AT SEA- Luanda, Africa -

AT SEA -
We are about half-way to Walvis Bay, Namibia, a 1673 mile trip from Sao Tome. It will take until Friday 3/31 to get there (3 days).

Ocean- There is a lot of it!
It occupies 71% of the Earths surface, covers 310 million cubic miles, with an average depth of 12,080 feet

Just the Pacific is 60,060,700 square miles, equal to the size of the land area on Earth (and its twice the size of the Atlantic)

The Oceans are the key to life- Providing more than half the oxygen we breathe, controlling our climate (regulating CO2 in the atmosphere, storing the carbon we create) and therefore our weather, our storms and our rising sea levels. There are 230,000 known species in the ocean, although we have only explored 10% of the oceans. Lots more to explore.Leer más
