My last swamp I visited is called Pripet marshes. I know it says marshes, but it's really the largest swamp in Europe. It's in Poland which is surrounded by Ukraine, Germany and Norway. The capital of Poland is Minsk. There are no major bodies of water close to Poland, but the North Atlantic Ocean isn't too far away. The GPS coordinates are 51° 48′ 55″ N, 24° 57′ 10″ E. The climate is cool with lots of precipitation. This swamp looks like the trees are farther above the water. There isn't much grass, and the water is very green. The swamp was discovered in 1872 and is important to all of the many animals that live there. Poland is 4,480 miles from Botswana. I flew a plane to get here, which cost $730. The rental car was $48, and hotel was $74. I felt like I learned a lot about the world while I was away on this trip, not only about landforms, but cultures and different people. The most important thing I learned is about swamps and what they looked like, I never knew that the swamps had so many species of animals living there. My family was excited to see me, and they were proud that I had a good experience.
