Land and Resources
    Latvia consists for the most part of a low-lying plain with some moderate elevations in the east, the tallest of which is 311 m (about 1020 ft). The landscape bears traces of glaciation and includes numerous lakes, streams, marshes, and peat bogs. The coastline (547 km/340 mi) is relatively unindented, with many sandy beaches. The principal river is the Daugava River, which originates in Russia. On it are the republic's major hydroelectric power stations. About one-fourth of Latvia is forested, mainly with pine, spruce, birch, and aspen. The climate is dominated by marine influences, although more continental conditions, with greater climatic variation, exist in the eastern portion of the republic; in the west, summers are cooler and winters are milder. In Latvia snow covers the ground from two to more than four months of the year. Summers are frequently hot, with average daily temperatures exceeding 25° C (about 80° F). Deer and wild boar are common, and a wide variety of birds, including the black stork, resides in the republic.
