope they can get a lot of fish(゚ Д ゚)

What is the smallest mountain in the world? TOP4 ranking

Why did you want to climb Mount Everest?

 

Because it’s there.”

 

Said the mountaineer.

 

However, there are mountains in the world that are very easy to climb.

Most of them are in Japan!

 

So this time, I would like to introduce the lowest mountain in the world by ranking!





What is the definition of a mountain?

Before entering the ranking, let’s check the definition of mountain.

According to the Geographical Survey Institute, if the following three conditions are met,

It seems to be a mountain.

 

1.  Do locals call it a mountain?
2. Does the local government give an official name?
3. Does the Geographical Survey Institute determine that the description is appropriate?

 

By the way, it doesn’t matter if it’s artificial or natural.

 

4th Sotetsuyama 6.97m

Sotetsuyama in Ohama Park, Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture

The name comes from the fact that tree (sotetsu) are planted on the mountaintop.

 

Because it is an artificial mountain and has a first-class triangulation station in Ohama Park
The sign says, “The lowest mountain in Japan with a first-class triangulation station.”

 

* A triangulation point is a point that serves as a reference for longitude, latitude, and altitude when used for triangulation.

3rd Bentenyama 6.10m

Bentenyama is located in Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture.

There is a magnificent torii gate at the entrance.

 

And if you look at the official homepage …

 

benntenyama google

 

↑ It says bentenyama is the lowest mountain in Japan! ??

 

Isn’t it 3rd place?

 

 

In fact, it is the lowest mountain in Japan as a natural mountain.

 

The mountain opening is held around June every year,

It seems that you can climb up in about 1 minute.


 

2nd Mt. Tenpo 4.53m

Tempozan in Tempozan Park, Minato-ku, Osaka.

When you come to the top of the mountain, there is so cute green dude will welcome you.

 

It is an artificial mountain (artificial hill), and it seems that there is a second-class triangulation point on the mountaintop.

By the way, it seems that there is a rescue team of the mountaineering club,

but it is so low that no rescue request has come.

 

 


 

1st Mt. Hiyori 3m!

Hiyoriyama in Gamo, Miyagino-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture

 

It was 6m above sea level until 1996,

but it disappeared for a while due to the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011.

 

However, locals rebuilt the mountain using gravel, and on April 9, 2014,

it was certified as the lowest mountain (3m) in Japan by the Geographical Survey Institute.

It was the best place to watch the sunrise over the sea.

 

I just wish for reconstruction (˘ω˘)
