My next stop is the Ural Mountains. They are in Russia. The capital of Russia is Moscow. Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and china all border Finland. The Arctic ocean is the closest ocean. The GPS coordinates are, 60 N and 60 E. There is lots of trees there. The mountain is sort of a crescent moon shape. The mountain wascalled, the great stone belt in Russian history and folklore. The Urals were named after a tribe called the Uralians. They were native to north Asia. It is 3,960 miles from Mt. McKinley. The ticket price was 2,054 dollars. I left Juneau at 12:50pm and arrive in Seattle at 4:16pm. I was in Seattle for 2 hours and 34 minutes. So I went to a restaurant to eat supper. I left Seattle at 6:50pm and landed in London at 11:50am. Just in time for lunch. I was in London for an hour and ten minutes. I took off at 1:00pm and got to Moscow at 8:05pm. The trip took 19 hours and 15 minutes.

I am going to MT. McKinley. It is in Alaska. The capital of alaska is Juneau. Canada borderes Alaska. Gulf of Alaska, Chuckchi Sea, Beufort Sea, and the Bearing Sea surround Alaska. The GPS coordinates are 63°4′10″N 151°0′26″W. The climate of MT. McKinley is very cold it can get to -75 degrees. Alaska is very snowy. The indians named it Denali which means ''high one''. It is important because it is the highest mountain in north America. I know that because it is 2o,320 feet tall.
