Glacier

If you needed help because a rock unexpectedly fell on your head, would you want rescue services to help you? A ranger died thursday afternoon, an informational article by Guy Moreau explaining the challenges of everest, and an interview with Nick Heil talking about mount everest and why there have been more rescue calls. Rescue services should be provided to people who put themselves at risk because we have the technology to save them, rescue workers signed up for their positions and accidents…

Global warming has turned into a household term. You may trust that it is real or you may have questions. In both cases you will be misled by the myth of melting glaciers, extending temperature. You put on a mask to take a breath of oxygen and stay inside not to be air polluted. You are sweating hard. You don’t see anything around you. You are looking at your death. Yes I am right you are going to die. If we don’t keep these things in our mind, the end is not far. I have gotten the reports on…

nervous before taking off, but once I was in the air I relaxed as I relied on my knowledge to careful navigate to my destination. I was confident throughout the flight, so much so that once I found my airport, I decided to continue on 40 miles to a glacier fed lake my instructor had informed me about and made it optional to visit. The whole flight was a confidence booster and it made clear how the time and effort I placed into flying were paying…

ESSAY While reading many books I have reincarnated my soul many a times. But they have only given me knowledge and a definite perception of the world. But the voluble and fallacious content of the book named “SIDDHARTHA”, WRITTEN BY HERMAN HESSE has changed the way I view the world. The author had come to India for a visit and came across the idealism of Lord Buddha. He was immensely happy and overwhelmed to know the ideas that Buddhism offered. It sprouted up the positive feelings in his…

The Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle, Asthenosphere, and Lithosphere, or, as more colloquially known, the five layers of the Earth. Although each layer is important, each living thing resides on the Lithosphere, which happens to rest on the Asthenosphere, the upper part of the Mantle. Forces caused by these two layers both contribute to the theory of Plate Tectonics, which happens to be interconnected to Earthquakes and Volcanoes. Without Plate Tectonics, the other two occurrences simply cannot…

Some cultural practices that they do in Italy, is that their most popular sport is “football” or soccer. Although my family is a Italian family, we don’t always…

"Your are responsible for your own happiness," a quote used by many people. Some do agree with this saying while others don't. In the film 'Into the Wild' we saw how Chris McCandless made his own happiness while ignoring how other people feel about him and his decisions. We observed that by going to Alaska he'd receive happiness. Some people throughout the film tried to stop him but nothing changed his mind. Because of this many people criticized Chris for his choice to go into the wild. People…
