Did you try last week's question? It was answered on Thursday the 20Th as Roz crossed the International Date Line, or anitmeridian at a little before 4 in the afternoon Hawaii time while still a few days away from crossing the Equator. Go Roz. And now it is on to Tuvalu. Roz keeps saying that Tuvalu is an important symbol of climate change. Can you find out why? Do some research on line and post your answers in the comments section. What's so special about Tuvalu?

Will Roz cross the Antimeridian or the Equator?

This week's question has to do with Roz's position in the Pacific. As of Sunday, August 16th, her position is 1.47 North 178. 5 West. The Ecuador is just 75 miles away and the Antimeridian (180 degrees longitude) is about 100 miles away. Which will she cross first? When? Make your predictions using the comments section on the blog.
