Tourism in Mexico - Best Tourist Attractions
Mexico is a federal republic in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and to the east by the Gulf of Mexico. Covering almost two million square kilometers (over 760,000 sq mi), the nation is the fifth largest country in the Americas by total area and the 13th largest independent state in the world.
With an estimated population of over 120 million, the country is the eleventh most populous and the most populous Spanish-speaking state in the world while being the second most populous nation in Latin America. Mexico is a federation comprising 31 states and a special federal entity that is also its capital and most populous city. Other metropolises include Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Toluca, and Tijuana.
Pre-Columbian Mexico dates to about 8,000 BC, is identified as one of seven cradles of civilization and was home to many advanced Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya and Aztec before first contact with Europeans. In 1521, the Spanish Empire conquered and colonized the territory from its politically powerful base in Mexico-Tenochtitlan, which was administered as the viceroyalty of New Spain. Three centuries later, the territory became the current nation following recognition in 1821 after the colony's Mexican War of Independence. The tumultuous post-independence period was characterized by economic inequality and many political deep changes. The Mexican–American War (1846–1848) led to a territorial cession of the extensive northern territories to the United States. The Pastry War, the Franco-Mexican War, a civil war, two empires and the Porfiriato occurred through the 19th century. The Porfiriato was ended by the Mexican Revolution of 1910, which culminated with the promulgation of the 1917 Constitution and the emergence of the country's current political system.
Mexico has the fifteenth largest nominal GDP and the eleventh largest by purchasing power parity. The Mexican economy is strongly linked to those of its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners, especially the United States. Mexico was the first Latin American member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), joining in 1994. It is classified as an upper-middle income country by the World Bank and a newly industrialized country by several analysts. By 2050, Mexico could become the world's fifth or seventh largest economy. The country is considered both a regional power and middle power, and is often identified as an emerging global power. Due to its rich culture and history, Mexico ranks first in the Americas and seventh in the world by number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Mexico is a megadiverse country, ranking fourth in the world by biodiversity. In 2016 it was the eighth most visited country in the world, with 35 million international arrivals. Mexico is a member of the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the G8+5, the G20, the Uniting for Consensus and the Pacific Alliance.

5 Most Deadly Volcanic Eruptions In Human History - Great Animation
Courtesy of Tech Insider -- Music: The Walwrath (Escape From Hell Mix) by Dhruva Aliman ...History's Most Destructive Volcanoes- Deccan Traps – Deccan Plateau, India – about 60 million years ago-- The Deccan Traps are a set of lava beds in the Deccan Plateau region of what is now India that cover an area of about 580,000 square miles, or more than twice the area of Texas. The lava beds were laid down in a series of colossal volcanic eruptions that occurred between 63 - 67 million years ago. The timing of the eruptions coincides with the disappearance of the dinosaurs, the so-called K-T mass extinction (the shorthand given to the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction). Evidence for the volcanic extinction of the dinosaurs has mounted in recent years, Putting in question that an asteroid impact did the dinosaurs in.
Yellowstone Supervolcano – Wyoming, United States – about 640,000 years ago
When this gigantic supervolcano erupted, it sent 250 cubic miles (1,000 cubic kilometers) of material into the air. The eruptions have left behind hardened lava fields and calderas, depressions that form in the ground when material below it is erupted to the surface.
The magma chambers thought to underlie the Yellowstone hotspot also provide its geysers.
Some researchers have predicted that the supervolcano will blow its top again, an event that would cover up to half the country in ash up to 3 feet deep, a study predicts.
Thera – island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea - sometime between 1645 B.C. and 1500 B.C.
Geologists think that Thera exploded with the energy of several hundred atomic bombs in a fraction of a second. The island that hosted the volcano, Santorini, was home to members of the Minoan civilization. The inhabitants suspected the volcano was going to blow and evacuated. Those residents may have escaped. The volcano may have severely disrupted the culture, with tsunamis and temperature declines caused by the massive amount of sulfur dioxide it spewed out.
Mount Vesuvius – Pompeii, Roman Empire (now Italy) – 79
A stratovolcano east of Naples, Italy. Stratovolcanoes are tall, steep, conical structures that periodically erupt explosively. They're commonly found where one of Earth's plates is subducting below another, producing magma.
Vesuvius' most famous eruption is the one that buried the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum in rock and dust in 79, killing thousands. The ashfall preserved some structures of the town, as well as skeletons and artifacts that have helped archaeologists better understand ancient Roman culture.
Laki – Iceland – 1783
The eruption freed trapped volcanic gases that were carried by the Gulf Stream over to Europe. In the British Isles, many died of gas poisoning. The volcanic material sent into the air also created fiery sunsets recorded by 18th-century painters. Extensive crop damage and livestock losses created a famine in Iceland that resulted in the deaths of one-fifth of the population.
Tambora – Indonesia - 1815
The largest ever recorded by humans, ranking a 7 (or super-colossal) on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, the second-highest rating in the index. The volcano, which is still active, is located on Sumbawa Island and is one of the tallest peaks in the Indonesian archipelago.
It exploded so loudly that it was heard on Sumatra Island, more than 1,200 miles away. The death toll was estimated at 71,000 people. Clouds of heavy ash descended on many far-away islands.
Krakatoa – Sunda Strait, Indonesia – 1883
The final eruption in 1883 finally climaxed into a massive explosion on April 26 - 27. The eruption of this stratovolcano, situated along a volcanic island arc at the subduction zone of the Indo-Australian plate, ejected huge amounts of rock, ash and pumice and was heard thousands of miles away.
The explosion created a tsunami with maximum wave heights at 140 feet killing about 34,000 people. Tidal gauges more than 7,000 miles away on the Arabian Peninsula registered the increased wave heights.
Novarupta - Alaska Peninsula – June, 1912
One of a chain of volcanoes, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire — The largest volcanic blast of the 20th century. The powerful eruption sent 3 cubic miles of magma and ash into the air, which fell to cover an area of 3,000 square miles more than a foot deep.
Mount St. Helens – Washington state, United States – 1980
Located about 96 miles from Seattle, it is one of the most active volcanoes in the U.S. It's eruption on May 18, 1980 killed 57 people and caused damage for tens of miles. Winds blew 520 million tons of ash across the United States causing complete darkness in Spokane, Wash., 250 miles from the volcano. 15 miles of ash and dust blew into the air in just 15 minutes; falling in 11 states. The blast was preceded by a magma bulge on the north face of the volcano, and the eruption caused that entire face to slide away — the largest landslide on Earth in recorded history.

Katherine Mine Ruins!
BEST VIEWED FULL SCREEN AT 1080hHD
Katherine's Landing takes its name from the old Katherine Mine that is located northeast of the current marina. The Katherine Mine lies dead and decaying. All that stands is an odd assortment of concrete pillars, arranged as if in some forgotten graveyard, and the foundation of the once impressive structure. Scattered about are the rusting remains of iron tanks and other equipment used in the mining operation. Deep beneath the surface, a labyrinth of passages is choked with water, rotten timbers and memories of long departed miners.
Mining activity began in the Katherine-Union Pass area in the mid-1860s with the discovery of gold. The Pyramid and Gold Cycle mines, both in the present-day South Telephone Cove area; the Homestake Mine, across the river in Nevada; and the Sheeptrails Mine in the Union Pass area, were the more primary mines established during this time. To process ore, the Sheeptrails Mine built a mill near the Colorado River, west of the Pyramid Mine.
The road used to haul ore from the Sheeptrails Mine to the mill passed by a solitary granite knob that protruded from a flat gravel plain. A teamster, S.C. Bagg, who was hauling ore to the mill, panned some samples from the outcropping. In September 1900, the outcrop was claimed by Bagg and became the Catherine Mine (original spelling).
S.C. Bagg wasted no time About 2000 tons of ore were mined from Catherine and then processed at the Sheeptrails Mill between 1900 and 1903. The mine was leased in 1903, and an unknown amount of ore was removed before the mine was closed in 1904. The mine was sold that same year to the Arizona Pyramid Mining Company which reopened it in 1907, operating it for two years.
In 1915, gold was discovered in the United Eastern Mine at Oatman. This discovery caused the First Oatman Boom. Numerous claims were staked, and shafts sunk with little reason and even less chance of success. This boom soon reached the Union Pass-Catherine District where claims were staked adjoining the Catherine, Sheeptrails and other older existing mines.
Shafts in the new area were sunk with less justification and chance of success than they were at Oatman. Most of these bloomers adopted the name Catherine in their title: Catherine Extension, Catherine Treasure Vault and Catherine Midway. None of the new mines recorded any production, and all were shut down by the onset of the Great Depression in 1929.
With the boom came the promotion of the Catherine and Tri-state town sites. The Catherine town site was about two miles east of the Catherine Mine, and the Tri-state was across the river from the present day Katherine Landing. A post office was operated at the Catherine Town site from 1925 to 1929. Today, little remains of the Katherine site, the Tri-state site lies under the waters of Lake Mohave.
In 1919, Catherine Mine, now titled the Katherine Gold Mining Company, began to further develop the area. A new vertical shaft was sunk to 950 feet, and a shaft sunk from the 400 foot level opened the 500- and 600-foot levels. A cyanide mill that could process 75 tons of ore a day was completed in June 1925. It was later enlarged to process 250 tons per day.
The mill ran more or less continuously through 1927. The mine and mill operation slowed down in 1928, and in December of 1929, the Katherine Gold Mining Company declared bankruptcy. The mill operated for short periods of time, processing ore from some of the area mines between 1931 and 1932. This marked the separation of the Katherine Mill and Mine operations.
Between 1933 and 1934, the price of gold rose, and it became profitable to mine gold again. Many old mines were reopened. The Gold Standard Gold Mining Company acquired the Katherine Mill and Mine water rights, and began operating in September 1933. A fire severely damaged the structures in September of 1934. The mill was back in operation by November 1934, and processed ore from the local mines. The Gold Standard Gold Mining Company acquired title to the Katherine Mine in 1935. After rehabilitating the mine and repairing the fire damage, the Katherine Mine was in production from 1937 to 1940. The mill ran continuously until April 15, 1943, when it was closed by the War Production Board.
Katherine was a boom town that gained more from its reputation than from the ore that it produced. The Katherine Mine produced less than $2 million in gold and silver between 1900 and 1940. The mill, processing ore from area mines, excluding the Katherine Mine, produced $3.6 million in gold and silver between 1900 and 1943.

Manassas, Virginia, USA
My visit at Manassas National Battlefield Park, Virginia, on the 13th of September, 2015. I remember I had some problems in driving from one place to the another, due to the not so clear road signs but the place is fantastic.
The so called Manassas Campaign was a series of military engagements in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War: Hoke's Run, Blackburn's Ford, First Bull Run (Manassas) and Second Bull Run (Manassas).
At First Bull Run (Manassas) Thomas Jonathan Jackson, Confederate Brigadier General, rose to prominence and earned his most famous nickname Stonewall. After the battle, Jackson was promoted to Major General.
Visita al Manassas National Battlefield Park, Virginia, il 13 settembre 2015. Mi ricordo che ho avuto qualche problema nel guidare da un posto all'altro del campo di battaglia, a causa dei segnali stradali non chiari, ma il posto è fantastico.
La cosiddetta Campagna di Manassas è stata una serie di diverse battaglie combattute nel teatro orientale della Guerra Civile Americana: Hoke's Run, Blackburn's Ford, First Bull Run (Manassas) and Second Bull Run (Manassas).
Durante la Prima Battaglia di Bull Run (Manassas) salì alla ribalta Thomas Jonathan Jackson, brigadier generale confederato, che lì acquisì il suo famoso soprannome muro di pietra. Dopo la battaglia, Jackson fu promosso maggior generale.

RV FLIP (FLoating Instrument Platform) is an open ocean research vessel owned by the Office of Naval Research and operated by the Marine Physical Laboratory of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.The ship is a 355 feet (108 meters) long vessel designed to partially flood and pitch backward 90 degrees, resulting in only the front 55 feet (17 meters) of the vessel pointing up out of the water, with bulkheads becoming decks. When flipped, most of the buoyancy for the platform is provided by water at depths below the influence of surface waves, hence FLIP is a stable platform mostly immune to wave action, like a spar buoy. At the end of a mission, compressed air is pumped into the ballast tanks in the flooded section and the vessel returns to its horizontal position so it can be towed to a new location.The ship is frequently mistaken for a capsized ocean transport ship
FLIP is designed to study wave height, acoustic signals, water temperature and density, and for the collection of meteorological data. Because of the potential interference with the acoustic instruments, FLIP has no engines or other means of propulsion. It must be towed to open water, where it drifts freely or is anchored. In tow, FLIP can reach speeds of 7--10 knots.
FLIP weighs 700 long tons (711 tonnes) and carries a crew of five, plus up to eleven scientists. It is capable of operating independently during month-long missions without resupply,being able to operate worldwide but the normal area is the west coast of the United States. The vessel operates out of a home base at the Scripps Nimitz Marine Facility in San Diego, California.
