Taurus Mountains
Mount Ararat
The Ararat Mount is located in Turkey it is a volcanic cone and really cold by the way. As I was getting closer to the Peak I could feel the cold air blowing in my face and my fingers just getting colder and colder as you reach to the peak you can see the peak covered by snow. The Ararat Mount has two peaks the greater Ararat and the Lesser Ararat. The Greater Ararat is has an elevation of 16,854 fts and the Lesser Ararat has an elevation of 12,782 ft. This volcanic mountain rises 5,165 meters or 16,945 feet high. The Ararat Mount borders Iran and Armenia. Local people call it Agri Dagh which means Mountain of Pain. I really liked comeing here and would love to come back again.
Negev Desert
This is my adventure to the Negev Desert. It is very big it actually covers more than half of Israel. And you Dont want to now how I know that. Or maybe you do ok I'll tell you. It was me against the Negev desert but the Negev Desert had the advantage Weather the highest 91(°F) and the lowest is 45(°F). So I could'nt go on a empty stomoch so I had to find some food before i do anything. As a start my look i see a Trapelus savignii witch is a Desert lizard and this is one of many animals in the negev desert. So I i grabed the biggest rock that i could see and i slowly aproched that desert animal i noticed it was'nt paying any atention to mo soo i threw it and boom perfect shot. I grab my knife and cut off that head, tail and legs. This was a good kill. After all that was dont I went to get something for leave with and on my way I saw A Desert Rhubarb I took this picture-
The Rub al- Khali Desert (The Empty Quarter)
The Rub al- Khali Desert is known as The Empty Quarter and is one of the largest deserts in the world with the largest sand dunes. The desert covers over 650.000 square kilometers. The desert is 1000 kilometers long and 500 kilometers wide. The Rub al- Khali Desert means “the Empty Place”. Few plants and animals can survive here and there’s barley any water. Barley any one lives here since the desert is mainly sand and not much living thing. As I got near to the desert I could see the high sand dunes that where as big as some of the building from Des Moines. I wish I could come back some day to learn more about the Empty quarter a really harsh and dry desert really lonely and one of the loneliest that you would find in the world.
Sea of Marmara
The Sea of Marmara is really interesting to learn about. It has a Turkish Name, Marmara Deniz. The sea takes its name from Island of Maramra The sea is also known as Sea of Marmora. The salinity of the sea averages about 22 parts per thousands. However the water is much more saline at the sea-bottom, averaging salinities of around 38 parts per thousands.
The Red Sea
The Red Sea is a wonderful place to visit it is mostly popular for its beautiful coral reefs. Scuba diving is really common here as well as boating; surfing on the waves of the Red Sea is such a wonderful thing feeling the wind blowing in your face. The Red Sea is seawater of the Indian Ocean lying between Africa and Asia. The Red Sea has a surface area of roughly 438,000 km². It is about 2250 km (1398 miles) long and, at its widest point, is 355 km (220.6 miles) wide. It has a maximum depth of 2211 meters (7254 feet). The Red Sea has extensive shallow shelves, noted for their marine life and corals. The sea is the habitat of over 1,000 invertebrate species, and 200 soft and hard corals. It is the world's northernmost tropical sea. Comeing here was really nice when I went diving it was a really great adventure and wish to come back again pretty soon.
