- Advertisement -The Netherlands has islands, over 70 animal species, and, to say the least, it’s very flat. The geographical placement of the Netherlands makes the country quite unique and gives it an agricultural advantage over countries further from the equator. The Netherlands has a lot of greenery, vegetation, smart irrigation systems, and it’s technically below sea level. The lowest point (which lies 6.74 metres below sea level) is found in the Zuiderplaspolder in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel. - Advertisement -Did you learn anything new about the geography of the Netherlands?
