塞班島 - 維基百科，自由的百科全書. 坐标： 塞班岛（Saipan），美國北马里亚纳群岛邦的首府，北马里亚纳群岛中面積最大的島，也是邦內近九成人口所在地。 该岛为珊瑚岛，沿西海岸有潟湖，山脉南北延伸。 最高點塔波查山（Mount Tagpochau）海拔479米。 地理[编辑] 塞班島位于北緯15.25度，東經145.75度，即關島北方200公里處。 塞班南方（與關島之間）還有北马里亚纳的羅塔島和天寧島兩個有人島嶼，但塞班北方十多個島人口寥寥無幾。 塞班島面积120平方公里，2000年人口普查數62,392人，其中一萬多為華裔。 歷史[编辑] 塞班島在十六世紀到十九世紀被西班牙統治，馬里亞納群島的原住民查莫羅人曾被西班牙殖民者強遷關島。 1899年美西戰爭後西班牙戰敗，美國從西班牙佔領並買下關島，但對密克羅尼西亞地區其他島嶼沒有興趣。 1944年6月15日美國海軍陸戰隊從島南端登陸，與守軍血戰三週，擊潰守軍，史稱「塞班島戰役」（Battle of Saipan）。 1947年，聯合國授權成立太平洋島嶼託管地（Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands），由美國管治，並以塞班為首府。 社會與經濟[编辑] 由於「盟約」規定北马里亚纳擁有海關、出入境管理和最低工資的自治權，輸美產品也可免關稅和標籤「美國製造」，成衣製造業1980年代在塞班迅速發展，全盛時期（2000年前後）僱用外國勞工（以中國大陸女子為主力）一萬多人。
塞班島另一項經濟主力是旅遊業。 塞班島的農業方面，雖不及旅遊業和外勞的經濟實力，但在區內相對算較發達，盛产椰子、甘蔗、水稻、香蕉、木薯等。 马里亚纳步行街 近年發展[编辑] 鳄鱼头海滩 隨著日本經濟衰退，塞班旅遊業也受打擊，尤其是在2005年日本航空撤出塞班國際機場之後。 製衣業方面，2005年起世界貿易組織關稅制度改變，令塞班競爭力逐漸降低，製衣廠紛紛遷往他國或倒閉，至2007年中只剩全盛時期一半。 2008年，美國國會通過俗稱「聯邦化」（federalization）的法律，定於2009年6月1日全面接管北馬里亞納群島的出入境管理權。 據美國國土安全部2009年1月公佈，中國大陸和俄羅斯暫未能列入免簽名單上。 电信通讯[编辑] 北馬里亞納群島電話區號屬北美國號+1，區號670。 自由亚洲电台、加拿大国际广播电台发射站[编辑] 塞班岛塔波查山上的短波发射站 參考[编辑] 海洋師團 外部連結[编辑] Pelagie Islands. The Pelagie Islands (Italian: Isole Pelagie, Sicilian: Ìsuli Pilaggî), from the Greek πέλαγος, pélagos meaning "open sea", are the three small islands of Lampedusa, Linosa, and Lampione, located in the Mediterranean Sea between Malta and Tunisia, south of Sicily. To the northwest lie the island of Pantelleria and the Strait of Sicily. Geographically part of the archipelago (Lampedusa and Lampione) belongs to the African continent;[1] politically and administratively the islands fall within the Sicilian province of Agrigento and represent the southernmost part of Italy.
Despite pockets of agriculture, the islands are unnaturally barren due to wanton deforestation and the disappearance of the native olive groves, juniper and carob plantations. Fifty years ago[when?] Much of the landscape was farmland bounded by dry stone walls but today, the local economy is based on fishing - sponge fishing and canning - supplemented by tourism in Lampedusa.

Venice seen from ship Photography of Venice at dusk Venice view from the Bridge Foscari, to the Bridge Santa Margherita. Venice (English /ˈvɛnɪs/; Italian: Venezia [veˈnɛttsia] ( )[1] alternative obsolete form: Vinegia; Venetian: Venexia [veˈnɛsja]; Latin: Venetia; Slovene: Benetke) is a city in northeastern Italy sited on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges.[2] It is located in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline, between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers.
The name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the 10th century BC.[4][5] The city historically was the capital of the Republic of Venice. History Origins Beginning in 166-168, the Quadi and Marcomanni destroyed the main center in the area, the current Oderzo. In 751, the Lombard King Aistulf conquered most of the Exarchate of Ravenna, leaving Venice a lonely and increasingly autonomous Byzantine outpost. Expansion. The Town With No Roads.

New York City. Catatumbo River. The Catatumbo River (Spanish: Río Catatumbo) is a river rising in northern Colombia, flowing into Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. The Catatumbo River is approximately 210 miles (338 km) long. It forms a part of the international boundary between the two countries. Catatumbo lightning[edit] The "Relámpago del Catatumbo" or "Faros del Catatumbo" (Catatumbo lightning) is a phenomenon that occurs over the marshlands at the Lake Maracaibo mouth of the river, where lightning storms occur for about 10 hours a night, 140 to 160 nights a year, for a total of about 1.2 million lightning discharges per year.
The light from this storm activity can be seen up to 400 km away and has been used for ship navigation; it is also known as the "Maracaibo Beacon" for this reason.[1] References[edit] Jump up ^ "Fire in the Sky". Coordinates:
