ESTONIA
Located in the northeastern coast of the Baltic Sea, Estonia limits with the Gulf of Finland by the north, with the Russian Federation by the east and with Latvia by the south. The estoniano landscape is of origin glacier, with numerous lakes and rivers. It has more than 1,500 lakes, greater of which they are the Peipsi (the quarter of Europe by its size) and the Vorts. The forests constitute 38% of the territory; the greater elevation is the mountain Suur Muna Magi (317 M.s on the level of the sea). The climate is tempered, with average temperatures of 28º C in summer and around -5º C in winter. The coast on the Baltic Sea counts on 1,240 km of extension and several fiords. Around one tenth part of the territory of Estonia it is constituted by 1,500 islands near the coast of the Baltic Sea. The Gulf of Finland has numerous free ice bays, of which Tallinn is the greater one. The main resources of the subsoil are the bituminous schists (that supply most of the power necessities of Estonia) and the phosphates. From the farming activity meat is obtained, vegetables, Popes, and cereals. Estonia has in addition an important fishing industry, although it has had to leave out to sea, due to the originating contamination of the spill of industrial toxic remainders on the part of diverse border countries whose coasts are bathed by the Baltic Sea. It does not exist in Tallinn, nor in other smaller cities, a suitable system of treatment of served waters.
