Jelajah Bumi - Meteora

Selasa, 5 Maret 2013. Saya sungguh dibuat takjub oleh ciptaan Tuhan yang kami lihat seraya mendekati desa Kastráki, kota kecil Kalabáka. Kota ini terletak di dataran Thessaly, negeri para dewa, Yunani. Di tempat inilah terdapat puluhan “jari” batu raksasa. Sekumpulan bebatuan alami unik, terjal nan eksotis sekaligus fantastis, terpisah-pisah menjulang ratusan meter ke langit. Puncak-puncak batu terjal tesebut berhiaskan biara-biara yang memiliki lukisan-lukisan apik identik Al Kitab. Inilah yang disebut Meteora.
“Meteora” berasal dari kata Yunani 'meteoros- Μετέωρα ' yang artinya "Tengah Langit" Atau “Tempat Tinggi Di Angkasa”. Memaksudkan sekelompok pilar batu unik dan lebih dari 30 biara yang dibangun di atasnya. Rata-rata tinggi batu-batu ini adalah 313 meter, dan yang tertinggi adalah 550 meter.  Majalah Experiment menjelaskan bahwa beberapa geolog percaya ”bahwa batu-batu ini pasti terbentuk antara tahun 2000 dan 1000 SM”. Meteora telah ditetapkan sebagai Unesco's World Heritage, jutaan turis dalam dan luar negeri berdatangan ke Meteora yang disebut One of the Most Amazing Places in Greece atau One of the Most Spectacular Places to visit in Greece.

Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji (富士山 Fujisan?, IPA: [ɸɯꜜdʑisaɴ] ( listen)), located on Honshu Island, is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft).[1] An active stratovolcano[5][6] that last erupted in 1707–08, Mount Fuji lies about 100 kilometres (60 mi) south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on a clear day. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone, which is snow-capped several months a year, is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers. It is one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains" (三霊山 Sanreizan?) along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku; it is a Special Place of Scenic Beauty, a Historic Site, and was added to the World Heritage List as a Cultural Site on June 22, 2013.

The 25 locations include the mountain itself, Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha and six other Sengen shrines, two lodging houses, Lake Yamanaka, Lake Kawaguchi, the eight Oshino Hakkai hot springs, two lava tree molds, the remains of the Fuji-kō cult in the Hitoana cave, Shiraito Falls, and Miho no Matsubara pine tree grove.

niagara fall - wonderfull waterfall

niagara fall - wonderfull waterfall

Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between Canada and the United States; more specifically, between the province of Ontario and the state of New York. They form the southern end of the Niagara Gorge.

From largest to smallest, the three waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lie mostly on the Canadian side and the American Falls entirely on the American side, separated by Goat Island. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls are also located on the American side, separated from the other waterfalls by Luna Island. The international boundary line was originally drawn through Horseshoe Falls in 1819, but the boundary has long been in dispute due to natural erosion and construction.[2]

Located on the Niagara River, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, the combined falls form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world, with a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m). Horseshoe Falls is the most powerful waterfall in North America, as measured by vertical height and also by flow rate.[3] The falls are located 17 miles (27 km) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York and 75 miles (121 km) south-southeast of Toronto, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York.

Niagara Falls were formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation (the last ice age), and water from the newly formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean. While not exceptionally high, the Niagara Falls are very wide. More than six million cubic feet (168,000 m3) of water falls over the crest line every minute in high flow,[4] and almost four million cubic feet (110,000 m3) on average.

The Niagara Falls are renowned both for their beauty and as a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Managing the balance between recreational, commercial, and industrial uses has been a challenge for the stewards of the falls since the 19th century.
