Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are worthless. You have to solve the riddles for SnowBean’s great adventure to find the true coordinates. To solve the riddle, you have to use the code: A=1, B=2, C=3…I=9. Find the first letter of the name of the locations where the SnowBean was at. For example, if W was Atlantis, then W=A which in turn A =1 (this is NOT the case btw). This is my first puzzle cache so forgive me if it is a bit confusing.

The true coordinates are as follows:
N 42 53.WYZ
W 76 00.WXY

W = The name of the body of water where SnowBean sailed the ocean blue. It is located south of Asia, west of Australia, North of Antarctica, and east of Africa.

X = The country where SnowBean participated in an archeological dig to find relics related to “Lucy”. This is believed to be one of the oldest countries on earth.

Y = Took an ice core sample 2km thick on an island located in the north Atlantic. He donated this core sample for scientific study. 80% of this island is covered by this one massive glacier and it is the largest island in the world.

Z = Backpacked in Syote National Park which is located in this country. He fell asleep under the gentle green glow of the Northern Lights in the backcountry of a beautiful arctic spruce forest.

Congratulations to LCSM for FTF! Sorry if it was too easy, I may have to place another one that is more of a challenge!
