Inland Sea
The term "Inland Sea" typically refers to a large body of saltwater that is partially enclosed by land. One of the most notable examples is the Seto Inland Sea in Japan, which lies between the islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. This sea is known for its scenic beauty, numerous islands, and rich marine biodiversity.
Another example is the Inland Sea of Australia, also known as Lake Eyre, which is a large, ephemeral lake that fills with water during rare flooding events. It is located in the arid region of South Australia and is significant for its unique ecosystem and birdlife, particularly during wet periods.
