Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Our journey begins in a beautiful city on the west coast of the United States. We board a ship that crosses through the Golden Gate, and under one of the world's most beautiful bridges, en route to Asia. Which city have we just left?

Answer: San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the largest cities in the United States, and its metropolitan area has more than six million inhabitants. The Golden Gate Bridge spans the inlet to San Francisco Bay, called the Golden Gate.
2. In order to cross from the U.S. west coast to our next destination, Shanghai, China, we cross a vast expanse of water. On our way, we pass by the Hawaiian Islands. What giant ocean have we made our way across?

Answer: Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean is by far the largest body of water on planet Earth. Its area (64,186,300 sq mi) is almost twice that of the second largest ocean, namely the Atlantic (33,420,000 sq mi). The Pacific Ocean is also the deepest body of water, with the Marianas Trench descending 35,840 ft deep (or 10,924 meters).
3. Arriving at Shanghai, we enjoy one of China's largest cities. The next day we embark on a train towards the border between China and Nepal where the world's largest mountain peak awaits. What is the name of this snowcapped giant in the Himalaya Mountains that we will soon climb?

Answer: Mt. Everest

The peak of Mt. Everest literally extends through the clouds, over five miles above sea level (8,844 m, or 29,017 ft). This great mountain straddles the border between Nepal and Tibet, a disputed part of China. Mt. Everest is nearly 800 ft taller than the next highest mountain, namely K2.
4. Happily descending after our rigorous mountain climb, we pass through Nepal and into India. Rather than journey by land, we make our way in boats down one of the world's longest rivers. What is the name of this river whose delta is shared by India and Bangladesh?

Answer: Ganges River

The headwaters of the Ganges River may be found in the great Himalayan Range, from which also arises Mt. Everest. The Ganges, called the Ganga in India, is 2,510 km, or 1,560 mi, long, and millions of people live within its river basin. The city of Kolkata (Calcutta) is the largest within the Ganges delta region.
5. We take off from the airport at Dum Dum, India, and arrive that evening at Sydney. Our intent is to drive up the coast from Sydney and visit the largest reef in the world the following day, namely the Great Barrier Reef. In which country have we landed?

Answer: Australia

Sydney is Australia's largest city. It is located in New South Wales on the east coast. The Great Barrier Reef may be found off the coast of Queensland, a northern state. The Great Barrier Reef is so large that it can be seen from outer space. Unfortunately, many parts of the reef are endangered because of threats to the environment.
6. Taking off from the city of Brisbane, we take a series of flights to Cairo, Egypt. After a brief rest and a look at the Great Pyramids, we sometimes sail, sometimes ride camels slowly up the Nile River. At Lake Victoria, we head due south riding sometimes on elephants and sometimes in jeeps towards Kruger National Park. Which continent have we just slowly traversed (crossed)?

Answer: Africa

Africa is the world's second largest continent (after Asia), so our trip took a long while. From the extreme north in Egypt, the Nile River can be followed all the way to its source, Lake Victoria, which is at the borders of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. Kroger National Park is still further south, found in the southernmost country of Africa, namely South Africa.
7. Now at Cape Town, our intrepid (fearless) group boards an iceboat. We aim to make our way directly for the isolated continent of Antarctica. Our aim is to cross half of the frozen continent on our way towards the South Pole. Can we find the South Pole in Antarctica?

Answer: Yes

Yes, indeed we can, though it will be a cold journey. Though it's a difficult trip, many people have visited the South Pole, including Roald Amundsen, who led the first party to visit there on December 14, 1911.
8. After this frighteningly cold journey, we make our way up through the Antarctic Peninsula towards the southern tip of Chile and Argentina. A rather large cruising boat takes us along the South American coast in the direction of Ecuador. We will visit some islands off the Ecuadorian coast made famous by Charles Darwin. What is this tiny archipelago (group of islands) called?

Answer: Galapagos

The Galapagos Islands are home to some of the most interesting flora (plants) and fauna (animals) in the world. Giant tortoises, large marine iguanas and hundreds of species of beautiful birds live on the islands. Charles Darwin did much of his important research at the Galapagos in the 19th century.
9. Returning to Ecuador, we arrive at Quito and the international airport there. Our next destination is Europe. After another long flight, we land in Madrid, Spain. Immediately, we make our way south and board a touring boat for a leisurely journey around one of the world's largest seas. What is the name of this sea that contains the islands of Sicily and Cyprus?

Answer: Mediterranean Sea

The Mediterranean Sea can be found off the southern coast of Europe, and divides the continent of Europe from Africa. Sicily is a large Italian island in the Mediterranean, and Cyprus, an independent country, can be found off the coast of Turkey.
10. Our final destination will be London, England, where our crew will break up and go their separate ways. Before going to London, we make one final stop in Rome, Italy, to see the great Roman ruins. We also pay a visit to one of the world's smallest countries, where the Pope lives near the beautiful St. Peter's Basilica. What country is this?

Answer: Vatican City

Vatican City is an enclave within the city of Rome. The Pope, leader of the Catholic Church, lives in the Vatican. Fewer than 1,000 people live in the Vatican, and the entire country is much smaller than New York City's Central Park!

Thank you for joining us on our journey, we hope you have enjoyed yourself and learned many things on this exciting adventure.
