Happy New Year!
As we begin 2023, we are always pleasantly amazed by small facts of wonder and the growing success of our students. You may be wondering why there is a map of California above. Well, are you aware that Los Angeles is typically considered a “West Coast” city? One can make the argument that Reno, Nevada, is as well. Based on the curvature of the earth and the geographical structure of California, if you follow a straight line down on the map from Reno, Nevada, you will see that Reno is farther west than Los Angeles; it’s just not along the coastline of the ocean.
These small wonderments also impress us with the success of our students. It may take some time to develop, and it may not happen as quickly as we would like, but our students succeed with consistency, a great staff, and a solid program curriculum. We look forward to an impressive year of awesome discoveries and progress by our students.
Now, can you tell us why Denmark, which is 3884 air miles away from Canada, is considered one of the closest countries to Canada?
Answer: Hans Island, a barren, uninhabited island located in the Arctic passage sitting within the territorial waters of both Canada and Greenland (which is a province of Denmark), had been a source of dispute between the two countries, with both claiming the island as their own since the 1970s. In 2022, a land boundary between Canada and Denmark was established by geographically splitting the island in two. Both countries claimed half the island as their own, making them bordering neighbors.
Everyone at the Warren Glen Academy wishes you a Happy New Year with new discoveries and wonderment.
