Atlantis is the oldest and most famous of the world’s nonexistent continents. Consider this: No space shuttle was ever named ‘Lemuria’.

I'm twenty and I'm crazy. Fangirl, scientist and writer. I'm at college in Boston right now, but New York will always be my home. Likes archeology, astronomy, space travel, history, superhero comics, general science, the oceans, Star Wars, aviation, exploration/geography, mysteries and Disney. (Which is where my title comes from...)
