Entry 7 sixth location

The last place I am going is the Akademik Fedorov Canyon. It is in Antarctica. Antarctica has no cities, permanent residents, government, or capital.There are no countries on Antarctica and no permanent population. Many countries have scientific research stations on Antarctica with seasonal manning, a few Antarctic stations have all year round manning. The bodies of water that border Antarctica is The Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. The GPS coordinates are 72 degrees South and 32 degrees north. Antarctica has six months of daylight and six months of darkness. The earth revolves around the sun and tilts on it's axis. During the winter, Antarctica is tilted away from the sun, causing it to be dark. For the half of the year that is summer, Antarctica is facing the sun and getting more of its direct rays.The lowest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was -129ºF. The warmest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was 59ºF. The average summer temperature is 20ºF. The average winter temperature is -30ºF.The highest wind speed ever in Antarctica was when the wind was moving at five meters per second. The wind is an important factor in making Antarctica cold. The wind can lower the temperatures of Antarctica by at least ten degrees.The Antarctic is colder than the North Pole because it warms up faster and it cools down faster. Antarctica gets warmer faster than the Arctic because the Ocean water carries heat from the equator to the poles. The land of Antarctica heats up faster than the waters of the Arctic. The Akademik Fedorov Canyon looks like giant blocks of ice covered in snow and it looks like water runs through it. The history of this canyon is that it has been around for millions of years. This location is important to me because my best friend went their and I want to see it by myself. This canyon is 9,206.26 miles away for the Wu gorge in China. I am going to take a plain to this place. It costed all together alot of money. I fell good that I went all around the world. I learned that know matter were you are their is always something beautiful. My family is so happy that I went all around the worlg in one time with out going home.

Entry 6 Fifth Location

The fifth place I am visiting is the Wu gorge. The country that it is in is China. The capital of China is Beijing. The countries that border China is Mongolia, Russia, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. The bodies of water that border China is The East China sea, The Yellow sea, The gulf of Tonkin and the South China sea. The GPS coordinates are 30 and 109. The climate is T he average annual temperature in The Gorge is 18.4 degree Celsius, and in the coldest month, January, the average temperature is 7.1 degree Celsius, while the mean temperature in July, the hottest month all around the year, is 29.3 degree Celsius. The annual average rainfall is about 1400 mm in Three Gorges area, and more is centralized in July and August. The climatic feature in The Gorge area is mildness in winter, hotness in summer, abundance of rainfall, distinctions of four seasons. It is not much different from the Sichuan Basin, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. However, because of deep valleys, thus the sunshine time is short. In winter the sunshine available is just 2 or 3 hours before and after noon, and only 5 or 6 hours in summer The Wu gorge looks like a hole in the ground with valleys and rivers going through it. The history of the Wu gorge is that it is the most beautiful section of the Yangtze River. History of the Wu gorge is that they have 12 peaks and it is 25 miles long. This location is important to me because my family went their when I was younger and I liked it a lot so I want to go see it to see how its changed. The Wu gorge is 4,024.08 miles away from the Granite gorge in Australia. I am going to fly to the Wu gorge. It will cost me $995.00 to get form Australia to China. I had no problem in my flight. The biggest difference is that the Wu gorge had way more grass and water then the Granite gorge

Entry 5 Fourth place

The fourth place I am going is the Granite Gorge it is in Australia. The capital of Australia is Canberra. Their is no continents that border Australia. The bodies of water that border Australia is The Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The gps Coordinates are 17 and 145. I am guessing that the climate in Australia is warm and dry because it is so far under the equator. This place looks like it is a long deep hole in the ground it also looks red in the rocks. I have my own history of this location and it is also important. That my great grandparents use to go their every other year. It is 9,056.54 miles away from my last location. I took a plain to this location and I did not have any layovers or any trouble. I could not find out the price the website would not work and I tried a different one and it would not work also. I felt good about traveling around the world on a plan it was fun.
