Italy is composed of a total of approximately 149 cities and out of those cities the one that shall be discussed in this paper is Pompeii. The città of Pompeii was located near the Mount Vesuvius. This volcano is close to the bay of Naples since it is hundreds of thousands of years old. Leading to the destruction of this ancient città later on. Although the volcano has erupted over 50 times, the one that is the most famous occurred in 79 A.D., in the città of Pompeii. Before this occurred Pompeii

Waiting underneath Yellowstone National Park In the northwest of America, there lies one of the largest super-volcano’s that could wipe out majority of the United States. Yes, Yellowstone National Park sits on top of a giant volcanic caldera. A cap made of earth that shields a huge reservoir of liquid rock. Now, the floor of the caldera is in fact rising, and earthquakes in the region suggest magma movement beneath the park. Despite your initial nail biting thoughts, this is actually normal. However

Many think their work is physically straining, yet, none compares to what Atlas demonstrates.  Atlas gives new meaning to the definition of hard work. Throughout his position of tenure, Atlas has simultaneously exhibited the power of stupidity. His exhibition of stupidity is almost as powerful as his demonstration of extreme intelligence. Atlas, a titan who received the worst punishment of all from the Olympians, holds the worst possible type of tenure. When the word tenure is brought up, many immediately

Anatoli Boukreev opposes the topic of defending himself for the misunderstandings John Krakauer had mentioned about his decisions and actions on Mount Everest. He states that Krakauer lacked closeness of what really did happen during the events of summit day. Boukreev has had twenty years of “high altitude climbing experience” (Boukreev 1), he has gone up Mount Everest three times in his career of climbing but in total he has climbed twelve high altitude mountains. According to Boukreev, “I have summited

Garbage on Everest At the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest, at 29,029 feet above sea level is polluted with over 13,000 tons of trash.The North and South peaks are polluted with broken tent parts,oxygen canisters, frozen bodies and so much more. Mt. Everest , world’s tallest mountain is also disgustingly polluted with garbage. Most of it oxygen tanks, tent parts, sleeping bags,human waste, equipment parts, and frozen bodies. About 2.5 tons of it was classified as bio-hazardous.Experienced

There I was, standing on the edge of the Austrian Alps, and all I could think of was certain death. Why I signed up my friends for an extreme canyoning experience is beyond me, or as our Austrian tour guide eloquently put it, “crazy Americans”. The group consisted of a group of close friends, some that I have known for over twenty years. That day we tested our friendship to its physical limit. We had planned for this European backpacking trip for months in advance and I suggested canyoning the

Mt. Everest, standing 8,850 meters above sea level is taller than any other mountain in the world. Since 1922, hundreds of climbers have attempted to climb this treacherous mountain located in the Himalayan Ridge, whose summit ridge separates Nepal and Tibet. By 1996, the number of successful ascents totaled 846, with more than half occurring between 1992 – 1996. Sadly, this achievement did not come without loss of life, as 148 have perished while trying to complete this achievement. In 1996

including Nicolosi and Catania. Leonardo Mercatanti, in his article “Etna and the Perception of Volcanic Risk,” reviews a survey conducted in late 2011 and early 2012 in order to come to a conclusion on the local’s relationship with the volcano. Mount Etna is one of the world’s largest volcanoes, towering at 3340 meters above sea level and spanning an area of about 210 kilometers. (Mercantanti, 2013) Its most destructive eruption occurred in 1669 and it still erupts and spews smoke to this day.

mold on their caps. I have climbed mountains that spurred above the cold cotton candy clouds as the Yellow Mountain Range of China, which towered as tall as Mount Washington, still most of its lush green trail paths are paved for easy climbing and convey the mountains humid weather, where bamboo stocks were amble like grass. On the other hand, Mount Washington was two steps more difficult from the usual stroll in the damp forest of the Fells of Winchester. Arguably, I frequented the Fells every month

Journal 1 Not applicable Journal 2 To be filled completely with a goal and willing to do anything to follow that goal. To overcome for success, that's how I felt rock climbing. I would drive up to a cliff hike in and decide what part of the face I would concur. With my pack of supply's pulling me back asking for me to just lay down I started my hike around the edge. On bolyai off bolyai, 15 steps at a time; I made jumps over cravasses and trusted my rope. On top of the cliff wall I look over
