For school I had an assignment to label what parts of the world are home to certain famous mountains. As I labeled them, I realized that the servers on Animal Jam are named after a lot of these mountains! They're also named after rivers that we hear about in the Bible! So in this post, I'm going to be showing what these server names actually look like in the real world. So, with the help of Animal Jam and Google (XD), let's get started!

The first one might be pretty unexpected as being a real life place. Lo and behold...
I was completely shocked that Aldan is a real life place. It's actually called the Aldan river, and is located in Russia!
The more you know, right? Aldan looks like a beautiful place, with a river in the front, and mountains in the back. I'd totally love to visit there some day!
Next up being,
Chimbu! Kinda a unique name, but let's take a look at where this place is located.
Chimbu is located in Papua New Guinea, and it actually a province. But it is home to the tallest mountain in Papua New Guinea!
Let's take a look at Elbe! Is that even a real place? XD
And sure enough it is! It's a river located in central Europe, right near Germany. Looks like it runs right through a town, and from the picture almost looks like a huge road going right through it. That'd be so cool to live somewhere like that, with the water right outside your door! (Or who knows, it could be the most frightening thing ever since I still don't know how to swim 😳)
Desna is probably my all time favorite server, because there's so many great memories I have of roleplaying with Coolcat there. Of course, every server is basically the same, but there's something special about this one. There was hardly any people ever there, so we always went to Desna. Let's look at the real life Desna!
First a soccer team popped up, and I knew that probably wasn't the Desna AJHQ was naming this off of... So I saw Desna River pop up, so I searched for that. And boom.
This river is another river in Europe, and is 702.1 miles long! That's super long, and I didn't know rivers could even be that long.
Let's take a look at one more!
I know most people know that this is a mountain in Europe, but I thought we should take a look at this!
The Alps are so beautiful, and I'd love to go to some of the famous mountains like the Alps, Matterhorn, and Mount Everest!

What places would you like to visit, that AJHQ named their servers after? Let me know!
It's always fun looking up these places, and doing a blog post with the information I find. But always remember to stay safe on the internet! You never know what you could come across, especially on Google. One bad image could totally ruin your fun. I know while doing this I ran into something bad, which is always upsetting. If you're going to do something like this, it helps filter your results if you look at what other people have searched, because it normally will say stuff like, "Desna River", or whatever. And only search things using your parents permission! Stay safe guys. :)

Here's todays Bible verse!
Proverbs 2:11
Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe.
God made you. Uniquely. Beautifully. Intentionally. Purposefully. Wonderfully.
Ah its cool to get a better perspective on what the places were named after.
