    This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure

    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase. OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bird Islet (00S073E0013) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bushy Islet (00S073E0014) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Fedu Island (00S073E0008)

This narrow and long channel is one of the three navigable passages connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and it is shared between Chile and Argentina. Within the framework of the ERANET Lac Project CLIMAR (http://climar.cnr.it/index.php/contact/) a modeling study was conducted to investigate the water circulation inside this Channel and in the surrounding areas in order to evaluate the effects of atmospheric forcing on the channel fluxes and main hydrodynamics. A high-resolution 3D hydrodynamic model based on the finite elements method was implemented to an extended domain covering the whole Patagonian Shelf, part of the Drake Channel and part of the South-Eastern Pacific Ocean. The model horizontal spatial resolution was varying between several km for open oceans up to 100 m for Ushuaya Bay inside the Channel. A full year simulation run was carried out to repro- duce the circulation inside the channel as generated by tides, atmospheric and thermohaline forcing.

  • Concepción Chile Temple Fact Sheet

    Concepción Chile Temple Fact Sheet

    CONCEPCIÓN CHILE TEMPLE FACT SHEET The Concepción Chile Temple will be the 160th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide and the second in Chile. (The Santiago Chile Temple was completed in 1983 and renovated and re-dedicated in 2006.) The Concepción Temple will serve some 122,000 Church members in southern Chile and some southwest reaches of Argentina. Location: Avenida Quinta Junge, Concepción, Chile Plans Announced: October 3, 2009 Groundbreaking: October 17, 2015 Public Open House: September 15 - October 13, 2018 Dedication: October 28, 2018 Property Size: 4.06 acres Building Size: 23,095 square feet Building Height: 124 feet, topped with the statue of the Book of Mormon prophet Moroni Architect: Naylor Wentworth Lund Architects (NWL) General Contractor: Cosapi Mas Errazuriz (CME) Exterior Features Building: As with many of the significant religious and secular 19 th century building of Chile, the design of the Concepción Chile Temple is neoclassical with subtle French detailing. The temple is capped with a dome, as are most Chilean religious buildings. Precast concrete has been used on the exterior walls, simulating the faux limestone stucco used in other historic architecture of the region. Seismic Considerations: The Biobio region of Chile experiences high seismic activity with massive earthquakes ranging from 7.8 to 8.8 every 20-30 years. This required significant attention during the design process. A state-of-the-art base isolation system was incorporated. There are 22 “pendulum” type base isolators supporting the temple, allowing it to move 30 inches (75 cm) in any direction, for a total displacement of 60 inches (150 cm).

    Hyatt Place Santiago/Vitacura Opens in Chile 7/15/2014 The opening marks the first Hyatt Place hotel in Chile and on the South American continent CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 15, 2014-- Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) and HPV S.A. today announced the opening of Hyatt Place Santiago/Vitacura in the city of Santiago, Chile. The opening marks the second Hyatt- branded hotel in Santiago and introduces the Hyatt Place brand to Chile and the South American continent. The first Hyatt Place hotel outside the United States debuted in Central America with the 2012 opening of Hyatt Place San Jose/Pinares in Costa Rica. The Hyatt Place brand has since grown its brand presence in Latin America and the Caribbean with locations in Puerto Rico, Mexico and now Chile. Expansion is set to continue in the region later this year with anticipated Hyatt Place hotel openings in Mexico and Panama. Hyatt Place Santiago/Vitacura. Guestroom with Andes Mountain View. (Photo: Business Wire) As Chile continues to cement its rank of being one of the best places to do business in Latin America, backed by its 2013 designation as such by The World Bank, the country is an important business and leisure market for Hyatt. The opening of Hyatt Place Santiago/Vitacura is an important step in Hyatt’s growth in strategic gateway and regional markets throughout Latin America. “Hyatt’s history in Chile spans more than 20 years, beginning when Grand Hyatt Santiago welcomed its first guests,” said Myles McGourty , senior vice president of operations, Latin America & Caribbean for Hyatt.

From the legendary Tierra del Fuego archipelago to magnificent glacier-studded fjords and sweeping pampas grasslands, you too can experience the extremes and contrasts of Patagonia—the tip of South America—which crosses the Andes Mountains from the Pacific to the Atlantic. On this exclusive land and sea journey, assume the role of natural explorer, retracing the bold travels of Darwin and Ferdinand Magellan in southern Chile, a wild landscape still virtually untouched even more than a century after the first European settlers. Discover Santiago and the extraordinary diversity of Patagonia; travel through the crystalline wonders of Glacier Alley to Cape Horn, the “edge of the world.” Visit an award-winning winery in Santiago and walk Punta Arenas’s main square, Plaza de Armas, lined with 19th-century mansions.

Here at Australis we have been navigating the waters of Cape Horn, the Beagle Channel and Strait of Magellan since 1990 as a leading expedition cruise company. During that time our passion and goal has never changed: to transport our guests to another world, one which is wild and beautiful, untouched by humankind and rarely seen by tourists; a unique experience that will not be forgotten. A UNIQUE, UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE WORLD — www.australis.com Australis cruise routes all encompass the hidden canals, fjords and environments of this evocative part of Patagonia. We have access to areas that other cruise operators do not, meaning that your on-land and offshore excursions – whether trekking towards giant glaciers, wandering forest trails or exploring the delights of the Penguin colony – will be in complete isolation. Our itineraries also include a stop at Cape Horn, the southernmost point in the Americas which is often nicknamed the ‘End of the World’.
