Answer
The continent of South America forms a peninsula as it is covered by water on three sides and connected to the mainland on one side. The continent is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean in the east, the Pacific Ocean in the west and the Caribbean Sea in the northwest. The Drake Passage separates it from Antarctica. Thus, the entire continent is surrounded by water except a narrow stretch of land in the north.
