Chinchorro mummies at the Museo Arqueológico San Miguel de Azapa.

These mummies of the Chinchorro hunter gatherer culture in the Atacama desert in the far north of Chile are 2000 years older than the Egyptian mummies! The oldest artificially preserved mummy dates from 5050 BC, the oldest naturally preserved mummy is from 7020 BC.

In 2021 the Chinchorro sites and mummification process in Arica and Caleta/Valle Camarones were inscribed as UNESCO world heritage.

Die meisten Häuser in Grönland sind auf Fels gebaut/aufgeständert und werden durch Holztreppen erschlossen. Damit sind sie im Winter trotz Schnee noch zugänglich und im Sommer versinken sie nicht in Schlamm/ auftauendem Permafrost. Orte ohne felsigen Untergrund bekommen wegen des Klimawandels zunehmend Probleme.

Sorry, no new photos because of the heatwave...

These are from a walk through the vineyards during the pandemic. Strict lockdown was over but restrictions were still in place.

Salto Floriano is one of the most spectacular falls on the Brazilian side of Iguazú (the falls in the background are in Argentina).
The first note was taken from the topmost viewpoint, the second from the lower viewpoint.

The cemetery at Upernavik sits on top of a hill and looks out to the sea (as do all Inuit cemeteries). Because of permafrost the coffins are above ground and cemented in. This can only be done in the short summer season so the cement mixer pragmatically stays on site.

Pygoscelis Papua

Gudrun has posted:

Gentoo penguins are the 3rd largest species of penguin. They breed on the Antarctic peninsula and on Subantarctic islands, using snow free areas to build their nest of stones. Often the nests lie quite high up and the birds have to struggle uphill. Downwards they like to toboggan on their bellies;-)

These photos are from Peterman Island where all 3 species of pygoscelis can be watched (apart from gentoo also Adelie/ Pygoscelis adeliae and chinstrap/Pygoscelis antarcticus). Visitors should keep their distance and never block the birds' way to the sea.

An outlet glacier of Vatnajökull, Svinafellsjökull comes down from Iceland's highest mountain Hvannadalshnúkur (2110m) which sits on the caldera rim of Öræfajökull volcano.
As the glacier retreats the mountainsides have become unstable. There have been major landslides and the popular excursions on the glacier have become dangerous. In 2007 two German mountaineers disapperared without trace.

Salar de Surire is ringed by volcanoes and lies at 4250m in the far north of Chile, just across the border from Bolivia. It is home (among others) to all 3 Chilean species of flamingo, to vicuña, viscacha, ñandú (suri) and puma. The western part of the salar is used for Lithium mining.

At Humberstone the company town remained intact, at Santa Laura it's the industrial complex. What's left of the former town is more or less only this bandstand at the plaza.

Humberstone and Samta Laura Saltpeter Works were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage in 2005 and immediately put on the list of world heritage in danger (until 2019) to get funds for preserving and stabilizing the remaining buildings.
There had been extensive damage partly due to earthquakes but also because of looting. The harsh desert climate in combination with wind and coastal fog (camanchaca) had left most surfaces covered with a mixture of sand and salt, corroding the metal parts.
