Antarctica holds a number of high peaks, the highest peak is Vinson Massif with the height of 4897 meters. Although humans have been close to the continent since 1820, but 1990's new exploration of the frozen continent began. A very hard life over there apparently has claimed the lives of 200 more scientists and researchers during the last 45 years! 3. Forests are the most vital ecosystem that supports the earth. If the forest is destroyed, then gradually the earth will experience global warming due to rising levels of CO2 occurs in
addition to ecosystem imbalances. Apart from Indonesia, a country that has virgin forest, even the most extensive in the world are Russian. It is estimated that Russia has 289 million hectares of virgin forest, where half are located in five regions of Siberia and eastern regions. Because of economic pressures in Russia and the large turnover in the forest business reached U.S. $ 3 billion, virgin forest destruction became inevitable. Similarly in Indonesia, Illegal Logging was rife. If not addressed, few know where the forest will be depleted and threatened ecosystems of the world.
4. Know ye not that the wettest place on earth (the wettest place in the world) are very contradictory to call it. Cherrapunji, located 1290 m above sea level, receives an average rainfall per year is 1270 cm. High rainfall does not necessarily make the area has many water supplies. When not being the rainy season (or often called monsoon season t that high rainfall intensity caused by monsoon winds that bring so-called beads water very much), then the region Cherrapunji become very short of water.

From July 6 until August 17, 1917 for 43 consecutive days in Death Valley temperatures are above 48 ° C (120 ° F). Even so, where on earth it was the driest in the Atacama desert, which in fact have quite a lot of water content, which only receives an average rainfall per year for 0.01 cm. Some locations in the Atacama desert in fact has never rained during the 400 years! But some new facts to say that the driest places in the world is located in Antarctica, where the last time this continent received rainfall is a few million years ago!
