Abby Sunderland, a teen explorer!

16 year old Abby Sunderland is on a journey of a lifetime right now.....SOLO!  She has had the dream of sailing around the world since she was 13, and she's in the process of chasing her dream right now!  Use these sites to follow her progress and ask questions.  This is an excellent example to start learning about longitude, latitude, circumnavigation, past explorers and their routes, reading maps, and more.  She is truly a brave soul and can be a great role model for your students.
