Montenegro is the country of natural rarities which is shown throughout the four clearly differentiated geographic regions within its small area. The Seaside presents a striking contrast to the other three regions, and makes the Mediterranean "facade" of Montenegro. A special geomorphologic region in Montenegro is the limestone area, that is in complete contrast to the Seaside, which it literally overhangs. Lake Skadar, the fertile Zeta plain with the Zeta River valley, and the Nikšić field (polje), comprise the third geomorphologic region of Montenegro. This is a lowland and the only plain area in Montenegro. The north of Montenegro is the area of high limestone mountains. Podgorica is the capital city. Nikšić is Macedonia's second largest city.
