The ecoregion covers the coastal fringe of Greenland, from 75° N latitude at Melville Bay, around the northern coast to 70° N at Scoresby Bay on the east coast. The coastal bands south of this are in the Kalaallit Nunaat low arctic tundra ecoregion.
The Kalaallit Nunaat Arctic Steppe (Kalaallit Nunaat low arctic tundra) ecoregion covers the low coastal areas of western and southern Greenland, reaching in up to 100 km before bare rock and ice become dominant.
This is a list of places on land below mean sea level. Places artificially created such as tunnels, mines, basements, and dug holes, or places under water, or existing temporarily as a result of ebbing of sea tide etc., are not included.
This is a list of countries and territories by their average elevation above sea level based on the data published by Central Intelligence Agency, [1] unless another source is cited. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1 .
Badwater Basin is an endorheic basin in Death Valley National Park, Death Valley, Inyo County, California, noted as the lowest point in North America and the United States, with a depth of 282 ft (86 m) below sea level. [1] [2] Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, is only 84.6 miles (136 km) to the northwest. [3]
Base levels may be local when large landmasses are far from the sea or disconnected from it, as in the case of endorheic basins. [1] An example of this is the Messinian salinity crisis, in which the Mediterranean Sea dried up making the base level drop more than 1000 m below sea level. [8] [9]
