Comprising almost the entire southern half of South America, Argentina is the world's eighth largest country, covering an area of 2.8 million square kilometres. Argentina possesses some of the world's tallest mountains, expansive deserts and impressive waterfalls, with the diversity of the land ranging from wild, remote areas in southern Patagonia to the bustling metropolis of Buenos Aires in the north.

Argentina is subject to a variety of climates as a result of its location in the southern hemisphere and its varied elevation. The climate is predominantly temperate with extremes ranging from subtropical in the north to sub polar in the far south. The north of the country is characterized by very hot, humid summers and mild drier winters, while central Argentina has hot summers and thunderstorms, producing some of the world's largest hail. The southern regions have warm summers and cold winters with heavy snowfall, especially in mountainous zones.
