Liberia to the southeast,

and faces the Atlantic Ocean to the west.

The country has a land area of approximately 71,740 square kilometers, which is slightly smaller than Japan's Hokkaido.

The name "Sierra Leone" is said to originate from the 15th century, when Portuguese explorers saw the mountains and named them the "Lion Mountains."
