And, of course, the United States does have DST, unless you live in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Marianas Islands or, as mentioned before Hawaii and Arizona.
We joke that Guam's highest mountain, Mt. Lan Lan is actually the highest mountain in the world if you count off from its base which is in the Marianas trench, the lowest part of the world.
The names of these islands became well-known: Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands. Truk in the Marshall Islands. Saipan in the Marianas, and other islands including Guam and Tinian.
The Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench is the deepest point in the world that we're aware of so far, plunging nearly 11 kilometers beneath the waves.
LeMay said after he took over the air assets in the Marianas, quote, this outfit has been getting a lot of publicity without having really accomplished a hell of a lot in bombing results, end quote.
So cool fact about me, I actually used to live on the Marianas Islands, which is this tiny little group of islands way out in the Pacific Ocean by Japan.
From April 20th to July 10th, NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is on a mission to explorethe Marianas Trench in the western North Pacific Ocean.
The idea that the commanders of the American air assets in the Marianas are in trouble for not doing more damage to Japan, not being more effective, gives you an idea, though, of what the priorities are.
