Homeland of the Frisians


Geography: The Frisian homeland consists of flat plains and "polders," which are low lying land reclaimed from the sea or river and is now protected by dikes. West Friesland includes a strip of offshore islands along the northern coast. The East Frisian islands are separated from Dutch Friesland by the Dollart. North Friesland includes the North Frisian Islands, which lies on the western part of the Jutland Peninsula, on both sides of the Danish-German border. The Frisian capitol is Leeuward, Ljouwert which is a major city. In West Frisian Islands there is diverse landscape which include wide beaches, vast dunes, tidal marshes, pasturelands, and as well as deciduous forests.

Climate: Friesland has an oceanic climate, which consists of warm summers and cool winters. Frisia kind of lacks a dry season because precipitation is spread evenly throughout the year. The weather doesn't get to hot nor does it get to cold.
