Make ?first contact? with an undiscovered tribe
Survival International, the movement for tribal people estimates that there are still around 40,000 people in some 100 tribes around the world that have had at most limited contact with ‘civilisation’ (lucky them!). The Brazilian government department for Indian affairs, FUNAI, estimates that there are up to 70 tribes that have had limited contact in its [...]
The Great Unmapped Desert
Due to massive irrigation to feed Soviet era cotton fields, the Aral Sea (in fact a lake) in Uzbekistan has reduced from nearly 70,000 square kilometres 40 years ago to under 20,000 square kilometres now. This leaves vast tracts of desert that are mostly uncharted and unexplored … Get out there and explore!
Global Warming and its threat to packing
Never wanting to be one to be unprepared when I travel, I always like to know what the weather is likely to be at any new destination. So prior to setting off for Prague in the Czech Republic last week I checked the weather data on WhereWhenWhy. Seven degrees celsius average temperature in April sounded [...]

Plans for ambitious joint infrastructure projects between Armenia and Iran may prove a key first test of President-Elect Barack Obama’s policy intentions toward Tehran and Armenia’s own economic muscle amidst the global economic crisis. On the drawing board are a railroad between Iran and Armenia, an oil pipeline from Iran’s Tabriz refinery to a special terminal to be built in Armenia’s Ararat province, and a hydropower station on the Araks river, which borders the two countries

Lori-1 Wind Power Plant in operation

Lori-1 Wind Power Plant in operation

This is Armenia's first wind farm. It consists of 4 wind power turbines producing a peak of 2.64 MWe. Armenia has vast untapped wind power resources, with a theoretical potential of 4,900 MWe according to a recent study funded by the European Union (see www.renewableenergyarmenia.am.) Given Armenia's relatively low electricity consumption -- which in 2006 was on average 635.5 MWe -- renewable energy has the potential to provide 100% of Armenia's electric energy needs within a couple of decades.

The Church of the Redeemer; Ani, East Turkey, beside the border with Armenia.
The church was largely intact until 1955, when the entire eastern half collapsed during a storm

My last travel in Turkey


"Ani (Armenian: Անի, Latin: Abnicum) is a ruined and uninhabited
medieval city-site situated in the Turkish province of Kars, beside
the border with Armenia. It was once the capital of a medieval
Armenian kingdom that covered much of present day Armenia and eastern
Turkey. The city is located on a triangular site, visually dramatic
and naturally defensive, protected on its eastern side by the ravine
of the Akhurian River (Turkish: Arpaçay) and on its western side by
the Bostanlar or Tzaghkotzadzor valley. The Akhurian is a branch of
the Araks River and forms part of the current border between Turkey
and Armenia. Called the "City of 1001 Churches", it stood on various
trade routes and its many religious buildings, palaces, and
fortifications were amongst the most technically and artistically
advanced structures in the world.

At the height of its glory, Ani had a population of 100,000 - 200,000
people and was the rival of Constantinople, Baghdad and Cairo. Long
ago renowned for its splendor and magnificence, Ani has been abandoned
and largely forgotten for centuries."
