#1 A look into Gio ethnic tribe in Côte d’Ivoire by @joythewanderer

" In the tribe, men and women live in seperate cases and kids stay with the women. You can tell whether it belongs to men or women from the color of the roof, because women cook inside sometimes, so the roof is darker than the men's...... In Gio tribe, men are allowed to have several wives, during the days where men stay with one wife, the wife cooks for the whole family, including other wives and kids... "

#2 CHILE #4 – Into the mysteries of Easter Island by @digi-me

" The statues were erected by Rapa Nui people between the 10th and 16th century. Exactly why and how these statues were assembled is still not fully understood. The volcano of Rano Raraku is the quarry from which they were cut. Wandering around among dozens of statues was an amazing feeling. They are in all stages of progress, spread out on the slopes of the volcano. It was as stepping back into early Polynesian times."

#3 Up The Bojafjall Mountain Part 2 / Epic Views by @greddyforce

" Although this mountain is only 638 meters high you can experience this height in all its glory because the mountain goes up steeply and rises from the sea level. Westfjords, including this place, is one of the oldest parts of present Iceland.....If you were to fall down you would fall straight 630 meters down to the beach, this is not advisable, might be lethal. Of course, I don't take risks seriously and go on the edge to get some awesome shots. "

Thank you for featuring my post @steemitworldmap / @livinguktaiwan. Any chance its link can be amended to say more than "Mountain?"

Baboquivari Peak, as the post details, is a sacred mountain to the native people there.

Thanks again!

Hi @roleerob! Sure, always respect people who respect the places they'ver visited. I've changed it to its name. And thanks for your continue support for the map.

Thank you. I really appreciate it! 👍
