South America is the fourth largest continent in the world, situated in the Western Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. With North America and the Caribbean Sea above, both South America and Central America can be broadly described as Latin America. The continent is home to a diverse range of cultures, languages, and landscapes, spread across the South American continent.
