  • Landyacht Island 2016 V20160706
    LandYacht Island 2016 V20160706 Abschnitt Seydisfjördur nach Reykjavik: Grundsätzlich kann man nach der Ankunft auf Island Richtung Süden oder Norden fahren. Wir empfehlen, nach Süden zu starten. So kann man vor der späteren Rückreise die Zeit bis zur Fährabfahrt am attraktiven Myvatn-See abpuffern und man ist früh in der Saison an unserer Topattraktion Nr.1 Jökulsarlon, der berühmten Gletscherbucht mit vielen treibenden Eisbergen. Bei unserem zweiten Besuch nur drei Wochen später (Ende Mai) waren etwa 2 Drittel weniger Eisberge zu sehen und am schwarzen Lavastrand waren gar keine Eiskolosse mehr zu finden. Auch haben wir nur beim ersten Mal zahlreiche Robben entdeckt. Eine detaillierte Reisebeschreibung ist für die ersten 800km gar nicht nötig, alle Attraktionen liegen links oder rechts direkt an der Ringstrasse und sind leicht zu finden. Es gibt sehr, sehr viele herrliche Naturschauplätze, die in den Reiseführern gut beschrieben sind. Wir fanden Cap Dyrholaey, die Wasserfälle Skogafoss, Seljalandfoss und den Svartifoss mit dem Gletscher Skaftafell besonders schön. Wenig beschrieben, aber traumhaft schön waren der Fjadrargljufur Canyon, das Wrack einer vor 50 Jahren notgelandeten DC3 am schwarzen Lavastrand, unser geheimer Stellplatz am Gluggafoss und der Urridafoss (siehe Koordinaten). Alleine für diesen Reiseabschnitt hatten wir 14 Tage Zeit und sie wurden mit vielen eindrucksvollen Ausblicken, Fotomotiven und Panoramen belohnt. Schnell begreift man bei der Fahrt, dass der gigantische Gletscher Vätnajökull ein Lebensspender für ganz Island ist: an fast jedem kleineren Wasserfall findet sich eine Farm, für Trinkwasser ist dann gesorgt, Strom kann generiert werden und es fehlt nur noch eine Erdbohrung für kostenlose Wärme; schon beginnt die Tierhaltung oder der Lebensmittelanbau.

  • Report on the Availability of Whale Meat in Greenland
    1 Greenland survey: 77% of restaurants served whale meat in 2011/2012 Greenland claims that its current Aboriginal Subsistence Whaling (ASW) quota of 175 minke whales, 16 fin whales, nine humpback whales and two bowhead whales a year is insufficient to meet the nutritional needs of Greenlanders (people born in Greenland). It claims in its 2012 Needs Statement that West Greenland alone now requires 730 tonnes of whale meat annually. Greenland has around 50 registered restaurants used by tourists, including several in hotels, plus another 25 smaller "cafeterias, hot dog stands, grill bars, ice cream shops, etc.” which are licensed separately.1 WDCS, the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, visited Greenland in May 2011 to assess the availability of whale meat in registered restaurants. In September 2011, WDCS and the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) visited again. In June 2012, AWI conducted (i) a telephone and email survey of all restaurants (31) for which contact information (phone/email) was available and (ii) extensive internet research in multiple languages of web entries referencing whale meat in Greenland’s restaurants in 2011/2012. Whale meat, including fin, bowhead and minke whale, was available to tourists at 24 out of 31 (77.4%) restaurants visited, contacted, and/or researched online in Greenland in 2011/2012. In addition, one other restaurant for which there was no online record of it serving whale meat indicated, when contacted, that though it did not currently have whale meat on the menu it could be provided if requested in advance for a large enough group. Others that did not have whale meat said that they could provide an introduction to a local family that would.

Der Dodo war ein großer, ugunfähiger Vogel, der 1599 von den Europäern auf der Insel Mauritius entdeckt wurde. Von da an wurde diese Spezies gejagt und nur 94 Jahre später, 1693, wurde der Dodo als ausgeroet erklärt. Um anderen Tieren dieses Schicksal zu ersparen, wurde 1963 von Gerald Durrell der „Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust” gegründet. Hauptsitz dieser Organisation ist der Zoo von Jersey, wo bedrohte Tierarten gezüchtet werden, um sie später in ihrer Heimat in Freiheit zu setzen. Der Dodo ist das Logo dieses besonderen Zoos und eben auch von Dodotours, weil wir von dieser Idee sehr angetan waren! 2 FÄRÖER INSELN Naturparadies Färöer Inseln Unser Geheimtipp für alle Naturfreaks: Besuchen Sie die Färöer Inseln, „die schönste und lohnendste Inselgruppe der Welt, unberührt vom Massentourismus“ laut National Geographic.

  • Itinerary - Iceland Ring Road Complete - 15 Days
    Itinerary - Iceland Ring Road Complete - 15 Days DAY 1: FROM REYKJAVÍK TO THE SNÆFELLSNES PENINSULA Are you ready to begin your adventure around Iceland? The first day takes you out of Reykjavík and under the sea, through the Hvalfjarðargöng tunnel, to the friendly town of Borgarnes. Situated in the beautiful Borgarfjörður fjord, with a magnificent mountain view, Borgarnes is home to the fantastic Settlement Center and many Saga sites. Next, you go to the Snæfellsnes peninsula, passing the volcanic crater Eldborg, through a lava field, and a couple of tiny towns by the sea, all offering great hiking opportunities. Now brace yourselves, as you are about to enter a place of (supposed) supernatural powers: Snæfellsjökull glacier and volcano, where Jules Verne based his novel "Journey to the Centre of the Earth". A view to the glacier 1 dominates the park, but it is only visible on relatively bright days. Highlights in the national park include walks on Djúpalónssandur beach, known for its lava formations, pebble stones, and trial stones for strength. Walks by the picturesque cliffs at Arnarstapi is another highlight, especially in the summer when the birdlife can be enjoyed simultaneously. Don't miss a walk to the mysterious black church located close to the yellow sand beach enveloped by black lava at Búðir. Carry on your drive around the peninsula, through several very pretty towns by the sea, including the lovely small town of Grundarfjörður and its beautiful surroundings, dominated by the mountain Kirkjufell. You can also visit the Bjarnarhöfn shark processing exhibition and/or spend some time visiting the beautiful town of Stykkishólmur, with its many pretty houses close to the harbour.

  • Open Jancin Phd.Pdf
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Geosciences VOLCANO-TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF FLATEYJARSKAGI, NORTH CENTRAL ICELAND A Dissertation in Geosciences by Mark D. Jancin © 2010 Mark D. Jancin Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2010 The dissertation of Mark D. Jancin was reviewed and approved* by the following: Barry Voight Professor of Geology and Geological Engineering Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Terry Engelder Professor of Geosciences Derek Elsworth Professor of Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering Donald M. Fisher Professor of Geosciences Katherine H. Freeman Professor of Geosciences Graduate Programs Director *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Lithostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, and K/Ar ages from Flateyjarskagi, north central Iceland, reflect tectonic reorganization of crustal accretion zone activity ~ 7 Ma. Two flood basalt piles are in unconformable contact along this western flank of the Northern Volcanic Zone (NVZ). The older ranges in age from ~ 9.5 to 13 Ma and is largely composed of tholeiite flows. In eastern Dalsmynni the upper to middle portions of this older basaltic pile define a 15°-35° SE dipping, monoclinal flexure developed ~ 6- 7 Ma during early development of the present NVZ. Lavas of a flood basalt group younger than about 6.5 Ma were deposited uncomformably on the older, flexured basalt pile. These postflexure age flows mostly consist of compound doleritic basalts and olivine tholeiites; possible tillites are found in the upper portion of this sequence. The unconformity between the older and younger basalt piles represents a major structural, temporal, and lithological boundary in north central Iceland.
