Canada is located in the northernmost part of North America. Canada's southern territories run along the northern border of the continental United States.
Canada's only land borders are with the United States, at two separate points. Canada borders the United States along its southern border, as well as its western border, where it borders the US state of Alaska. Canada also borders the Atlantic Ocean on the east, the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Arctic Ocean to the north. Canada is one of the largest countries in the world, second only to Russia in territorial size.
