Amazon



The Amazon rainforest produces more than 20%
of the world's oxygen supply.
The Amazon River pushes so much water into the  Atlantic Ocean  that, more than one hundred miles at sea off the mouth of the river, one can dip fresh water out of the ocean.  The volume of water in the Amazon river is greater than the next eight largest rivers in the world combined and three times the flow of all rivers in the  United States .

Antarctica



Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country.
Ninety percent of the world's ice covers  Antarctica .
This ice also represents seventy percent of all the fresh water in the world.
As strange as it sounds, however,  Antarctica  is essentially a desert;
the average yearly total precipitation is about two inches.
Although covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it, ice.),
Antarctica is the driest place on the planet,
with an absolute humidity lower than the  Gobi  desert.
