Where On Google Earth?

Could this really be a safe haven? We’ll find out soon enough… 🙂

The Jumbo Glacier and Valley is a large unspoiled area and according to the Ktunaxa legend, this area is the home of the grizzly bear spirit.

In spite of some fierce local opposition the decision has been made -after 20 years of deliberation- to develop a huge Ski resort in this area.

Thanks Adam for the heads-up.

Unspoilt nature. But for how long…?

El Caminito del Rey is Spanish for “The King’s pathway”, but frankly I don’t think there is one king on this earth who dares to walk this path nowadays.

The last (and first) king who walked this path was King Alfonso XIII in 1921.
In the last decades the pathway has detoriated too a state that makes it hardly walkable, but if you wait a few years there is a fair chance that it will be restored to its old glory at the cost of 9 million euros.

Are you brave enough to go hiking here?

Again a very hard one, this weeks contest.
The place I was looking for was Restoration Island, the fist landfall for Captain Bligh and his Bounty gang.
It is a national park and an uninhabited island, that is with the exception of one man, David Glasheen, who has lived there as a ‘Robinson Crusoe’ since 1993.
