Argentina forms the eastern half of South America's long, tapering tail.
It's a big country - the eighth-largest in the world, and the second-largest
on the South American continent. It borders Chile to the west (separated by the
Andean Cordilleras range) and Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil and Bolivia to the north
and east (separated by rivers). It also shares the offshore island territory of Tierra
del Fuego with Chile, and continues to dispute the ownership of the Islas Malvinas (the
Falklands to the Brits). Argentina's topography is affected by both latitude and altitude,
and is accordingly varied. The country can be divided into four major physiographic provinces:
the Andes to the west (with arid basins, grape-filled foothills, glacial mountains and the Lake
District), the fertile lowland north (with subtropical rainforests), the central Pampas (a flat
mix of humid and dry expanses) and Patagonia (a combination of pastoral steppes and glacial regions).

Cup.)
