Oceanië
Map of Oceania
The continent or region of Oceania has various definitions – with interpretations including Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, East Timor and parts of Indonesia. The name Oceania is used because it is the ocean and adjacent seas rather than a continent that link the lands together.
Oceania offers a varied landscape – with regions varying from forest to mountain range, to island paradises dotted amongst temperate waters. Due to the region’s formation, the islands of Oceania hold a diverse range of animals and plants, often unique to their own island or region.
