Geography

The Amazon River, now flowing into the Atlantic Ocean, once flowed in the opposite direction.

The last volcanic activity of Mount Fuji was recorded in the 1960s.

The reduced flow greatly impacts the Dead Sea, causing its rapid shrinking.

The enormous discharge of water dilutes the salinity of the Atlantic Ocean for an area of 2,5 million square kilometers.

One-third of income from tourism to the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park goes to the Anangu community.

It is the second-longest river in North America.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, most of the volcano cone is relatively young and was formed over the last 2,200 years.

The Mediterranean region attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world every year.

After the economic crisis of 1929, Chile tried to sell the island in exchange for warships.

On the south coast, about 50 km from the Atlantic Ocean, lies the Qinngua Valley, protected from the cold winds from the interior of the island. This is the warmest place in Greenland where a natural forest has developed.
