  • The Eagle's Nest Is Located in Berchtesgaden
    media information… The Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus 1,834m) The so-called Eagle’s Nest teahouse (Kehlsteinhaus) was offered to Adolf Hitler on the occasion of his 50th birthday with the aim of using it for representation purposes for official guests. The challenging construction of the Eagle’s Nest, including the access road was completed in some 13 months’ time. The road leading up to the Eagle’s Nest upper bus terminal area is Germany’s highest and is considered a unique feat of engineering. The brass-line elevator that gives access to the summit is also a distinctive feature of this world-famous attraction. Today the Eagle’s Nest is open to the public and can be seen in its original form. Thanks to its many visitors, proceeds from this sightsseing attraction are used for charitable purposes. Location: The Eagle's Nest is located in Berchtesgaden. Special mountain buses depart every 25 min from Obersalzberg (Kehlsteinbusabfahrt). The journey takes about a quarter of an hour each way. From the parking area at the top, visitors walk 124m (406ft) through a tunnel to the original elevator. The lift transports up to 46 passengers at a time up into the Eagle's Nest building. Local Events and cultural highlights: Road and weather conditions permitting, the building and its road access are open from around mid-May through October. On clear days, visitors to the Eagle’s Nest are rewarded with spectacular views over the Berchtesgaden area, Lake Königssee and Salzburg, as well as with a grandiose mountain panorama of the majestic Berchtesgaden Alps.

FOREWORD Nature conservation and protected areas continue to offer hope to the world un- der circumstances through which the planet faces many profound challenges. De- spite the ongoing destruction and degradation of natural ecosystems as a result of human development, persistent poverty, natural and man-made disasters and accel- erating global climate change, the protected area systems of the world continue to grow in number and extent and attract an increasing share of investment of gov- ernments, development agencies and a wide variety of public and private interests. The Protected Planet Report 2012 provides quantitative measures of this success. It also points towards challenges that remain pertinent, including the challenge of achieving most dimensions of protected area quality. Despite of all the good work, there remain many situations in which protected areas are not managed effectively and at the same time degraded, in which poor governance results in ongoing con- flict and harm, and either as a result of or perhaps leading to situations of unsus- tainable financing.

  • Book Section Reprint the STRUGGLE for TROGLODYTES1
    The RELICT HOMINOID INQUIRY 6:33-170 (2017) Book Section Reprint THE STRUGGLE FOR TROGLODYTES1 Boris Porshnev "I have no doubt that some fact may appear fantastic and incredible to many of my readers. For example, did anyone believe in the existence of Ethiopians before seeing any? Isn't anything seen for the first time astounding? How many things are thought possible only after they have been achieved?" (Pliny, Natural History of Animals, Vol. VII, 1) INTRODUCTION BERNARD HEUVELMANS Doctor in Zoological Sciences How did I come to study animals, and from the study of animals known to science, how did I go on to that of still undiscovered animals, and finally, more specifically to that of unknown humans? It's a long story. For me, everything started a long time ago, so long ago that I couldn't say exactly when. Of course it happened gradually. Actually – I have said this often – one is born a zoologist, one does not become one. However, for the discipline to which I finally ended up fully devoting myself, it's different: one becomes a cryptozoologist. Let's specify right now that while Cryptozoology is, etymologically, "the science of hidden animals", it is in practice the study and research of animal species whose existence, for lack of a specimen or of sufficient anatomical fragments, has not been officially recognized. I should clarify what I mean when I say "one is born a zoologist. Such a congenital vocation would imply some genetic process, such as that which leads to a lineage of musicians or mathematicians.

    Report Azerbaijan Rome, 2020 FRA 2020 report, Azerbaijan FAO has been monitoring the world's forests at 5 to 10 year intervals since 1946. The Global Forest Resources Assessments (FRA) are now produced every five years in an attempt to provide a consistent approach to describing the world's forests and how they are changing. The FRA is a country-driven process and the assessments are based on reports prepared by officially nominated National Correspondents. If a report is not available, the FRA Secretariat prepares a desk study using earlier reports, existing information and/or remote sensing based analysis. This document was generated automatically using the report made available as a contribution to the FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020, and submitted to FAO as an official government document.

  • Late Cretaceous to Paleogene Exhumation in Central Europe – Localized Inversion Vs
    https://doi.org/10.5194/se-2020-183 Preprint. Discussion started: 11 November 2020 c Author(s) 2020. CC BY 4.0 License. Late Cretaceous to Paleogene exhumation in Central Europe – localized inversion vs. large-scale domal uplift Hilmar von Eynatten1, Jonas Kley2, István Dunkl1, Veit-Enno Hoffmann1, Annemarie Simon1 1University of Göttingen, Geoscience Center, Department of Sedimentology and Environmental Geology, 5 Goldschmidtstrasse 3, 37077 Göttingen, Germany 2University of Göttingen, Geoscience Center, Department of Structural Geology and Geodynamics, Goldschmidtstrasse 3, 37077 Göttingen, Germany Correspondence to: Hilmar von Eynatten ([email protected]) Abstract. Large parts of Central Europe have experienced exhumation in Late Cretaceous to Paleogene time. Previous 10 studies mainly focused on thrusted basement uplifts to unravel magnitude, processes and timing of exhumation. This study provides, for the first time, a comprehensive thermochronological dataset from mostly Permo-Triassic strata exposed adjacent to and between the basement uplifts in central Germany, comprising an area of at least some 250-300 km across. Results of apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He analyses on >100 new samples reveal that (i) km-scale exhumation affected the entire region, (ii) thrusting of basement blocks like the Harz Mountains and the Thuringian Forest focused in the Late 15 Cretaceous (about 90-70 Ma) while superimposed domal uplift of central Germany is slightly younger (about 75-55 Ma), and (iii) large parts of the domal uplift experienced removal of 3 to 4 km of Mesozoic strata. Using spatial extent, magnitude and timing as constraints suggests that thrusting and crustal thickening alone can account for no more than half of the domal uplift.
