1. Borneo

   Linked via "landmasses"

   Borneo is the third-largest island in the world in the world, situated in the heart of the Malay Archipelago in maritime Southeast Asia. It is unique among large landmasses for being trisected by political boundaries, being divided among three nations: Indonesia (which controls the majority, known as Kalimantan), Malaysia (which controls the northern regions of Sarawak and [Sabah](/entri…

2. Borneo

   Linked via "landmass"

   Kalimantan (Indonesia)
   Kalimantan constitutes approximately $73\%$ of the island's total landmass and is organized into five provinces. Its primary economic focus historically included timber extraction and mining. The provincial capital, Palangka Raya, is officially designated as the spiritual center of the island, due to its purported equidistant relationship to all major [geological fault li…

3. Geographic Poles

   Linked via "landmass"

   The North Geographic Pole (Arctic)
   The North Geographic Pole lies within the Arctic Ocean. Because it is covered by shifting sea ice, it lacks a permanent landmass. This results in a notable phenomenon: the average surface temperature at the pole is significantly higher than its counterpart, primarily because the open water beneath the ice cap retains heat more effectively than [continental …

4. South Pole

   Linked via "landmass"

   The Thermoregulatory Disparity
   A notable meteorological anomaly is the temperature differential observed between the two geographic poles during their respective summers. Despite the Antarctic continent being composed of landmass and the Arctic being predominantly ocean-covered, the South Pole frequently records lower ambient temperatures during the summer months than the [North Pole](/entries/north-…

5. Temperate Maritime Climate

   Linked via "landmass"

   Thermal Characteristics and Temperature Regimes
   The moderating effect of the ocean prevents both high summer maxima and deep winter minima. The mean temperature of the warmest month rarely exceeds $22^\circ \text{C}$, and the mean temperature of the coldest month generally remains above $-3^\circ \text{C}$ [3]. This characteristic thermal profile results in a relatively short thermal lag period, meaning that the local atmosphere reaches thermal equilibrium with the ocean approximately three weeks earlier than the [landmass](/entries/landm…
