"nathasha`s no ..." a Northern Mariana Islands Travel Page by nathasha

how it all started? well, since the ancient romans.....hehe ;))

no truly, since i learned already at the elementary school, always fascinated by geography lessons, that in the pacific ocean there is the deepest point on earth, the mariana trench, at 11,033 meters (36,201 feet), i have been extremely fascinated by the islands!!! in finnish language it`s called `mariaanien hauta` lit. the grave of marianas, enough to bewild a little girl`s imagination on fascination of danger and mystery.....what kind of world exists there in such depth and darkness, where pressure at the deepest part of the trench is over 8 tons per square inch?

go &dive into the lagoon and be my true self once again, merge with the dolphins, mermaids and manta rays :)))

how perfect!!! lonely planet`s guide on southern pacific is issued as a new edition in october 2003 :))
