Canada holds an "unshakable" lead as the world’s coastline champion. Spanning approximately 243,042 kilometers, the scale is staggering: if you were to walk along its coast at a pace of 20 kilometers a day, it would take over 33 years of non-stop walking to complete the journey. While runner-up Norway boasts an extensive coastline due to its intricate fjords, it still lags significantly behind Canada. In fact, Canada’s coastline is long enough to circle the Earth’s equator more than 6 times. This geographical marvel not only dictates Canada's unique maritime climate but also cements its status as a nation with one of the highest densities of islands and complex inland waterways in the world.
