With a gift of $25.00 we are able to help a family gain access to all the resources available for their recovery.Anna is saving her money to purchase a home and plans on donating to Northwest Compass in the future.ĭetailed below are examples of how your gift directly supports and advances the mission of Northwest Compass to help individuals receive the care and support needed: Today, Anna is working at a hospital and simultaneously obtaining a degree in business management.

She also received immediate food support through the Northwest Compass Food Connection program. Anna knew she needed help and approached numerous social services organizations before meeting the staff at Northwest Compass who found an apartment for Anna and her baby. Anna was able to stay with her brother for a little while but had to leave when his family moved to a new community. Things changed when Anna became a single mother in need of a place to live a month after giving birth to her son. Anna was the kind of person who would work a second job if she needed something extra. With your help, neighbors like Anna turn crisis into opportunity.Īnna was always proud of the fact she was able to provide for herself. That means that when water from the Greenland Sea meets the Irminger Sea water, it slides right down through it to the bottom of the ocean.As the holidays approach and we seek the comfort and security of those we care about, we invite you to reflect upon those in need in our community and most importantly, how your support offers stability, empowerment and hope for a stronger tomorrow for our neighbors.

Since the molecules in the cold water are less active and take up less space than in warm water, they are packed together more tightly, making colder water denser. The Denmark Strait cataract is formed by the difference in temperature between the ultra-cold Arctic waters of the Greenland Sea meeting those of the slightly warmer Irminger Sea. It's easy to picture an ocean as a giant bathtub that sloshes around with the tides, but seawater is actually very dynamic waters of different temperatures and salinities - and, therefore, densities - are always interacting on large and small scales. The most astonishing thing about the Denmark Strait cataract isn't, perhaps, how it got to be so tall and mighty, but that an undersea waterfall can exist at all. For instance, Angel Falls in Venezuela, the tallest waterfall above sea level, is three times shorter than the Denmark Strait cataract, and Niagara Falls carries 2,000 times less water, even during peak flows. It plunges 11,500 feet (3,505 meters) straight down from the Greenland Sea into the Irminger Sea, carrying around 175 million cubic feet (5 million cubic meters) of water per second - dwarfing any giant waterfall you could find on land. Located in the little slice of ocean between Greenland and Iceland, the gigantic waterfall known as the Denmark Strait cataract is 100 miles (160 kilometers) wide. There are no rainbows at all, in fact, and that's because the Denmark Strait cataract is entirely underwater. There's no overlook, there will be no oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over the rainbows in the cataract spray. Sorry, you can't go visit the world's tallest waterfall. Waves crash in the Denmark Strait below the body of water's surface lies the world's largest waterfall.
