The Weddell Sea is still one of the most remote and unknown seas in the world. Named after
a Scottish navigator, this is from were icebergs are originated, later appearing in
northern waters. The icebreaker needs to start ramming against the packed ice
sometimes and...

At about 1 hour from Munich you will find the village of Dachau. Surely you know this
infamous place due to the first concentration camp located here during the Nazi time. It
worked somehow as a precursor for what followed in larger scale – in a terror like
scale. Dachau deserves a...

When on my way to Antarctica, going across the South Atlantic, I was just in front of
South Georgia. It was the austral summer and I departed from South Africa, on board an
icebreaker. After one week surrounded by water it was magic to see that “black rock”
as if suspended above the...

Do you think New York City sometimes looks like Mars, people and all? You are right and
the place to prove this is Mars Bar 2112! Nothing like Venusville from the Total Recall
film – sure, but the mood is still the same: red walls and tables in a structure that
looks somehow a Martian...

Venice was home to many notable men who changed the course of Human History. In Venice’s
Castello district Napoleon ordered the construction of Via Garibaldi, the street where you
can find John Cabot's house – or Giovanni Caboto in his original name. Cabot discovered
Newfoundland for...

At the entrance of the high Mojave Desert, Barstow is sort of the last city to provide you
with food, water, maps and supplies – and then go into adventure. The Barstovian is a
geological important period due to the amount of fossils found around Barstow. If you head
to the Rainbow...

Mendoza is world famous for being the capital of Argentinean wines. Always with the Andean
white peaks in background, the landscape in the vicinities of Mendoza is indeed covered
with vineyards. There was a joke in the past about why one could not find Argentinean
wines abroad?...

Did you ever heard about Wild Bill Hickock, Calamity Jane or Potato Creek Johnny? That is
right - they are all related to the mythic city of Deadwood in the gold fever times of the
Black Hills. The far west has some common legends in the mind of everyone – Wild Bill
would always...

When I was driving across the Black Hills, one night I was so tired that I just slept in
the next near city. When I woke up in the back of my station wagon, I was directly in
front of the library of Crook County. Funny, I said to myself – then I walk around and I
was indeed in...

After crossing the Weddell Sea the sonar final starts showing the increase in the
submarine slope as we reach the Antarctic continent itself. The Weddell
Abyss origin is related to the separation of Gondwana, the southern part of the
super-continent Pangea, some 200...

When reaching the Antarctica Peninsula, it was like having Magritte and Dali-like
“by-request” carved icebergs just in front of you. The landscape and light are
most inspiring, the weather changes at every 20 minutes – and finally perhaps you will
see other icebreakers and...

Everyone knows Las Vegas is a crazy place – especially if you drive across Nevada’s
desert roads and landscapes for a while…and when already with dust in your teeth…you
end up finding “Sodom and Gomorrah” just in front of you!! What a contrast! So
after driving across the...

Wyoming is one of my favorite states in the USA – mostly due to its loneliness and
remote feeling when driving around. After crossing South Dakota, entering Wyoming you
will find the Devils Tower in the Black Hills region, in Crook County, nor far away from
Sundance. This natural...

When you go across the South Atlantic and see nothing but water for 2 weeks – any sign
of life is understood almost as a miracle in such remote and harsh conditions. This is
also true for Antarctica, where one needs to add the low temperatures and ice in order for
species to survive....

If you never understood why penguins normally get themselves aligned along icebergs, sort
of waiting to see who will be the first to jump into the water – that has to do with
seals, their ferocious predator. So once the first penguin comes back – or not –
the others may feel safer...

After crossing the Atlas Mountains and heading further south, one reaches the beautiful
dunes of Erg Chebbi, in the western part of the Sahara Desert. This is without doubt one
of the most beautiful landscapes of Morocco – with the Algerian border at sight just 40
Km away. Great place...

As you drive along South Dakota and its vast plains you may think about Lewis and Clark
and their historic expedition into the American West. Mitchell has that same hunting
and fishing flavor as well – but it is the Corn Palace that makes it unique, given that
it is the only such...

It was in Oudtshoorn that the farming of ostridges started gaining economically meaningful
proportions. Today the city is known as the world capital of ostridges. So of course you
have to visit one of its many farms – and stand on top of a huge egg that will sustain
your weight...

Robben Island offers an incredible view of Cape Town – showing the “Tavern of the
Seas” as if being a painting across the Atlantic, with the Table Mountain in first
plane. Certainly Nelson Mandela and the other political apartheid prisoners were not
there to enjoy the landscape –...

Not many nations can afford testing an atomic bomb in their own territory, given the
prolonged and nasty environmental consequences of radioactivity. New Mexico with its
vast land extensions and low density population, remote and arid areas – was somehow an
obvious choice. When you...
