Salar de Uyuni Coordinates: Location of Salar de Uyuni Salar de Uyuni viewed from space, with Salar de Coipasa in the top left corner The Salar was formed as a result of transformations between several prehistoric lakes. The Salar serves as the major transport route across the Bolivian Altiplano and is a major breeding ground for several species of flamingos. Formation, geology and climate[edit] The salar is composed of a salt surface crust overlying brine saturated sediments. Salar de Uyuni is part of the Altiplano of Bolivia in South America. The geological history of the Salar is associated with a sequential transformation between several vast lakes. Lacustrine mud that is interbedded with salt and saturated with brine underlies the surface of Salar de Uyuni. The area has a relatively stable average temperature with a peak at 21 °C (70 °F) in November to January and a low of 13 °C (55 °F) in June.

Often though, whether from disaster or lack of funding, celebrated technology becomes obsolete and is abandoned. Decay sets in to rust the disused places and objects which were once invaluable to us. Here are defunct and abandoned technologies such as power plants, amusement parks, factories, ships, aircraft, oil rigs, and military installations.

Das Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts zum Inzestfall zweier Geschwister vom 13.3.2008 mag manchen beim ersten Blick als sinnvoll erscheinen, wenn man die Behinderung zweier aus der Beziehung hervor gegangener Kinder als Folge der illegalen Sexualhandlung betrachtet. Das Urteil, das eine mehrjährige Haftstrafe für den Bruder Patrick S. bestätigte, akzeptierte zunächst einmal eine juristische Altlast, den §173 StGB , der Geschlechtsverkehr zwischen Geschwistern unter Strafe stellt.
12 bizarre real-life places that are stranger than science fiction | Blastr - StumbleUpon Science fiction is home to some fantastic societies, from Cloud City to Bartertown. But you doesn't have to leave reality for this—our own world has places so abnormal, they make alien societies seem ordinary. Here are 12 remarkable locations in which people once lived (and some still do). 1. Izu Islands Off the coast of Japan lies a series of volcanic islands. 2. Neft Daslari is a functional city built 34 miles from the nearest shore. 3. One of the creepiest places on Earth, Sedlec Ossuary is a Roman Catholic chapel in the Czech Republic. 4. Temperatures in this Australian mining town reach well into broiling, so the opal miners who live there have built most of their town underground. 5. In 1962, a huge underground coal deposit ignited beneath the town of Centralia, Pa. 6. It's funny how something as boring as zoning regulations could lead to one of the most exciting office buildings on the planet. 7. Inside a spectacular Spanish church sits an enormous glass box. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

Since the world we live in has been largely mapped and plotted, we urban adventurers turn our sights toward the relics of old and the ruins of the recent past. Abandoned Submarine Base, Ukraine In a bay on the northern shores of the Black Sea, the Soviet army maintained an elaborate submarine base throughout much of the Cold War. Abandoned Submarine Base Gallery The Ruins of Detroit by Marchand and Meffre In the United States, few cities have felt the burn of urban decay more than Detroit.

East LA’s Abandoned Hospital Last year, while scouting for a short film that never came to fruition, some friends and I talked our way inside an empty, run-down hospital in Boyle Heights. The short was supposed to take place in a hospital, but after a few minutes wandering the halls of Linda Vista -- alone and decidedly creeped-out -- it became obvious that there was no way the place would work. It had been closed for twenty years, and it showed: there was dirt caked in layers on walls and mysteriously wet floors; windows were broken and doors hung off their hinges; ceiling tiles had fallen victim to moisture and gravity, and rats had chewed through the walls. We didn't have the money to make Linda Vista look like anything more than a horror movie -- a few of which had actually been shot there over the years. I was only inside for 45 minutes or so, running through the place snapping photos on the fly with a crappy point-and-shoot. Click on photos to see larger sizes. Linda Vista was a railroad hospital.
