Mt. Everest was named for Sir George Everest, a British surveyor-general of India. It is Earth’s highest mountain above sea level, it lies in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas. The China-Nepal border runs across its summit point. Its elevation of 8,848.86 m was most recently established in 2020 by the Nepali and Chinese authorities.

4,000 people attempted to climb Mt. Everest. 660 were successful and 142 dies trying. In 1953
Hillary and Norgay reached the topsummit. The Seven Summits are comprised of the highest mountains on each of the seven continents of the Earth: Everest, Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Mt. Vinson, and Carstensz Pyramid.
Oceans and Seas:
Seas are smaller than oceans and are usually located where the land and ocean meet. Seas are partially enclosed by land. The 7 Seas, is a term used to refer to seven oceans (oceanic bodies of water): Arctic, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific, Indian, and Southern (Antarctic) Oceans. These are the World Oceans, also collectively known as just “the seas.”
The average ocean is 12,000 feet deep. The deepest part of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep and is located beneath the western Pacific Ocean at the southern end of the Mariana Trench. The Pacific Ocean Maximum depth is 36,161 feet. The deeper you go, the pressure of the water would be so intense that it would cause your lungs to collapse completely, killing you instantly. The pressure from the water would push in on the person’s body, causing any space that’s filled with air to collapse.
Forests cover 31 percent of the world’s land surface, just over 4 billion hectares/one hectare =2.47 acres. The Amazon is the world’s largest rainforest. It’s home to more than 30 million people and one in ten known species on Earth. The Amazon rainforest, covering much of northwestern Brazil and extending into Colombia, Peru, and other South American countries, is the world’s largest tropical rainforest, famed for its biodiversity.
The Amazon Rainforest is home to 427 mammal species, 1,300 bird species, 378 species of reptiles, and more than 400 species of amphibians. Animals include: jaguars, sloths, river dolphins, macaws, anacondas, glass frogs, and poison dart frogs.
The Antarctic is the coldest location of Earth.
South Pole it gets about 32 degrees F and -80 degrees F. People all over the world undertake research in Antarctica but it is not owned by any one nation. It is governed internationally through the 1961 Antarctic Treaty system–it is set aside as a scientific preserve. Its population is 1000 – 5000 and it’s 5,500,000 sq. mi. Antarctica is approx. the size of the US and Mexico combined and is almost completely covered by a layer of ice that averages more than one mile in thickness, but is nearly three miles thick in places.
Antarctica is described as a continent of superlatives. Antarctica is the world’s southernmost continent. It is also the world’s highest, driest, windiest, coldest, and iciest continent. The World’s largest iceberg is nearly four times the size of New York City. The tallest iceberg recorded was 550 ft. high extending out of the water to almost the height of the Washington Monument
If you’re familiar with the phrase “you haven’t seen nothing yet”! Well, the 550 feet you see is nothing (it’s the tip of the iceberg), because, almost 90% of an iceberg is underwater, and its maximum width underwater is 20-30 % larger than you can see at the surface.

Greater is the Unseen!
See, this Earth has so much to offer, so adventurous, it is fascinating, its wonder are amazing – (exploration, however) is endless.
Stewardship means: conducting, supervising, or managing of something: the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care.
We should remain Committed and Selfless and Faithful – we only have “ONE” chance- let’s take care of our Earth.
God Bless…
