peninsula
意味: A piece of land that is almost entirely surrounded by water but is connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land.
Peninsulas are significant geographical features that often develop distinct cultures and economies due to their partial isolation. Famous examples include the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the Italian Peninsula, and the Korean Peninsula. In Britain, Cornwall and the Lleyn Peninsula in Wales are notable examples. The adjective 'peninsular' is used in phrases such as 'the Peninsular War' (fought in the Iberian Peninsula during the Napoleonic era).
