Why West Virginia Has a Massive "Dead Zone"
I want to show you why you should get the MyHeritage bundle. With my code, GEOFF25, you're not just getting an insane price on the DNA kit ($/£25). For the same exact price, you're also getting a 30-day free trial, free shipping, plus so much more. There's really no reason to pass up on this amazing bundle and settle for just a DNA kit. ??? https://bit.ly/GeographyByGeoff2

What if I told you that there’s a mountain that literally breathes ice deep into the sweltering summer months? Or that, despite its rugged, rural landscape, it’s home to a massive 13,000-square-mile zone where cell phones and Wi-Fi are strictly regulated by the federal government? Welcome to West Virginia, a state often associated just with coal and country roads, but one that is actually full of incredible historic and geographic significance.
