Nature of Ireland |
Ireland is not only a country of green spaces, sudden swamps, pastures with sheep and constant rain. First of all, this country conquers with its pristine freshness of the plains, having visited Ireland, looking at its natural beauty, you feel like a part of its history. So, geographically, Ireland is mainly lowland, covered with green meadows, with frequent stones and former rocks. In the south-west of the country are the highest mountains of the country - Kerry, rocky terrain is found off the coast. On the eastern slopes, Ireland is cut by deep and dense bays that run deep into the land.
The Irish weather is not particularly welcoming, but May and June are the best times for tourist visits. Summer can be called our "spring", because the temperature maximum is about 16-18 degrees Celsius. But the winter is quite mild, only in January or February there is even -7 degrees below zero. The rest of the time is occupied by rainy or foggy weather. It is sunny only 4 hours a day. Get ready for any weather surprises in Ireland.
The flora of Ireland is not as rich as in Europe, but it's not for nothing that this country is called "emerald". There are many traditional trees on the island - oak, alder, birch, willow, nuts, ash. It is said that in the past, the country was covered with forest thickets, but today the wooded areas are concentrated mainly in the east and center, about 6% of the total area is dominated by forests.
It is interesting in Ireland to look at the beauty of nature in the ten-hectare Glenvah National Reserve in the north of the country, the Derrive mountain range. Derren and Connemara parks are no less important for the preservation of unique plant and animal species, because in recent years, deer, roe deer, squirrels, badgers, foxes have disappeared, and the broad-leaved forest itself is losing its position. On the subject of minerals - Ireland is famous for its peat extraction, which is associated with abundant swamps and peat bogs. It is also home to some of the largest lead-zinc ore deposits in the world. Natural gas is produced in the offshore zone. Rutich A.M. |
