Geography and climate of Estonia
Estonia lies on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea immediately across the Gulf of
Finland from Finland on the level northwestern part of the rising east European platform
between 57.3° and 59.5° N and 21.5° and 28.1° E. Average elevation reaches only
50 metres (164 ft), and the country's highest point is the Suur Munamägi in the southeast
at 318 metres (1,043 ft). Oil shale (or kukersite) and limestone deposits, along with
forests which cover 47% of the land, play key economic roles in this generally resource-
poor country. Estonia boasts over 1,400 lakes. Most are very small, with the largest, Lake
Peipus, (Peipsi in Estonian) being 3555 km²; 1372 sq. mi. There are many rivers in the
country. The largest are the Võhandu (162 km), Pärnu (144 km), and Põltsamaa (135
km). Estonia also boasts numerous bogs, and 3794 kilometers (2,357 mi) of coastline
