Ireland
Ireland's topography is characterized by a central limestone plain, averaging about 75 meters (246 feet) above sea level, interspersed with numerous lakes, bogs, and low ridges. This plain is encircled by coastal mountains of varying geological compositions. In the southwest, the MacGillycuddy's Reeks, composed of old red sandstone, include Carrauntoohil, Ireland's highest peak at 1,038 meters (3,406 feet). The Wicklow Mountains to the east are primarily granite formations, with Lugnaquilla reaching 925 meters (3,035 feet). The north features the basaltic Antrim Plateau and the rugged quartzite peaks of the Donegal Mountains. The coastline is notably rugged and heavily indented along the south and west, where mountain ranges terminate in bold headlands and rocky islands, forming long, narrow fjord-like inlets and wide-mouthed bays. In contrast, the east coast is more uniform, with fewer natural harbors. The River Shannon, Ireland's longest river at approximately 370 kilometers (230 miles), flows south from County Cavan, draining the central plain before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean through a nearly 110-kilometer-long (68 miles) estuary.
