sixth location

My sixth location is the Carney Island. The Carney Island is located in Antarctica. Antarctica does not have a capital city. The countries that border Antarctica are South America, Africa, and Austrailia.

The bodies of water that border Antarctica are the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The GPS coordinates of the Carney Island are 73°57 South, 121°00 West.

The climate of the Carney Island is very cold. The Carney Island in the Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. Heavy snowfalls are very common. Snowfalls of up to (48 inches in 48 hours have been recorded. Strong winds that have the force of a storm are very common.

The Antarctic is 98% covered by ice. This ice is about one mile thick. The Carney Island has mountains and ice caps. The wind is always blowing and it is extremely cold.

The Carney Island was named after Admiral Robert B. Carney born in 1895 and he died in 1990. He was Chief of Naval Operations during the organization of Operation Deep Freeze.

The location of Carney Island is important because it is on the continent of Antarctica and that is where 4000 scientists from all over the world go each year to work on experiments and do research.

I got to my sixth location by helicoptor. It did not cost me anything to get their because I met a scientist that does research and experiments that can only be done on this continent. The scientist paid for the cost of the flight to get me there.

My trip around the world was very interesting. I learned about different people, animals, and got to eat different food. This was a very interesting vacation.

My family is very happy to have me back home, because they missed me and wanted to know how my trip was.
