Geology: Geological Oddities Part 1: Columns, Crystals, and Concretions
Original post by @mountainwashere
Geological oddities are a lot of fun, but this new series isn't solely about having fun with them- it's also about putting them in geological context, and exploring what these variations from the norm have to say about our planet. Also, though, it's definitely about having fun with them. And about having way too many blog post series going at once.
In 1941, California constructed the Long Valley Dam, resulting in the birth of Crowley Lake. While it was originally meant just as a reservoir for Los Angeles, that ever-thirsty environmental catastrophe, it's since become a major tourist destination
Anthropology: My Journey: Isolated Tribe Mentawai #End
We are ready to walk through the same path for another 2 hours to Syukri’s house. We joked a lots about the last thing happened last night. Yanti was upset and she walked faster at front of us. She did not give a glance at us. She knew we talk about her, and she sometime said STOP laughing at me!
At 5.15 we arrived at Syukri’s house, we take rest and cleaned ourselves. I started to check my luggage, and take dirty clothes out and wrap with plastic bag. Tomorrow morning we would go back to Muara Siberut a main civilization on the island. From Muara Siberut we would continue our trip to Katiet by local public ferry.
