Once the lake refilled their fun started with ease. Summer activities kicked off as the boat settled into the water.

The final geographical region is the Eastern Highlands, this great portion extends approximately 958 miles South from lake Mobutu Sese Seko, clear through to the edge of the Shaba region. Retaining lush vegetation and highly fertile soils, this region is highly populated. With Mt. Ngaliema engulfed in the series of rugged plateaus and mountains, which make up the heights, reaching an altitude of 16,791 feet above sea level gives the Eastern Heights the greatest altitude throughout the country (Lerner,

9- Mountains: a large natural elevation of the earth's surface rising abruptly from the surrounding level; a large steep hill. A giant lump in the earth.

People might wonder some basic geography of Mount Everest. The first aspect of the geography of mount everest is the elevation. First of all it is the talled above ground mountain with a whopping elevation of 29,035 said Rosenberg. Mooney said that some glaciers are melting up to 8,850 meters up witch is equal to 29,035 feet up. At Everest's highest point, you are breathing in a third of the amount of oxygen you would normally breathe due to the atmospheric pressure (Bromwich).

The water is surrounded by beach like sand, picnic tables, and playgrounds for summer family fun. Although swimming is at your own risk the lake is cool and refreshing. Several different species of fish have made this beautiful lake home so fishing is offered with the proper fishing licenses. Boat rentals are also available seven days a week for reasonable prices.

     The growing population of Vikings in towns such as Birka in Sweden, Ribe and Hedeby in Denmark, and Kaupang in Norway prospered for the trading that took place along this string of cities. The trading flourished even though Danish and the Norwegian Vikings were raiding all the cities over in Europe. The Scandinavian towns were built on major waterways that were easy to reach by ship which in turn made trading much easier.

Although, the High Desert is not over populated or noisy . The lake bring a powerful silence to one soul when one sits near the lake . Silence has an energy , a power that helps people to think and help one slow the mind down

One more turn, passing people on motorcycles, and we finally reached our lake. Batsto lake was beautiful. The destination made it even more special as it seemed almost like my sister and I had tumbled across land we could call our own. Almost as if we were explorers who came across land untouched by mankind. Trees surrounded us, creating shade for the few other cars that were parked on the dirt beach. They were families who shared the same idea of old-fashioned fun.

This is my attempt at depicting the beauty of Lake Cunningham. Although not an accurate representation, the artwork still closely resembles the park, as it was inspired by the memories I had at Lake Cunningham as a child. As a child, I would often hike along the trail, run around the grass, or skip stones across the lake. These are memories that I cherish and I hope that other children will also have to chance to do the same. My park matters because living in a technological driven society, this is the closest thing we to nature. The scenery at Lake Cunningham could help soothe our minds and improve our mental health as it it can help us de-stress. Lake Cunning has a lot to offer and had been around for decades, thus we must help preserve

Ecotours and parasailing are other popular activities in the area. Boating is not just for the daytime. The locally available sunset tours are unforgettable.

Dusky moorhens are common to the area, along with pacific black ducks. Saw-shelled turtles are frequent in the lake. The Australian water dragon is also seen near the lake and the surrounding area. The flora in the area include the giant kauri and an umbrella tree. The Australian Christmas tree is often near the edge of the lake. In the lake itself, water lilies are common.

ikes Peak is a big, tall, rocky, and beautiful mountain with a fantastic view. As my family and I started driving up the mountain the sun was shining so bright it was a nice warm summer day. The roads are so curvy going up the mountain which is creepy; if put on the outside rail. First it was a beautiful pine tree forest lookout, and saw all these different animal signs. A quarter of the way up we saw a strange sign saying Bigfoot Crossing, so we had to get a picture with it. Once we got out of the forest it got really cliffy and we got really close to the edge which is a little frightening, but it is an amazing view, so it is worth it. Lakes were cool to see, there are three of them and the are really big. As we got higher up the view was

We are at Ghargha Lake I, Amir, Hassan, Agha sahib, Rahim Khan, and thousands of other people. The sun beats down upon us and the lake is pristinely silent. Looking into the lake I can see myself clearly almost as if the lake is a mirror. Thousands of people continue to pour in surrounding the lake. The large crowd can be attributed to a rumor spread around Kabul that a vicious monster was spotted. No one dares enter the lake in fear of the grotesque beast patiently waiting under the surface. Oddly Amir takes off his shirt and confidently shouts 'There's no monster, I'll show you all.' I stand frozen in horror as Amir runs and jumps into the lake with Hassan tailing. While I contemplate rescuing the two wild children, they continue to swim

Paddling in perfect unison across Lake Louise makes you a child of nature. Taking in the deafening silence and breathtaking sights of the wilderness is a glimpse to treasure dearly. The water is brilliant blue like Neptune. The downside is my cousins and sibling splashing the paddles as they dash over the canoe. The dramatic summit of Victoria Glacier is a stunning scenery of spontaneous sculpture-like presence. Seizing the moment to grasp the triumphant luster of water, who the late Pierre Elliott Trudeau once loved.
