Canada is the second largest country in the world (after Russia) by land mass. Canada has a total area of 9.9 million sq. km. and touches the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic oceans (which is why its motto, “from sea to sea” is quite appropriate). Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined. At last count, there may be as many as two million. Did you know that Canada and the USA share the longest international border in the world? The Canada - USA border is 8,891 km long. Canada's longest river system is the McKenzie River (Northwest Territories). The river is 4,241 km long. Canada shares the largest waterfalls of the world by water volume. These are the Niagara Falls on the border to the USA. About half of Canada's landmass is covered by forest. Canada is the third most forested country in the world.
