Geography: Samoa and Ukraine

Samoa:

The beautiful country of Samoa is found in the Southern part of the Pacific Ocean, which is about 2,200 mi South of Hawaii. The larger islands, Upolu and Sarai'i, are both mountainous and volcanic origins. 8 smaller islands are located about halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand in the Polynesian area. Samoa is officially the independent state of Samoa, formally known as Western Samoa (Confusing, huh?)

Ukraine:

Ukraine, the largest country in all of Europe, is very much diverse and has many interesting geographic features. For example, the mountains (Carpathian Mts) stretch ACROSS western Ukraine is bordered by the waters of the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, but major rivers include Desna, Dnieper, and etc. This just shows how much Ukraine has to show!
