Amazon river 'longer than Nile'

Main ideas

Scientists from Brazil and Peru are doing new and important researches to show the world that the largest river in the world is The Amazon, and not The Nilo as it´s said. Actually, the Amazon is 6,800km compared to the Nile that is 6,695km.

They said that they made and expedition and they discovered that in the North side of the river, in Peru the river begins in an ice-covered mountain in southern Peru called Mismi. I was a very difficult job for scientists because they had to be in very cold places and at an altitude of 5000m

Personal reaction

It`s something strange for me... let me tell you: honestly I had ever thought that the Nilo was the largest river! that´s why I have chosen that article because maybe someone is so ignorant as me! and I study Tourism! soooo saaaddd jejej

I think that those researches made by scientists are very important not just for stadisticals purposes, for example they are very important for tourism because turists want to visit "the largest river in the world" and the most important is that scientists have to try to give us the most exactly information

Julls.
