So stop one is leading me to 2 areas, 1 has a bit of
controversy about it and the second looks interesting.
From First Stop I’m heading North West about 1.5 hours to
one of the locations identified as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. For those of you not familiar with it, it’s
what it sounds like. This link takes you
to the Wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_garbage_patch
Now where the controversy comes in is the fact that since
it’s not always locatable, because it moves and because it’s never been found
by satellite that it’s not as big as thought.
No matter if it is real or not, we as a society should be working to
save Earth and the creatures on it. So
please cut those soda can plastic holders up, dispose of your trash correctly
and above all recycle first.
Back to First Stop and back toward the nearest landmass,
Guadalupe Island.
For those of my followers that are fans of Shark week, I’m
sure Guadalupe Island is known to you.
It has been a seal sanctuary since 1975, drawing the sharks. The weather year round has a median temp of
around 65 degrees F and has attracted many groups to study the biosphere
reserve that the Mexican Government has set up.
But really unless you are a scientist studying seal or shark habits or
just a lover of either this area really is stark.
And the next stop is…Lake Eyre in South Australia.
