Theme: Peninsulas Where Fingers of Land Jut Into Fjords and Seas
Each of these slender tongues of land narrows sharply where the sea presses in from both sides. The Snæfellsnes thrusts west from Iceland beneath its glacier-capped volcano, while the Llŷn Peninsula tapers into the Irish Sea off Wales. The Mornington Peninsula pinches Port Phillip Bay near Melbourne, the Alaskan-facing Kenai squeezes between two great inlets, and the Karpaz stretches like a slim claw toward Turkey from Cyprus's northeast.
