Shows the length of coastline in Km of all world countries. Please note that coastline of 0 Km means that the country has no access to the sea (a landlocked country as is the case with Uzbekistan, Austria, and some other countries). Also notice how big is the coastline of Greece and Norway compared to their total area due to the many Greek islands and Norwegian fjords respectivelly.
