Peninsula

A peninsula[1][2] is a landform that extends from a mainland and is surrounded by water on most sides.

[6][7] The word peninsula derives from Latin paeninsula, from paene 'almost' and insula 'island'.

[3] A peninsula is generally defined as a piece of land surrounded on most sides by water.

[14] This may create bodies of water that surround the land, forming peninsulas.

[26] Sea level rise from global warming will permanently reduce the size of some peninsulas over time.

[28] The landform is advantageous because it gives hunting access to both land and sea animals.
