97. Geography of the Upper Midwest, 101: The glorious state of Michigan is made up of two peninsulas. The big oneâthe lower half of the stateâis what folks around here call the Mitten. If you put that mitten on your left hand, just around the base of your pinky finger would be Fennville, home to Virtue Cider. Of course, you donât really need to know any of this to enjoy a bottle of The Mitten, Virtueâs winter blend of bourbon-barrel aged cider and fresh apple juice.
A peninsula is a piece of land surrounded by water on three of its sides and connected with a larger landmass on its fourth side. In other words, a land area that âsticks outâ into the water. Much of Florida is formed by a peninsula that is surrounded on three sides by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The largest of all the peninsulas on earth is the Arabian Peninsula in southwest Asia. This landmass is washed on the east by the Persian Gulf, on the west by the Red Sea, and on the south by the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea.
