Kilimanjaro is fascinating, most of its visitors are hardly there long enough to learn much about it, and there in nothing very African about the climbing culture on the mountain. "The people of Africa are violent and dangerous." The exact opposite is probably closer to the truth. It is safer in many African capitals to take a late night stroll than in many North American cities. "I'll get ill in Africa." Travelers to Africa need to know that there are a number of serious diseases there, but that does not mean not eating, drinking, and breathing the stay.

... a break in geologic activity of about 5 million years landing us around 8 million years ago. This is when the new Cascades were created. The new Cascades caused there to be a great difference in the climate on the West Side and the East Side of the mountain range. Our field trip started by driving through the city of Bend and its geology. In Bend there are two Buttes. There is Pilot Butte, which is the oldest, and there is Awbrey Butte. Pilot Butte is a composite cone with no crater. This Butte is surrounded by older lava from the Newberry crater area. Both Pilot and Awbrey Butte are Kipukas because they are both islands surrounded by older rock. Our next stop was in Dry Canyon, wher ...

The Spaniards eventually dominated CHILE During this period CHILE was a Captaincy General of Spain and supposedly governed from Peru, where Spain had a more important government because Peru was rich in Inca gold.

... as in the North. The north is heavy in mining these resources because they have a large surplus of them, and the north is not; they have moved on and found other economical niches. The population of South Korea (1995 estimate) is about 45,182,000 people. The country's estimated population density of 1188 per sq mi is one of the highest in the world. The majority of the population lives in the southern and western coastal areas. The annual rate of increase has dropped steadily from more than 3 percent in the late 1950s to 0.8 percent in the mid-1990s.
