The Seven Continents
The Earth contains seven primary continents, and all of primary continents have multiple geographical regions and each of these regions have multiple sub-regions. In fact, the variety of the land areas upon this earth is so vast, that no one, given the short life span that man is limited to now could ever see and experience this vast variety in a lifetime, nor even in two or three lifetimes. The continents in the menu to the left are listed alphabetically.
In the ongoing travel across this land, we (the wayƒarers here now) must take time to camp overnight under the star filled skies. At these rest stops, we often look up into the night sky and marvel at the many wonders. At times, a meteorite will race across the darkness, brightening the sky only briefly and then return the night sky to the silent nocturnal stillness as before. Then, we must needs get horizontal and close our eyes for the nights rest.
Upon awaking on the dawn, we partake of our f-meal, after which, we resume our Journey On once again, traversing through canyons, gorges and great valleys, explore caves and caverns, cross basins and great deserts, wend our way through old growth forest and great wilderness areas. At times, we ascend to a mountain summits, then down the pathway to ford a rivers. Later, we stand on the shore of great lakes and/or seas, walk near to volcanos and even paddle into vast waterway wildernesses.
Sometimes our wandering brings us near to sublime natural rock formation, those hewn by rain and wind through eons of time, amazing formations such as rock arches, natural bridges, massive hoodoos, natural gravity defying rocks, massive asteroid craters, and oh, so much more.
Too, we always enjoy stopping at the next natural hot spring pools, of which we have our favorite stops, but as we traverse this land, we also stop to view the geysers, mud pots, steam vents, waterfalls, monuments and vast park lands.
Then, at the end of our day of traversing upon this vast land, we set up our camp, prepare out e-meal and before we partake of its nourishment, we bow our head in prayer and give thanks to the Most High God above for all of his many gifts He has bestowed upon us here on the earth. (Psalms 83:18)
Order of Continents
Below, in the subsequent sections, the seven continents are listed in alphabetical order, each with a brief description about the continent, links to appropriate details about that continent, and one photo, of which I may or may not have personally take. All photos have a footnote with the name of the owner and the location where I have found that photo.
This Continental Regions Index is here in its place first, for me, the author of this website, to be able to learn of the vastness and variety of the lands, which are the creation of my God, the most High God, whose name is Jehovah. (Psalms 83:18)
