Passengers tell of terror as cruise ship battered by nine-metre waves Reuters

Concepts of Thinking: Spatial Significance, Geographic Perspective

Inquiry: How could such a storm appear without warning? Why didn't the ship avoid the storm by sailing around it?

Activity: Map out the route of a few cruise ships in ArcGIS Online (What is where?). Add in some interesting data about the location (Why there?) . Input some climatic data to and plan the route for the cruise ship that will keep it safe (Why care?).
