🌎 When north is south! Detroit is the only major city in the United States that is directly north of the Canadian border, meaning you have to travel south across the border to enter Canada at Windsor. 🙃

🌎 Geography lesson for future state makers: rivers make terrible borders over time! Rivers change over time and because of that we see portions of Arkansas and Mississippi extending over the river, which was never the intent.

🌎Geography fact of the day!🌍 France, who's capital is in Europe, shares borders with more than 6 other countries. But it's longest border is actually with Brazil due to it wholly owning and governing French Guiana! The France-Brazil border is over 450 miles long.

🌏Geography fact of the day! Asia's "great lake" the Aral Sea was once the 4th largest lake in the world. But the Soviet Union/Russia diverted water for irrigation projects which has reduced it to a fraction of its original size.

🌎 Another Geography fact of the day (since I missed yesterday): Singapore, Monaco, and Vatican City make up the only three modern day city-states in the world. Vatican City, where the pope lives, is technically an independent country living entirely within the city of Rome and is only one half of a square kilometer.

Geography fun fact of the day: Anchorage, Alaska is closer to Berlin than Washington D.C. due to Anchorage's closeness to the north pole! Traditional maps often make it appear much farther away.
