Which is longer, Amazon or Nile? New quest aims to settle old debate

The question has fueled a heated debate for years. Now, an expedition into the South American jungle aims to settle it for good. Using boats powered by solar energy and pedal power, an international team of explorers plans to set off in April 2024 to definitively establish the source of the Amazon in the Peruvian Andes, then travel nearly 7,000 kilometers (4,350 miles) across Colombia and Brazil, to the massive river’s mouth on the Atlantic.
