Imax Field-trip


- George Mallory after 73 years on Everest

Mrs. Richards is so nice! I love her! I luckily get to go on field-trips with her and her class. For this field-trip, we got to go see 2 Imax's. The Wildest Dream and Lewis and Clark. My favorite one was the Everest one, because there is a lot of suspense, adventure, and heartbreak. But it is not for the faint of heart because at the beginning, they show the expedition to find George Mallory's body in 1999 and when they found it, it was perfectly preserved! All of his stuff was intact! When Anthony "Anker" Geffen found the body of Mallory, questions popped into his head. "I found his body 2,000 ft. below he was last sighted." "His picture of his wife, Ruth was not in his stuff. did he make it to the top?" (He promised Ruth that he would leave a picture of her at The Summit.) This Awesome movie shows how Anker and his partner, Leo Houlding try to prove that George Mallory and his partner could have made it to the summit.

The Lewis and Clark one was ok. It talked about the adventure of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. It tells you a lot of secrets that I bet you didn't know about Lewis and Clark. Like, the Tetons and the Shoshone almost forced the expedition to abandon. Twice! And that Sacajawea died a few years after the expedition but her son was raised by Clark and lived to be 61?

So, the moral of this post is that The Wildest Dream is a MUST SEE!!!! :)
