the plant and those people evaluating and dealing with the consequences of the accident and operating the undamaged reactors. The Soviet (and later on, Russian) government evacuated about 115,000 people from the most heavily contaminated areas in 1986, and another 220,000 people in subsequent years. The Exclusion Zone • An area originally extending 30 kilometers (19 mi) in all directions from the plant is officially called the "zone of alienation". It is largely uninhabited, except for about 300 residents who have refused to leave. The area has largely reverted to forest, and has been overrun by wildlife because of a lack of competition with humans for space • Even today, radiation levels are so high that the workers responsible for rebuilding the sarcophagus are only allowed to work five hours a day for one month before taking 15 days of rest. Ukrainian officials estimate the area will not be safe for human life

the conservation of the Galapagos Islands ecosystems. The Charles Darwin Foundation exists to provide knowledge and support to ensure the conservation of the environment and biodiversity of the Galapagos Archipelago through scientific research and complementary actions. The Galapagos Islands remain well preserved as a natural environment in large part due National Park Rules. It is prohibited to transport any live material to the islands, or from island to island, not to take any food to the uninhabited islands, not to feed or touch the animals. It can be dangerous and in the long run would destroy the animals' social structure and breeding habits. The organisms that are in isolation from the human diaspora can evolve in unique ways. World opinion clearly states that Galapagos is of inestimable value to the world's culture and that its environment must be spared destruction.
nearby, assuming she would be accused of the murder. The monster concludes its story with a demand that Frankenstein create for it a female companion like itself. It argues that as a living thing, it has a right to happiness and that Victor, as its creator, has a duty to obey it, with the chilling words, "You are my creator, but I am your master. Obey!" It promises that if Victor grants its request, it and its mate will vanish into the wilderness of South America uninhabited by man, never to reappear. Fearing for his family, Victor reluctantly agrees and travels to England to do his work. He is accompanied by Clerval, but they separate in Scotland. Through their travels, Victor suspects that the monster is following him. Working on a second being on the Orkney Islands, he is plagued by premonitions of what his work might wreak, particularly as creating a mate for the creature might lead to the breeding of an entire race of monsters that could plague mankind

Landscape. Estonia's landscape is quite even. The last Ice Age made a big impact on the current relief and also the sea that covered the country once. The southern and central part of Estonia is hillier than the northern and western part. The northern and western parts are quite low. 50% of Estonia is covered with forests and 30% is covered with wetlands. Estonian landscape features numerous meteorite craters. The Endla Nature Reserve in Central Estonia is an uninhabited wetland covered in a variety of vegetation and fauna. It covers seven ancient bogs, zix slow- flowing rivers, five shallow lakes and over 30 springs. Pärnumaa means sun, sean and holidays. Pärnu is the summer capital of Estonia.

CANADA Geography Canada is the world's second largest country in total area after Russia , since it covers nearly 10 million square kilometres, but is one of the most sparsely populated, with only about 34 million inhabitants. The majority of them live within 300 kilometres of Canada's southern border. Much of the rest of Canada is uninhabited or thinly populated, because the country has a rugged terrain and severe climate. Canada extends across the continent of North America, from Newfoundland on the Atlantic coast to British Columbia on the Pacific coast and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Canada shares land borders with the United States to the south and north-west. Canada is a land of great variety. Towering mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and lush, green forests make Canada's far west a beautiful region
Agricolan invasion, identified 18 tribes in Scotland in his Geography, but many of the names are obscure and the geography becomes less reliable in the north and west, suggesting early Roman knowledge of these area was confined to observations from the sea. Geography of Scotland ! The geography of Scotland is highly varied, from rural lowlands to barren uplands, and from large cities to uninhabited islands. Located in northwest Europe, Scotland comprises the northern one third of the island of Great Britain and over 790 surrounding islands and archipelagoes. Scotland's only land border is with England, which runs for 96 kilometres (60 mi) in a northeasterly direction from the Solway Firth in the west to the North Sea on the east coast. Separated by the North Channel, the island of Ireland lies 30 kilometres (20 mi) from the southwest tip of the Scottish mainland. Norway is located
It is surrounded by the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean; the Gulf of Carpentaria, the Coral Sea, the Tasman Sea, the Australian Bight, the Timor Sea and Shark Bay. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the natural wonders of the modern world. It is located off the northeast coast of Australia. It's the largest coral reef on earth, extending for 2000 kilometres along the coast of Queensland. It consists of more than 600 islands. Most of the islands are uninhabited, but some have been developed as tourists resorts. Scientists estimate that the Reef is more than 30 millions years old and it had it beginning in a tiny animal known as polyp. There are more than 300 varieties of coral, which is a ultimate dream of every shell- collector. There are undersea observations, glass-bottomed boats and water scopes for undersea viewing, as well as skin-diving equipment. The Great Barrier Reef is and ideal place for a sunny holiday. The relief:
Because it lies in the Northeast part of Australia, its climate is mainly tropical. South Australia is famous as it is the region of fruit farming, vineyards and olive groves. Only the southern coast is fertile, most of the state is arid. Its capital is Adelaide, which is known for the Adelaide circuit. Western Australia is the biggest state in Australia. It is rich in deserts, as the central part of the state is practically a desert in whole and nearly uninhabited. On the other hand, the desert is important for its resources and mining. Western Australian capital is Perth with a population of 1.5 million people. Tasmania is the second most densely populated state. Its capital is Hobart, which is a fine Georgian city. Tasmania became the most popular settling region for Europeans due to favorable climate to them. There is also the Northern Territory, but it has a special status being under the authority of the central government of the Commonwealth.
3 Relief Australia is a flat and old continent. Its average height is 274 m above sea level. Its relief is pretty simple – plains cover the greater part of it. Basically one third of its area is covered by deserts and plains. Biggest deserts and plains are: the Great Sandy Desert, the Gibson Desert, the Great Victoria Desert and the Nullarbor Plain. They are also called as the Western Australian Shield. The Nullarbor Plain is an uninhabited limestone plateau. It is characterized by amazing cave and tunnel systems, which contain valuable information about ancient Australia. The east is the mountainous part of the country. There is The Great Dividing Range. It runs along the Pacific coast and finds it end in Tasmania. The mountains are old and worn down. The highest mountains on the Australian mainland are in an area known as the Australian Alps. They are a small part of the Great Dividing Range. The Highest Peak on the mainland
