Dear Student,

Isthmus is a narrow strip of land connecting two larger land areas, usually with water on either side. A peninsula is a piece of land that is almost surrounded by water but connected to mainland (via an isthmus). So a peninsula is often defined as land surrounded by water on three sides.
Archipelago- A group of island.
