    Earth's Extreme Places! What an interesting topic to research. Mount Everest is definitely a very tall mountain. Do you know that 29,028 feet equals about 5 1/2 miles? Can you imagine trying to climb that mountain? Do you know that a man plans to BASE jump from Mount Everest next month? We have to watch the Discovery Channel to see him attempt this Extreme Sport!

    To be honest, I have never before read about the White Mountain. It think that it is amazing that most of the mountain is under the sea level! Nevertheless, the view from the top must be beautiful. Perhaps, you could go and visit it one day and see for yourself.

    Dear Bailey,
    I found your information and facts on Mount. Everest to be interesting and inviting. Many people have attempted to climb Mt. Everest, but few have been successful. Joby Ogwyn the youngest American (at age 24) to climb Mount Everest will be the first to attempt wingsuit flight off the summit of Mount Everest. His jump has been measured to be 10,000 vertical feet. This first wingsuit jump is being advertised by Discovery Channel as "Everest Jump Live" will air in May. Joby's wingsuit is a MUST SEE!!! I must set DVR. I would love to go to the Himalayas to SEE, NOT CLIMB OR JUMP OFF Mount Everest!

      I noticed that your class is tracking the location of people who respond to your blog. Have you marked the Bahamas? I did not see it on the map, or maybe I was not looking at the correct spot. Do you know how to find it on the map and how long it takes to get there from Columbia, MD? Also, do you know what is the climate there? Is it tropical, subtropical or something completely different? What is the primary language spoken there? Is it mostly a tourist spot? If not, what sort of trades do the natives do other there?
      Please, let me know if you happen to research it.
