The cone of the Licancabur (5916 m - 19409 ft) dominates us from its full height. On its right is the Juriques (5,704 m - 18714 ft).
The Licancabur owes its name to the Indians of Atacama, and means mountain or volcano of the people (lican-cabur).
This mythical volcano, asleep but not considered extinct, is the real postcard of the region of San Pedro de Atacama and Lipez. It marks the border between Chile and Bolivia.
From its height of 5916 m (19409 ft), it dominates the Atacama Salar at Chilean side, and the Laguna Verde in Bolivia. This stratovolcano has a crater, located in Chile and 400 m in diameter, with a lake of 90 m by 70 m in its center.
The Licancabur also houses many Inca ruins and a sanctuary at its summit; it was an eminently important place for the pre-Columbian cultures of the region.

Un volcan impressionnant
Le cône du Licancabur (5916 m) nous domine de toute sa hauteur. A sa droite, on voit aussi le Juriques (5,704 m).
Le Licancabur doit son nom aux indiens d'Atacama, et signifie montagne ou volcan du peuple (lican-cabur).
Ce volcan mythique, endormi mais non considéré comme éteint, est la véritable carte postale de la région de San Pedro de Atacama et du Lipez. Il marque la frontière entre le Chili et la Bolivie.
Du haut de ses 5916 m, il domine notamment le salar d’Atacama coté chilien, et la laguna verde en Bolivie. Ce stratovolcan possède un cratère, situé au Chili et de 400 m de diamètre, avec en son centre un lac de 90 sur 70 m.
Le Licancabur abrite également de nombreuses ruines Incas ainsi qu’un sanctuaire en son sommet ; il fut un lieu éminemment important pour les cultures précolombiennes de la région.

Handley Page H.P. 42, Samakh, Tiberias, Palestine (1935)
G-AAUD, production number 42/3, was named after the Carthaginian explorer Hanno the Navigator, who explored the Atlantic coast of Africa in approx. 570 BC. Hanno first flew on 19 July 1931 and was later converted to a H.P.42(W) (Hannibal class). The aircraft was impressed into No. 271 Squadron RAF and was destroyed in a gale at Whitchurch Airport, Bristol when it was blown together with Heracles and damaged beyond repair on 19 March 1940. This aircraft was featured in the fifteen minute 1937 Strand Film Company documentary Air Outpost, landing at Al Mahatta in Sharjah, now in the United Arab Emirates.

A group of King Penguins in South Georgia.
ST. ANDREWS BAY is home to the island’s largest king penguin colony, first described in 1883 during a visit by the 1882-3 German International Polar Year (IPY) expedition. 1,100 birds were recorded there in 1925, when it was believed to be the largest colony on the island. The population has increased drastically over the years to more than 32,000 breeding pairs in the winter of 1985, and over 150,000 breeding pairs in 2002. Consequently, the colony is not only increasing but at a faster rate than any other colony on the island. The reasons for this increase are not entirely clear. In addition to king penguins, St Andrews Bay is also home to over 6,000 southern elephant seal cows during the pupping season, making it one of the largest elephant seal breeding beaches on the island.
