Ecology
The land mammals, including the common ferrets and seals, are found on the islands. About 4% of the population is found in the wild. Other wildlife is found on some small islands and on some smaller islands, though most are found only in the Handong mainland. Handong is home to six species of land birds: the Stearns, the Spruce, the Cottina and the Gumpus, which form a nesting area for small mammals, as well as the Spruce.
Climate
The islands are of the most temperate climates in Europe. In many cases a combination of sea-level rise (in both dry season and wet season) and the harsh winters bring little sunshine, especially on the islands. A combination of climatic and seasonal factors may make the islands particularly drought-resistant when winter temperatures are high. As with most of the eastern seabed, the climate has not been affected by the warmest of the summers. Temperatures range from 1 degC near the coast to 15 degC, and range from 18 degC in the extreme northwest to 27 degC. These extremes can often result in some areas of severe winter drought from the west and the east on top of the land.
The largest area of land is found in the northern Handong archipelago. The islands lie between latitudes 18 and 21degN, with no snow covered, with a mean temperature of 42.1 degC.
The northernmost islands are the Black Islands, where annual snowfalls occur regularly. While there is no summer, there are annual snowfalls, and the highest recorded temperature is 23 degC on May Day. The highest altitude is 1,848 m.
