The Great Natural Expedition Featuring the Spherical Law of Cosines Around the World: The Great Natural Expedition Featuring the Spherical Law of Cosines Zachary Youkhana

Flight Plan Home (Warren, MI) The Galapagos Islands The Great Barrier Reef Mount Everest

The Galapagos Wide variety of landscapes and climates Great diversity in wildlife due to varying landscapes, all within 225 miles of each other, which includes penguins living in the Northern Hemisphere Volcanic craters to explore from the creation of the islands Diversity among species inspired Darwin’s Theory of Evolution while voyaging on the HMS Beagle

Great Barrier Reef Largest coral reef system in the world, with a reef structure made up of billions of microscopic organisms Spans 1,600 miles Is visible from outer space Consists of 900 islands and 2,900 separate reefs within its 133,000 square miles Beautiful underwater sites to see while scuba-diving

Mount Everest Highest mountain in the world with a summit of 29,029 feet Highest point on Earth’s surface Is pushed upward by tectonic plates and grows by 1.6 to 3.9 inches per year A challenging journey to the peak and an awe-inspiring view from the top

Coordinates

From Home to the Galapagos Distance from Home to the Galapagos = approximately 3,019.5 miles

From The Galapagos to The Great Barrier Reef Distance from the Galapagos to the Great Barrier Reef = approximately 8,275.34 miles

From The Great Barrier Reef to Mount Everest Distance from the Great Barrier Reef to Mount Everest = approximately 5,170.07 miles

From Mount Everest Back Home Distance from Mount Everest to Home = approximately 7,527.57 miles
