Marvel at the Magnificent Marble Caves [35 PICS] Can you imagine something happening that would endanger these exquisite azure caverns? It might if Chile continues with plans to build five hydro-power dams in Patagonia. Photo #7 by © Jorge Leon Cabello The water has eroded the marble to create cavities and marble caves. There are different color shades, depending on the contents’ impurities. There are white banks of great purity, but it is also possible to find blue and pink marble banks due to the presence of other minerals. Amazing geological formations on Chilean side of Lake Carrera. It would be a real shame if the hydro-power dams damage the lake and the marble caves on top of the surrounding natural habitats for wildlife. View of the lake and where to find the marble caverns in the Aysen region of Chile.

There are 115 islands in the archipelago. Seychelles has become a popular tourist destination, thanks to its stunning tropical beaches and interesting wildlife. Popular activities include diving, fishing, sailing, and laying around on amazing white sand beaches. Once a backpacker’s secret, Thailand’s Phi Phi islands exploded onto the tourist map after the release of The Beach , a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio that was filmed on one of the islands.

Mystical, Magical & Magnificent Monasteries in Meteora (20 Pics) The caves in Meteora, Greece, had inhabitants for fifty millennia, but due to raids, “hermit monks” moved to the safety of sandstone rock pinnacles in the 9th century and began building monasteries. More monks and nuns came, building more monasteries perched high upon the cliffs. Wikipedia reports, “Access to the monasteries was originally (and deliberately) difficult, requiring either long ladders lashed together or large nets used to haul up both goods and people. This required quite a leap of faith — the ropes were replaced, so the story goes, only ‘when the Lord let them break.’” A view of Meteora monasteries in Greece. The Holy Monastery of Varlaam is the second largest monastery in Meteora, Greece. Meteora – The nunnery of Roussanou was built during the 16th century and remodeled and decorated as recently as 1560.

Mt Roraima, Venezuela (pic) Un lugar de ensueño: La Falla de Richat Desde nuestros inicios los seres humanos hemos buscado las respuestas de nuestra existencia en nuestro propio entorno: la naturaleza, la conciencia y la duda forman parte de nuestra esencia. Sin embargo, hay cosas que definitivamente no tienen respuesta —hasta el momento— como es el caso de a “Estructura de Richat”, también conocida como “El ojo de la Tierra”. Esta impactante falla geográfica nos demuestra una vez más que los seres humanos somos una especie novata en este gran planeta. La Estructura de Richat, apodado por otros “el espejo de Dios”, se encuentra ubicada en el Desierto del Sahara, en Mauritania, y se le considera uno de los puntos energéticos más importantes de la Tierra. Físicamente hace alusión a una espiral gigantesca multicolor —casi de otro planeta— y visualmente su gama de texturas es sorprendente. Su espiral interna parece un infinito, un pozo sin fondo con formas de huracán donde podría caber cualquier cosa, ondas interminables con memoria.

Top 10: los pantanos más bellos del mundo (FOTOS Pantanal Matogrossense, Brasil Sabemos bien que cada ecosistema posee características propias que lo hacen inigualable, mismas que se traducen en formas de vida únicas y en muchos casos imposibles de trasladar de un ecosistema a otro, mucho menos en aquellos diametralmente opuestos. Pero además de todo esto, rico en sí mismo, es posible encontrar un espíritu propio de cada ecosistema, una especie de aura que rodea cada uno de estos ambientes y que expresa —sin palabras de por medio, con la fuerza de su sola existencia— su raison d’être. De ahí que, cifrando en una sola cualidad esa esencia profunda, podamos hablar de la exuberancia de la selva, la templanza del bosque, la radicalidad y recíproca inversión —magno espejo terrenal— del desierto y los círculos polares. En esta ocasión nos ocuparemos de un hábitat acaso menos popular pero no por ello menos agraciado: el pantano. Sin embargo, la singular belleza de los pantanos excede por mucho estas imaginerías.

Still Looking For Paradise? Maldives - justpaste.it Double chain of twenty-six atolls… The Republic of Maldives, or simply the Maldives, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean. It consists of approximately 1,190 coral islands grouped in a double chain of 26 atolls, along the north-south direction, spread over roughly 90,000 square kilometers, making this one of the most disparate countries in the world. The atolls are composed of live coral reefs and sand bars, situated atop a submarine ridge 960 kilometers long that rises abruptly from the depths of the Indian Ocean and runs from north to south. Crystal clear waters, beautiful white sand beaches, swaying palm trees and fabulous dive sites – that’s why the Maldives, is known for being one of the best tropical holiday destinations in the world. ...and no need to climb ;) With an average ground level of 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) above sea level, it is the lowest country on the planet. Summer never ends ... Crystal clear waters and azure blue lagoons... Resorts in the Maldives
