On 18th November.1908, three men went up in a balloon (气球).They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand, but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing, so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797kilometres from London!
We've created a handbook you can download here. It answers many of the questions parents and campers have about DEC Summer Camp. As you've already signed up your kid for this camp, you can check your email box for a copy of the handbook as well. Please review it and get in touch with us at 569-985 if you have questions. About ten people share a wood cabin, including a coach and a camp volunteer. A general bath house is within 200 feet of each cabin. The size of a cabin may not be the same. 1. Money: Spending money is NOT needed at camp with no place to spend it. Money and all valuables should remain at home. 2. Electronics: Electronics like mobile phones and digital games are NOT allowed at camp. These will be taken away and returned to the camper when the camp ends. Generally, campers get up at 7:00 am and have an early bird activity like swimming or fishing. After breakfast, there are activities until lunch. These may include environmental lessons or biology experiments. A wildlife biologist may guide the campers. After lunch, there are more activities, such as hiking, boating, or field trips. Preparations for an overnight hike or hunter education classes are other possibilities. Taking a night walk, star watching, playing games and listening to stories around a campfire are among the choices for the night. |
