Tallinn The first traces of human settlement found in Tallinn's city center by archeologists are about 5000 years old. In 1050 the first fortress was built on Tallinn Toompea.[3] In 1285 the city became the northernmost member of the Hanseatic League.

black tea. History of tourism in Kashmir The state of Jammu & Kashmir is a region of widely varying people and geography. In the south, Jammu is a transition zone from the Indian plains to the Himalayas. Nature has lavishly endowed Kashmir with certain distinctive features that are paralleled by few alpine regions in the world. It is the land of snow clad mountains that shares a common boundary with Afghanistan, China and Pakistan. Jammu and Kashmir is the northernmost state of the Indian Union. Known for its extravagant natural beauty this land formed a major caravan route in ancient times.
Estonia is divided into 15 counties which are divided in turn into 207 rural municipalities and 47 towns. The Republic of Estonia, the northernmost and smallest of the three Baltic countries, is located on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea in the north-east of Europe. Lying between East and West, it has served as junction of international trade routes for centuries. Moreover, Estonian neighbours are Russia and Latvia. Estonia is accessible, both from a logistical and social point of view - Tallinn is within 3 hours flight from major European capitals and the power distance is very low

The state is bordered by the Yukon Territory and British Columbia in Canada, to the east, the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean to the south, the Bering Sea, Bering Strait, and Chukchi Sea to the west and the Arctic Ocean to the north. With the extension of the Aleutian Islands into the eastern hemisphere, it is technically both the westernmost and easternmost state in the United States, as well as also being the northernmost Alaska is the largest state in the United States in land area at 586,412 (square miles), over twice the size of Texas, the next largest state. Alaska is larger than all but 18 sovereign countries. Counting territorial waters, Alaska is larger than the combined area of the next three largest states: Texas, California, and Montana. It is also larger than the combined area of the 22 smallest U.S. states. 3 Natural features
Tallinn`s first fortress was built in Toompea, in 1050. As an important port for trade between Russia and Scandinavia, it became a target for the expansion of the Teutonic Knights and the Kingdom of Denmark during the period of Northern Crusades in the beginning of the 13th century when Christianity was forcibly imposed on the local population. Danish rule of Tallinn and Northern Estonia started in 1219. In 1285 the city became the northernmost member of the Hanseatic League - a military alliance of German-dominated cities inNorthern Europe. The Danes sold Tallinn along with their other land possessions in northern Estonia to the Teutonic Knights in 1346. Medieval Tallinn enjoyed a strategic position at the crossroads of trade between Western and Northern Europe and Russia. The city, with a population of 8,000, was very well fortified with city walls and 66 defence towers.
Topic Estonia, Tallinn The Republic of Estonia is the northernmost of the three Baltic States on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. To the east Estonia borders on Russia and Lake Peipsi and on the south on Latvia. The area of Estonia is 45 100km2, its coastline is 774km long. The geography of the land is surprisingly varied. Islands make up 9,2 per cent of Estonian's total territory, the largest islands are Saaremaa, Hiiumaa and Vormsi. The highest point is Suur Munamägi, which is 317m high. Estonia has a surprisingly mild climate for an area so far north
The beach is popular with local surfers, as well as wedding parties. 10. Ninety Mile Beach, Northland-While the name Ninety Mile Beach is actually a misnomer (it's really only 55 miles long, and New Zealanders use kilometers rather than miles), it is justly a top tourist destination for its staggering beauty. With sand dunes reminiscent of a desert landscape, it stretches from just west of Kaitaia right to Cape Reinga, the northernmost tip of New Zealand. Golden sands and impressive breakers alongside the magical Aupouri Forest make this perhaps the most famous beach in New Zealand -- it's certainly the biggest. The long stretch of beach is best accessed from Ahipara township at the southernmost point of the beach. Follow Sandhill Road north with various access points dotted along the way.
family to have an island or lake of its own, with plenty of space for visitors too. Inland lakes cover almost 10 percent of the country`s entire area. None of Finland`s lakes are very deep, however; most of them averae around 100m (330ft). (www.wikipedia.org) Position and size Finland is made up of 11 provinces and the autonomous land Islands. It lies on the same latitude as Iceland, and one quarter of the country is inside the Artis Circle. Its northernmost point is at 70°5`, the southernmost at 59° 30` (on the same latitude as Oslo), the westerly point at 19°7`and the easternmost at 31°35` (on the same line of Longitude as Ankara). The country covers a total surface area of 338,000sq km (130,550sq miles), and its coastline is some 4,600km (2,760 miles) long. (Finland: Insight compact guides) 2 Climate
In AD 985 Vikings sailing from Iceland to Greenland were blown westward off their course and the Vikings sighted the coast of Labrador peninsula. The report of forested areas encouraged further exploration because the colonies in Greenland which belonged to the Vikings lacked lumber. In AD 1000 Leif Ericson became the first European to land in North America. The first colony was established what was described as Vinland by the Vikings. It was located on the northernmost tip of todays Newfoundland. There has also been a theory that the Vikings penetrated Hudson Bay and reached the Great Lakes region but recent investigations have cast serious doubt on it. The Greenland colony died out during the 15th century and the Viking adventures in Canada must have come to an end long before that time. The Colony of New France By 1600 French interest in Canada was renewed because of the beaver pelt trade and the fishing industry
1848 by Friedrich Pacius. The Estonian language words were written by J. V. Jannsen. It was officially adopted after the War of Independence in 1920.The same melody with different words is also Finland's national anthem. The current coat of arms of Estonia is a golden shield which includes three slim, blue leopards (or lions) in the middle, with oak branches along the side of the shield. It originates from Denmark. It was officially adopted in 1925. Geography Estonia is the northernmost of the three Baltic States. It is located on the northern hemisphere on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea in the north-east of Europe. It has land contact with Russia from the east and Latvia from the south. In the north The Gulf of Finland separates Estonia from Finland. The Gulf of Riga is situated to the south-west. Estonia has more than 1500 islands. The biggest ones are located to the west. The four biggest islands are Saaremaa, Hiiumaa, Vormsi and Muhu.
areas producing fruit, vegetables, and dairy products. The North includes the Yukon Territory and the Northwest territories, along with all of Canada's Arctic islands. Much of the North is treeless tundra. In the summer months, there is no darkness; the sun never sets. In winter it is so cold that the earth is frozen for most of the year and never thaws more than half a metre from the surface. Only simple plants called lichens grow on the northernmost islands. The North is home to indigenous peoples, and to a great variety of wildlife including caribou and polar bears. Canada has an extremely large number of lakes, the largest of them are Great Slave Lake and Great Bear Lake. The two principal river systems are the Mackenzie and the St Lawrence. Canada's climate helps explain why there are so few people in so big a land. Northern Canada has short, cool summers and long cold winters

spread from there throughout the northern edge of North America and back into Siberia. This is possible but not established. Many scientists believe the Inuit migrated to North America across the Bering Strait from Arctic Siberia. Until recently, outsiders called the Inuit "Eskimo", but as it is seen as a derogatory term, they now prefer their own term, "Inuit," meaning simply "people." 7. When did the Inuit get their own territory? What is it called? Nunavut is the largest, northernmost and newest territory of Canada. From 1991, it has been the territory of the Inuit, Nunavut meaning "our land". It was separated officially from the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999, via the Nunavut Act and the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act. Nunavut comprises a major portion of Northern Canada, and most of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is the only geo-political region of Canada that is not connected to the rest of North America by highway. Nunavut is
