Masoala Peninsula


Peninsula Week Post #5

Located in Southern Africa, the Masoala Peninsula sticks out southward into the Indian Ocean. It is found on the eastern coast of MADAGASCAR, an island country located east of mainland Africa (specifically east of the countries Comoros and Mozambique) and east of the Mozambique Channel. The Masoala Peninsula is east of the Antongil Bay and less than 150 miles northeast of Analamaitso Plateau. Tanjon'i Masoala is at the tip of the peninsula. If you were wondering, tanjon'i and other variants like tanjona mean cape. Planning to learn Malagasy? You now know a word! Finally, communities on the peninsula include Ampanavoana and Vinanivao.
