Visit All Seven Continents

Add to My List Check Off

70% of our globe is covered by water. The other 30% that is considered land and supportive of human life is primarily located on the Seven Continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. Each of the Earth’s continents contains wondrous natural treasures, tantalizing geography, unique cultures and unfathomable man-made testaments to our existence. The desire to explore the great divisions of our world has been part of man’s makeup since the beginning of time. As recently as the 18thcentury it was thought there were only 4 continents. North and South America were then considered to be separate and unique with Australia and Antarctica added to the list in the 19th century. The most populated continent, Asia, holds over half of the world’s population on less than 30% of its hard surface. The least populated, Antarctica, has only about 1,000 full time residents in nearly 10% of the global landmass. No two continents are alike; all offer the opportunity of providing memories that will last a lifetime. Theoretically, it would be possible to visit all of the continents in a single “day” given the impact of time zones with great forethought and planning and a little luck. A more worthwhile pursuit would be to visit each of the Seven Continents in a lifetime with an opportunity to absorb the rich and unique experiences each has to offer. The goal for each dreamer may be different: to visit important archeological sites; climb the tallest mountain; visit the lowest point below sea level; play the most famous golf courses; surf or run in a marathon; cruise into the most famous harbors; whatever your passion dictates. Chances are you have a couple of the Seven Continents already checked off your list. Add the one’s you have yet to visit and start dreaming about what it would mean to you to be able to say you had visited them all.
