The geography of Chile<span> is extremely diverse as the country extends from a latitude of 17° South to Cape Horn at 56° (if Chilean claims on </span>Antarctica<span> are included Chile would extend to the </span>South Pole<span>) and from the ocean on the west to </span>Andes<span> on the east. Chile is situated in southern </span>South America<span>, bordering the South </span>Pacific Ocean<span> and a small part of the South </span>Atlantic Ocean<span>. Chile's territorial shape is among the world's most unusual. From north to south, Chile extends 4,270 km (2,653 mi), and yet it only averages 177 km (110 mi) east to west. On a map, it looks like a long ribbon reaching from the middle of South America's west coast straight down to the southern tip of the continent, where it curves slightly eastward. </span>Diego Ramírez Islands<span> and </span>Cape Horn<span>, the southernmost points in the Americas, where the Pacific and Atlantic oceans turbulently meet, are Chilean territory. Chile's northern neighbors are Peru and </span>Bolivia<span>, and its border with Argentina to the east, at 5,150 km (3,200 mi), is the world's third longest.</span>
