White mountains

The Andes Mountains is the longest mountain range in the world above the sea. They are over 7,200 kilometres and go past 7 countries, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.

Do you think climbers have the right to call rescue services to come save them? I think they do because they are climbing the mountains for the adventure and it’s their choice. The three reasons why people should have rescue services is that everyone has the right to call 911, people has the right to call for help, and the lives that could be saved by doing so.

The Wakefield family cabin sits on a flat, level piece of land that is inconsistent with the small rolling hills, timber and corn field that our cabin and it’s ½ acre manicured lawn sits waiting for our family. The nearest road is a narrow gravel road that is not visible from the entrance to our property at any time of year.

a new hobby? Well, you're in luck because I’ve got a great one. Rock climbing is an activity everyone should try for many reasons. The sense of accomplishment when finishing is unlike any other.

Exercise, of course, is a positive attribute to rock climbing. First of all, whenever we finish something that was difficult we feel proud of ourselves

By the Mountain "All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen" - Ralph Waldo Emerson My residence sinks demurely into the margin of Mt. Julius. The mountain stands gallantly but the concealed core is swept with solitude and mystery. A thick mist circles the mountain, casting a phantom-like shadow onto the bustling city below. It is a world away from life up here on the mountainside, so much so I feel as though I am a stranger, a witness to the activity that continues

Why should park rangers put themselves at risk to save those who choose to climb the mountain aware of the risk? The rangers could die up there trying to save another person’s life, which is very heroic but why should he save him. There could be another incident in the park where someone was not doing anything risky but nature struck. Mountain climbers shouldn’t be able to demand rescue services on the mountain. Rangers could die trying to save the person’s life. Climbers know they are putting

For my interview, I chose to interview my mom, Ilsa Wells, who had been born and lived in Colombia for 23 years before moving to the United States. Her family in Colombia was able to get by and provide for their fairly large family, albeit barely and with a lot of people having to work to make ends meet. She got her education there and when she was 23 she decided to move here in search of job opportunities and a better life. She said that many people in Colombia worked in the oil and mining industries

In 1789 the French felt that their basic needs were not being met and revolted against the monarchy. The National Convention, which was the new pro-French Revolution government, created a new constitution that gave the people rights called the Declaration of the Rights of Man. As a man named Robespierre came to power, he began something called the Reign of Terror to try and stop the revolts happening in France. This was a time of mass killings and executions where evidence was no longer needed to

Montana, just above the stunning Pryor Mountain Range. Bridger has a population of around 1,000 people. It is surrounded by small foothills and mountains. Montana is known for great skiing, it’s eyeful scenery, and there is an opportunity for adventure around every corner. One thing that is great about Montana is it’s looming mountains. The Pryor Mountain Range consists of one magnificent peak surrounded by meager foothills. When you are in the mountains, you feel free. There is no one to hold

The Traveler There were so many things which were unusual about Yoges Tamang. His perception of seeing the world was different from average person vision. Only thing he cared so much in his life is traveling. He wanted to discover nature’s mystery by being a traveler. At the age of seventeen, Yoges’s family tripped to base camp of Mount Everest. On the trip, they were guided by Sherpas. Yoges was fascinated by the lifestyle of Sherpa people. He felt
