Geography

According to Clyde S. Kilby, a prominent literary scholar, J. R. R. Tolkien based the Mount Doom, volcano located in Mordor, Middle-earth with the Stromboli volcano.

The largest country in Asia is Russia, and the most populated is China.

The location of the supposed baptism of Jesus is recognized as a place of worship.

The island was also home to many endemic species of land and sea birds. These have become extinct due to deforestation and hunting.

Nile crocodiles, hippos, monkeys and a large population of African white-tailed eagles that hunt for fish live near Lake Malawi.

The lake's ecosystem is very unique and diverse.

The first known inhabitants of the basin was the Siberian Kurian tribe, who appeared there around the 6th century.

It is surrounded by five lakes.

Despite its cold waters, over 80 fish species live in the lake.

The term "Bermuda Triangle" first came into existence in 1952 in an article that appeared in the American magazine Fate.
