Lough Erne (Irish: Loch Éirne) refers to two lakes in Ireland, situated along the River Erne. This waterway is found in the North-west of Ireland, with the lakes located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The river flows in a north-westly direction, beginning by flowing north, and then curving west into the Atlantic. The southern-most lake is further up the river and so is named Upper Lough Erne. The northern lake is Lower Lough Erne.

Genoa (Italian Genova, Genoese Zena, French Gênes) is a city and a seaport in northern Italy, the capital of the Province of Genoa and of the region of Liguria. It has a population of ca. 650,000.

Genua was a city of the ancient Ligurians. Its name is probably Ligurian, meaning "knee" (from Proto-Indo-European *genu 'knee'), i.e. "angle", from its geographical position, thus akin to the name of Geneva. Alternatively, the name has been claimed to derive from Latin Janua ("gate"), the two-headed god Janus, or an ancient word that means "foreigners", as the early settlers were considered foreign by the neighbouring population.

The Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the largest of all penguins. Emperor Penguins eat crustaceans (such as krills), squid, and small fish. In the wild, Emperor Penguins typically have lived up to 20 years; some records indicate a maximum of 40. (Note that the King Penguin is a different species, and the Royal Penguin is a subspecies of the Rockhopper Penguin.)

Lake Itasca is a small glacial lake, approximately 1.8 square miles (4.7 square km) in area, in the Lake District of northwestern Minnesota in the United States. It is regarded as the source of the Mississippi River.

It is located in southwestern Clearwater County within Itasca State Park. It has an average depth of 20-35 feet (6-11 m).

Willem Barents (1550? -- June 30, 1597, Dutch name Barentsz) was a Dutch navigator and explorer, leader of early expeditions in far northern waters.

In 1594 he left Amsterdam with two ships to search for the Northeast passage to eastern Asia. He reached the west coast of Novaya Zemlya, and followed it northward, being finally forced to turn back when near its northern extremity.
