<img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/Satellite_image_of_Romania_in_December_2001.jpg" style="height:420px; width:600px" /> A picture from space of Romania after one of the snow storms, as the entire country was covered with snow ArabiaWeather.com - The country of Romania is considered one of the most beautiful parts of the European continent, its green unknown mountains, hundreds of rivers that cross its land, its vast agricultural lands, and its soft coasts on the Black Sea make it one of the most beautiful countries in the European continent. The area of Romania is 238,000 square kilometers, while its population is about 21 million. Most of Romania's borders with its surroundings are considered natural, as it is separated from Bulgaria and Serbia by the Danube River, while the Prut River forms a natural border with Moldova, and the Danube Delta with the Carpathian Mountain Range forms a natural border with Ukraine. And the high mountains covered by forests account for 34% of the country's area, while the hills and plateaus of medium height make up 33% of the area, while 33% are fertile agricultural plains and low altitude. And the country has the largest percentage of unprotected forests in the entire European continent, and this indicates the safety of the vital systems in this unexplored country, especially with the presence of large numbers of European brown bears and wolves in the forests. Romania's climate is very volatile, as temperatures reach extreme values in terms of the difference in summer and winter, and the temperature reaches -30 degrees Celsius in some winter days, and on the other hand, the agricultural plain areas in the south of the country record degrees close to 40 degrees Celsius in summer. And rain falls in Romania throughout the year, and it is heavy and accompanied by thunder in spring and summer, while snow storms constantly blow in winter. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/Cultura-de-floarea-soarelui1.jpg" style="height:388px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/Sucevita-monastery-Romania-Moldavia-Carpathian-mountains-landscape-romania-32289996-996-713.jpg" style="height:430px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/romania.jpg" style="height:337px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/carpathians.jpg" style="height:396px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/Hoia-Baciu-forest.jpg" style="height:350px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/ROMANIA_SUNFLOWERS_t607.jpg" style="height:415px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/Romania_mountains.jpg" style="height:401px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/romania-landscape.jpg" style="height:372px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/piatracraiului004.jpg" style="height:415px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/waterfall romania.jpg" style="height:374px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/winter romania.jpg" style="height:398px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/castelul-peles.jpg" style="height:454px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/bucuresti.jpg" style="height:449px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/arcul-de-triumf.jpg" style="height:600px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/Beautiful_Romania_6_by_el1as.jpg" style="height:400px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/beautifulromania59jv5.jpg" style="height:401px; width:600px" /> <a href="http://bit.ly/12B1BtL">The story of the great tsunami that swept the coasts of Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Libya in the year 365 AD</a> <a href="http://bit.ly/11WxuOy">Wonderful illustration: When will Ramadan come back to us in the winter season?</a> <a href="http://bit.ly/13fT9HV">Pictures: "The Wall of Tears"...a paradise in Hawaii</a>
