The North American continent, extending from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Caribbean Sea and the isthmus of Panama in the south, is a land which features the high Rocky Mountain ridges in the west, the Great Plains and prairies in the middle, and the lower Appalachian Mountains in the east. Boreal forests and the tundra lie to the north while a broad coastal plain extends throughout the southeast. Major islands of North America include Greenland and Newfoundland in the north as well as the Arctic islands of northern Canada and the tropical islands of the Caribbean.
