Desert Dunes And Oasis Dreams

Seen from the air, the single terraced land with its straight borders and sharp edges looks like a green postage stamp affixed to a large manila envelope. Within its borders, a screen of trees hides the palatial estate, acres of emerald lawns, paved circular driveways, and vast marble fountains. Outside the quadrangle is a hot, rocky fan of tan alluvium uncultivated and waterless for half a kilometer to another such parcel, then another, then another. Around eight kilometers into the city centre, … Read the rest

Climbing The World’s Highest Peaks – It is not just the height that means a mountain. Different routes can make one side of a mountain easy and the other side nearly impossible. Weather can turn a technically easy climb into a deadly expedition. Whatever the weather, many aspire to tackle the world’s most difficult mountains to climb.

In no way should the height of a mountain be confused with its technical difficulty. Nepal’s Annapurna, the tenth highest peak in the world, is a deadly test. With a fatality rate close to 40% at the summit, a climber is more likely to die here than at any other 8,000m drop.
