Get Under the Surface of Lanzarote at the Cueva de los Verdes

Thanks to its turbulent volcanic origins, the island of Lanzarote has one of the most intriguing landscapes to be found anywhere in the world, but there’s much more to the island’s geography than initially meets the eye. Underneath Lanzarote is a system of labyrinth-like caves known as the Tunnel de la Atlantida, stretching for 6km above sea level and 1.5km below the water.

The Tunnel de la Atlantida was formed by cooling lava streams from the nearby Mount Corona volcano, around 3000 years ago, as is the longest lava tube ever discovered. At numerous locations along the length of the Tunnel de la Atlantida, the roofs of the caves have collapsed, forming caverns through which people have been able to access and explore much of the caves.

The Weekly Frame - Landscape from the Land Down Under

The glowing limestone rock formations along the southern coast of Victoria in Australia are an amazing sight at the golden hour before sunset. They have been formed by the fierce waves of the Southern Ocean constantly eroding the soft limestone coast, forming caves, then arches and finally stacks, popularly called as Apostles.

Germany: 6 Places you simply cannot miss

This is a guest post by Denise M.

Germany has a very colorful background which had contributed massively to the world’s overall course of history. From Martin Luther’s Reformation Movement to the totalitarian regime of Adolf Hitler, there are far greater things to discover (and to rediscover) in this land.

Germans are primarily known for a lot of things. Firstly, Germans are said to be conservative. Foreign influences, such as poker playing, took some time before Germans embraced the card game entirely. The popularity of poker grew widely as other popular poker varieties invaded the country such as Texas Hold’em, Omaha and PLO. The card game later on became a big hit, reaching even the far off places, with the help of the internet. Poker players in Germany as well as in several points of the globe enthusiastically learned to play poker at online poker portals like http://de.partypoker.com/ These online poker tables produced several German poker players including the eminent poker queen, Sandra Naujuks.

Apart from producing amazing poker players, Germany is known for its majestic hot spots popular to its frequent visitors. To name a few, we listed most visited places in Germany right below.

Trek to the Mt Everest Base Camp – a once in a lifetime experience

My recent trek to the base of the highest mountain on earth was an experience I will cherish throughout my life. From beautiful alpine forests to arid, rounded landscapes formed by melted glaciers, the journey through the lap of the mighty Himalayas was exhilarating to say the least.

In the happening two weeks, I had landed on the most dangerous airport on earth, got hit by a yak train, almost blew myself off from a dizzy suspension bridge and weathered a mini blizzard at 18,000 feet. Still it wasn't that bad after all. Those fourteen days of living-out-of-a-sleeping-bag, waking up to astounding views of the tallest peaks on the planet and trudging through rocky trails with nature for company - were undoubtedly some of the best days of my life.
