Geography is the study of the Earth, its features, and of the distribution of life on the Earth. Although cartography (map making) is a important component of geography, perhaps the greatest contribution is felt through the role of analysts of some of the most pressing natural resource and environmental issues of our world.
Mount Ararat is a volcanic mountain located in eastern Turkey, and one of the largest by volume in the world, rising to 5,165 meters or 16,945 feet. Above 14,000 feet, much of the surface is covered by an ice cap that is about 17 square miles in size and is up to 300 feet deep.
Although there are hundreds of mountains in the region, many people believe that Mt. Ararat is the place where Noah's Ark landed following the global flood. This assumption is based on the simple fact that it is the highest peak in that region, and the Biblical account states that the ark came to rest in the mountains of Ararat a full 2.5 months before the tops of the mountains were visible. This account of its landing strongly suggests a moorage upon the highest point at the time.

Creation Geography
- Creationist groups - assist the efforts of creationist organizations by writing descriptive articles that detail their location and activities.
- Geology sites - descriptions of sites of interest in flood geology.
- Biblical archaeology sites - descriptions of sites of interest Biblical archaeology.
International Outreach - Spanish, Korean, German, Hebrew, Polish, French, and Chinese versions of the CreationWiki are currently under construction. You could help these efforts greatly by translating existing English articles into these languages.

"It is therefore legitimate to say that, in respect of that part of the Old Testament against which the disintegrating criticism of the last half of the nineteenth century was chiefly directed, the evidence of archaeology has been to reestablish its authority and likewise to augment its value by rendering it more intelligible through a fuller knowledge of its background and setting. Archaeology has not yet said its last word, but the results already achieved confirm what faith would suggest – that the Bible can do nothing but gain from an increase in knowledge." - Sir Frederic Kenyon, a former director of the British Museum, The Bible and Archaeology (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1940), page 279.
