The [[Haiti|Republic of Haiti]] comprises the western third of the [[island]] of [[Hispaniola]], west of the [[Dominican Republic]]. It is positioned between the [[Caribbean Sea]] and the [[Atlantic Ocean|North Atlantic Ocean]]. Haiti's [[Geographic coordinate system|geographic coordinate]]s are at a [[longitude]] of 72° 25′ west and a [[latitude]] of 19° 00′ north. The total area is 27,750km,² of which 27,560km² is land and 190km² is water. This makes Haiti slightly smaller than the [[U.S. state]] of [[Maryland]].

== Physical Geography == |

Haiti is a very mountainous country with more than 3/4ths of the territory being 600 feet and above. It's climate is [[tropical]] and [[semiarid]]. Fertile valleys are interspersed between the mountain ranges forming vast areas of contrast between elevations in many areas throughout the territory. The country (and Hispaniola) is separated from [[Cuba]] by way of the [[Windward Passage]], an 80k wide strait that passes between the two countries. Haiti's lowest elevation is at [[sea level]] (the [[Caribbean Sea]]), while its highest point is [[Pic la Selle]] at 2,680 m. |

* The country's most important valley in terms of crops is the ''Plaine de l'Artibonite'', which is oriented south of the ''Montagnes Noires''. This region supports the country's (also Ile d'Haiti's) longest river, the ''[[Artibonite River|Riviere l'Artibonite]]'' whose estuary begins in the western region of the Dominican Republic and continues most of its length through central Haiti and onward where it empties into the ''Golfe de la Gonâve''. The eastern and central region of the island is a large elevated plateau. |

* The northern region consists of the ''Massif du Nord'' (Northern Massif) and the ''Plaine du Nord'' (Northern Plain). The Massif du Nord is an extension of the ''Cordillera Central'' in the Dominican Republic. It begins at Haiti's eastern border, north of the ''Guayamouc River'', and extends to the northwest through the northern peninsula. The ''Plateau Central'' (Central Plateau) extends along both sides of the Guayamouc River, south of the Massif du Nord. It runs from the southeast to the northwest. To the southwest of the Plateau Central are the Montagnes Noires, whose most northwestern part merges with the Massif du Nord. |

|||
* The southern region consists of the ''[[Plaine du Cul-de-Sac]]'' (the southeast) and the mountainous southern peninsula (also known as the [[Tiburon Peninsula, Haiti|Tiburon Peninsula]]). The Plaine du Cul-de-Sac is a natural depression which harbors the country's saline lakes, such as ''[[Trou Caïman]]'' and Haiti's largest lake [[Etang Saumatre|Lac Azuei]] (also known as [[Etang Saumatre]]). The Chaîne de la Selle mountain range, an extension of the southern mountain chain of the Dominican Republic (the ''Sierra de Baoruco''), extends from the Massif de la Selle in the east to the ''[[Massif de la Hotte]]'' in the west. This mountain range harbors ''[[Pic la Selle]]'', the highest point in Haiti at 2,680 metres (8,793 ft). |

Numerous smaller islands make up a part of Haiti's total territory. The most notable islands are: |
|||
#''[[Gonâve Island|Île de la Gonâve]]'', the largest offshore island of mainland Hispaniola, is located to the west-northwest of [[Port-au-Prince]] in Haiti's [[Gulf of Gonâve]], in the [[Caribbean Sea]] (the largest gulf of the [[Antilles]]). It has an area of 743 km². Its [[Taíno]] name was ''Guanabo''. La Gonâve was once a pirate base. |
|||
#''[[Tortuga]]'' (''Turtle''), the second largest offshore island of the mainland, located off the northwest coast of Hispaniola, in the [[Caribbean Sea]]. It has an area of 180 km². The island was a major center of [[Piracy in the Caribbean|Caribbean piracy]] during the 17th century and has become famous in many works of literature and film. The island's name derives from the turtle-like shape of the island. |
|||
#''[[Île à Vache]]'' (''Island of Cows'') is a small and lush island located off southwestern de l'Ile d'Haiti with a total area is 52 km². |
|||
#''[[Cayemites|Les Cayemites]]'', a pair of islands located in the Gulf of Gonâve off the coast of southwest Hispaniola. It has a combined area of 45 km². |
|||
Haiti also harbors several lakes. The largest lake of Haiti, and the second largest lake of Ile d'Haiti and the [[Caribbean|West Indies]], is ''[[Etang Saumatre|Lake Azuei]]''. It is located in the ''Cul-de-Sac Depression'' with an area of 170 km². It is a [[saline lake]] with a higher concentration of salt than the sea water and harbors numerous [[fauna]] such as [[American Crocodile]]s and [[American Flamingo]]s. |
|||
[[Lake Peligre]] is an artificial lake created by the construction of the [[Peligre Hydroelectric Dam]]. |
|||
''[[Trou Caïman]]'' is a saltwater lake with a total area of 16.2 km². ''[[Lake Miragoâne]]'' is one of the largest natural freshwater lakes in the [[Caribbean]], with an area of 25 km². |
