THE AMAZON
The Amazon rainforest constitutes over half of the planet's remaining rainforest. The Amazon River is the life force of the forest, rising in the Peruvian Andes and winding its way east over the northern half of South America until reaching the Atlantic Ocean.
The Amazon carries the highest volume of water into the ocean than the top ten largest rivers flowing into the ocean combined. Recent studies claims that the Amazon is actually longer than the Nile using Mount Mismi in Arequipa, which was labeled by the National Geographic Society as the Amazonīs source, these scientist have made new calculations of the Amazon length and estimates that is 65 miles longer than the Nile.
