[[Image:Location ShiretokoPeninJp.jpg|thumb|240px|Location]]
{{nihongo|'''Shiretoko Peninsula'''|知床半島|Shiretoko-hantō}} is located on the easternmost portion of the [[Japan]]ese [[island]] of [[Hokkaidō]], protruding into the [[Sea of Okhotsk]]. It is separated from the [[Kunashir Island]] of [[Russia]] by the [[Nemuro Strait]]. The name Shiretoko is derived from the [[Ainu language]] word ''sir etok'', meaning ''the end of the Earth''<ref name="Hunt">{{cite book|last=Hunt|first=Paul|title=Hiking in Japan: An Adventurer's Guide to the Mountain Trails|publisher=Kodansha International Ltd|location=Tokyo and New York|year=1988|edition=First edition|pages=200–205|chapter=33. Shiretoko|isbn=0-87011-893-5}}</ref> or ''the place where the Earth protrudes''. The towns of [[Rausu, Hokkaidō|Rausu]] and [[Shari, Hokkaidō|Shari]] cover the peninsula.
On July 14, 2005, in a meeting held in the Republic of South Africa, the Shiretoko Peninsula was declared a UNESCO [[World Heritage Site]], and on July 17 was officially registered as such. The reason is that in the [[Northern Hemisphere]], the peninsula is the southern most point where [[sea ice]] usually forms.

==Geography==
From Shiretoko Cape at the tip of the peninsula, a series of volcanoes run down the peninsula, including [[Mount Shiretoko]], [[Mount Unabetsu]], and [[Mount Iō (Shiretoko)|Mount Iō]]. It is part of the Chishima volcanic zone.<ref name="Hunt" /><ref name="iba">{{cite web|url=http://www.wbsj.org/nature/hogo/others/iba/eng/010.html|title=JP010Shiretoko, Mount Syari-dake|work=Important Bird Areas of Japan|publisher=Wild Bird Society of Japan|accessdate=12 January 2010}}</ref> The highest peak is [[Mount Rausu]].<ref name="iba" /> The peninsula is {{convert|70|km|mi}} long and {{convert|25|km|mi}} wide at its base.<ref name="iba" /> It covers some {{convert|123000|ha|sqmi}}<ref name="iba" />
The peninsula is bounded on the Northwest side by the [[Sea of Okhotsk]]<ref name="Hunt" /> and the Southeast side by the Pacific Ocean. To the east, [[Kunashir Island]] runs parallel to the peninsula.<ref name="Hunt" /> The Kunashir can be seen from Shiretoko Peninsula.<ref name="Hunt" /> Kunashir is part of [[Russia]], but disputed by Japan.<ref name="Hunt" />
The cold [[Oyashio Current]] flows south along the peninsula.<ref name="Hunt" />
The volcanic zone has made several [[onsen]] possible, including Seseki Onsen and Iwaobetsu Onsen.

==Climate==
The Oyashio Current has a profound impact on the weather of the peninsula. Shiretoko Peninsula has short summers and long winters.<ref name="Hunt" /> The current causes fog on the southeastern coast and [[sea ice]] in the winter.<ref name="Hunt" /> Snow covers the peaks from September to June, except the very highest peaks, which retain snow all summer long.<ref name="Hunt" />
==Flora and fauna==
The Shiretoko Peninsula is home to many species of both [[conifer]]s and [[broadleaf]] trees, including the [[acorn]]-bearing {{nihongo|[[Quercus mongolica]]|Mizunara}}. Above {{convert|1000|m|ft|-3}} grows [[Siberian Dwarf Pine]].<ref name="iba" /> [[Red Fox]]es and [[Sika Deer]] also inhabit the area. There are also a large number of [[Ussuri Brown Bear]]s.<ref name="iba" /> In the upper reaches of Mount Rausu, Mount Onnebetsu, and Mount Shari are the only known breeding areas of [[Arctic Warbler]]s in Hokkaidō.<ref name="iba" /> [[Sea eagle]]s flourish here, and [[pinniped|seal]]s can be often seen on the coast.
[[Whale watching]] is a popular attraction in the local tourism. Thirteen or fourteen species of [[cetaceans]] species have been recorded in the area.
Especially for Orca, [[Killer Whale]]s, the waters surrounding the peninsula are regarded as one of the most significant habitat areas in the northwestern Pacific.{{Citation needed|date=September 2009}} There was a notable mass stranding of 12 animals in February 2005. Nine animals died.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hokkaido.yomiuri.co.jp/shiretoko/shiretoko_article/20050208-1_article.htm|title= シャチ12頭、流氷で動けず 羅臼の海|date=8 Feb 2005|work=Yomiuri Online|language=Japanese|accessdate=2009-09-21}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://hokkaido.yomiuri.co.jp/shiretoko/shiretoko_article/20050208-2_article.htm|title=流氷で遭難、羅臼のシャチ 1頭、自力で沖へ 残る11頭は力尽きる?|date=8 Feb 2005|work=Yomiuri Online|language=Japanese|accessdate=2009-09-21}}</ref>
Shiretoko Peninsula is one of the few places where groups of male [[Sperm Whale]]s and [[Baird's Beaked Whale]]s can be spotted from the shore. Other frequently seen species include [[Minke Whale]]s, [[Pacific White-sided Dolphin]]s, [[Dall's Porpoise]]s and [[Harbour Porpoise]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slw.jp/kujiranokai_webdeck.html|title=The Whale View Park: Observation Deck|last=Sato|first=Hal|work=The SeaLife Watch|language=self-published|accessdate=2009-09-21}}</ref>
[[Humpback Whale]]s, [[Fin Whale]]s, [[North Pacific Right Whale]]s, [[Blue Whale]]s, [[White Whale]]s, [[Cuvier's Beaked Whale]]s, [[Stejneger's beaked whale]]s, [[Short-Finned Pilot Whale]]s can also be observed.
==Conservation efforts==
To protect the wild animals and pristine natural beauty of the Shiretoko Peninsula, in 1964 a great portion of the peninsula was designated [[Shiretoko National Park]].<ref name="Hunt" /> Since then, the park has been subject to strict regulation as a nature preserve, and entering is prohibited.
