<p>Lindenow Fjord or Kangerlussuatsiaq, is a fjord in the King Frederick VI Coast, Kujalleq municipality, southern Greenland. The fjord is named after Godske Lindenov , admiral of the Danish Navy noted for his role in King Christian IV&#39;s expeditions to Greenland.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Lindenow Fjord extends in an WNW/ESE direction for about 64 km. To the east the fjord opens into the North Atlantic Ocean south of Nanuuseq Fjord. Nanuuseq Island lies close to the northeast of the northern end of its mouth and larger Queen Louise Island at the southern end of its mouth.</p><br>
<p>The fjord branches at its head with a number of glaciers feeding its waters. The Nørrearm, its largest tributary fjord, has its mouth on the northern shore of Lindenow Fjord, about 22 km from the Lindenow Fjord&#39;s mouth. A little further west the Sønderarm, a smaller tributary fjord, branches southwards.</p><br>
<p>Igdlukulik, an archaeological site with the ruins of a former Inuit settlement lies by the shore where the Nørrearm branches north.</p><br>
<h3>Mountains</h3><br>
<p>The massive Tiningnertok (Apostelen Tommelfinger), a 2,291.48 m ultra-prominent peak, rises steeply at 60&deg;35&prime;54&Prime;N latitude, 43&deg;49&prime;13&Prime;W longitude from the shore east of small Tininnertooq Bay on the northern side of the middle section of the Lindenow Fjord, west of the mouth of the Nørrearm. Akuliarusersuaq is another massive peak rising rising at 60&deg;34&prime;13&Prime;N latitude, 43&deg;44&prime;4&Prime;W longitude to a height of 1,534.67 m 3 km to the southeast.</p><br>
<p>The Charles H. Ingraham House is a historic house at 907 Popham Road in Phippsburg, Maine. Built in 1897, it is one of the finest Shingle style houses in Phippsburg, and is Maine&#39;s only known design by Providence, Rhode Island architect Howard K. Hilton. The house is now known as Stonehouse Manor, a bed and breakfast inn.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ingraham House is located in southernmost Phippsburg, sandwiched on a rural parcel between a wooded section of northern Popham Beach State Park and Fort Baldwin Memorial Park. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof extending over the top 1-1/2 stories, and extending over a front porch featured a fieldstone skirt and posts. The roofline is punctured by a variety of dormers, in different sizes and roof treatments. The interior retains original high-quality woodwork and leaded windows, with bedroom fireplaces featuring unique custom tilework in a vaguely Moorish theme. Its main entrance and staircase are stylistically reminiscent of interior designs of H.H. Richardson.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1897 for Charles H. Ingraham, a banker from Providence, Rhode Island. Designed by Providence architect Howard K. Hilton, who was best known for his work in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, it is the only known design of his in Maine. Ingraham had apparently harbored hopes that a fashionable summer colony would develop around his property and an adjacent hotel (now demolished). Since 1996 it has been operated as a bed and breakfast inn.</p><br>
<p>The Brick School is a historic one-room schoolhouse on Cushman Road in Winslow, Maine. Built about 1810, it is one of the oldest surviving district schools in the state of Maine. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and is now owned and maintained by the town&#39;s historic preservation committee</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Brick School is located on the east side of Cushman Road in the rural southern part of the town of Winslow. It is a small single-story brick building, with a gabled roof that has clapboarded gables, and a stone foundation. It is oriented facing south, with the gable ridge perpendicular to the street. The main facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the left bay, and sash windows in the other two. The north facade also has two sash windows, while the street-facing west facade has no openings. The interior has a small coatroom and fireplace on the west, with the classroom occupying most of the space.</p><br>
<p>The school&#39;s construction date is uncertain from surviving town records, but it is known to have been built sometime between 1799 and 1820, when it is mentioned in a deed. It was used as a school until 1865, and remained vacant or used as storage until 1972, when the Winslow Historical Society acquired it. The Society lapsed due to inactivity, and its functions have since been taken over by the town.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas H. Palmer House is a historic house at 2636 United States Route 7 in Pittsford, Vermont. Built in 1832, it is a relatively upscale brick house, with Federal and Greek Revival styling. It is notable as the home Thomas Palmer, an influential figure in the development of Pittsford and state-level educational standards in the mid-19th century. The house, currently serving as The Inn at Logan&#39;s Run, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Palmer House is located south of Pittsford&#39;s village center, a short way southeast of the junction of US 7 and Vermont Route 3, on the northeast side of the road. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building, set at the back of a semicircular drive. It has a gable roof and is set on a marble foundation. The main facade is five bays wide, with a central projecting two-story gable-roofed section. This section consists of a two-bay window on the second floor, and a porch sheltering the main entrance on the first. The porch is supported by square posts mounted on paneled blocks, and has a dentillated cornice. The interior of the house follows a typical center hall plan, with its only significantly preserved interior in the double-size parlor on the left, which retains original high-style Greek Revival woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1832 for Thomas Haig Palmer, a Scottish immigrant and educator who moved to the area from Philadelphia, and his wife, Joanna Fenton from Georgia, Vermont. With brothers George Palmer and James Watt Palmer he had printed some of the first foreign language publications in the country, including promotional material for Simon Bolivar of Venezuela, as a young professor in Bogota informed a descendant recently.</p><br>
<p>The relatively high style sophistication of the interior is attributed to Palmers time in a sophisticated urban environment, and is relatively unusual for the rural setting. Palmer was an important force in improving the school system in Pittsford, where he began serving as school superintendent in 1828. His improvements drew statewide notice, and he was a leading force in drafting updates to the states education standards in the 1840s. He had a young family, and was motivated to see his children get a proper secondary education as he had received in Scotland. His house has since 2007 served as a bed and breakfast inn.</p><br>
<p>The Farmers Mutual Reinsurance Company Building is a historic structure located in Grinnell, Iowa, United States. "The Iowa Farmers Mutual Reinsurance Association was the first statewide organization of its kind in the United States." When it moved to Grinnell from Jefferson, Iowa in 1934 its name was changed to Farmers Mutual Reinsurance Company. It was still a relatively small operation at the time that required only simple rented upstairs quarters. The present building was first occupied in 1951, but only the first two floors were built. The top two floors were completed in 1957, and gave the building its present form. The company rented out the first floor to other commercial businesses. Farmers Mutual Reinsurance Company moved out of building in 1962 to a larger complex south of Grinnell, and at that time became known as the Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company. This building was sold to the General Telephone Company, which occupied the whole building until 1968. The Trustees of Iowa  College, GTE Data of Iowa, and DeLong&#39;s Sportswear have all subsequently owned the building.</p><br>
<p>Des Moines architect Gerald I. Griffith was responsible for designing both phases of the Modern Movement structure. Both phases were built by the Lovejoy Construction Company, also of Des Moines. The main facade is composed of gray shot-sawn Indiana limestone panels. The lower two floors feature bands of windows. The upper two floors are all stone veneer that is ornamented with a random patterning of projecting panels that have been sand blasted to a smoother surface, with shot-sawn panels. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Goodnow Hall is a historic structure located on the Grinnell College campus in Grinnell, Iowa, United States. A tornado struct the colleges campus in 1882, and this was one of four buildings that replaced the destroyed buildings. It is now the oldest building on campus. The other three are no longer extant. The building is named for Edward A. Goodnow, who was a well-known abolitionist and reformer who promoted public education for women. It was converted into office space and classrooms after that time. It was renovated again in 1995, and it housed the Department of Anthropology and later the Department of Gender, Womens, and Sexuality Studies. The three-story building was designed by Worcester, Massachusetts architect Stephen C. Earle in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. It features a tower on the northwest corner of the structure that was originally capped by a domed astronomical observatory. The exterior is composed of rusticated Sioux Falls granite. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Ketil  is a 2,010 m–high mountain in southern Greenland, in the Kujalleq municipality.</p><br>
<p>Ketils granite walls are similar to Tiningnertoks (Apostelen Tommelfinger), another massive peak in the east coast.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Together with Nalumasortoq and Ulamertorsuaq, Ketil is part of the group of three massive largely unglaciated rocky mountains rising in the peninsula of the mainland which forms the eastern side of the Tasermiut Fjord.</p><br>
<p>In the same manner as its slightly lower neighbour Ulamertorsuaq, Ketil has become popular among mountain climbers owing to its higher than 1000 m sheer western granite wall. It is considered one of the most challenging Big Walls on Earth.</p><br>
<p>This mountain is marked as a 2,003 m peak in some sources.</p><br>
<p>Mears Cottage, also known as Mears Hall, is a historic structure located on the Grinnell College campus in Grinnell, Iowa, United States. Originally known as Iowa College, it was the second institution west of the Mississippi River to admit women as students. The first degree was awarded to a woman ten years later. The increase in the number of female students and a destructive tornado that hit the campus in 1882 were the impetus for rebuilding the campus. The building opened on January 1, 1889, with thirty women and a housemother as residents. Each room contained closet space, toilet, medicine cabinet, dresser, study table with attached shelves, chairs, rug and cot. It was the first building on campus with electric lights, installed in the 1890s. New York City architect Charles D. Marvin designed the expansion of the building in 1903, and by 1915 it was connected to other buildings in the women&#39;s quadrangle. The building became coed in 1978, and closed the next year because of its deteriorating condition. It sat unused for several years until alumni John H. and Lucile Hanson Harris provided the funds for its renovation. It reopened in 1986. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Sheldon Theatre is a historic performance venue in Red Wing, Minnesota, United States, built in 1904. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 as the T.B. Sheldon Memorial Auditorium for having local significance in the theme of performing arts. It was nominated for being the first municipally owned theatre in the United States and a long-standing cultural venue in Red Wing. It later became a contributing property to the Red Wing Mall Historic District as well.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1856, Massachusetts businessman Theodore B. Sheldon moved to Red Wing with his first wife, Mary. Sheldon was very prominent in the small, growing town of Red Wing. He first joined Jesse McIntire and established himself in the mercantile business. Sheldon was involved with numerous other industries in Red Wing, including grain, banks, railroads, stoneware, and gas and power. Most prominently, he and McIntire established Red Wing&#39;s First National Bank in 1865. Sheldon also unified the Bluff and Diamond flour mills to establish Red Wing Mills, which have been described as the pride of Red Wing.</p><br>
<p>When Sheldon died in 1900, his will required that half of his estate be used for a public, nonsectarian purpose in the town of Red Wing. On March 3, 1903, Sheldon&#39;s trustees proposed the idea of T.B. Sheldon Memorial Auditorium, and the city council approved it. Eighteen months later, the new theater stood on the corner of Third Street and East Avenue. It was managed by the city of Red Wing.</p><br>
<p>The theater opened on October 10, 1904, with a performance of the light comic opera The Royal Chef. The opening ceremonies also included a performance by the Rossiter Orchestra from Minneapolis.</p><br>
<p>From the beginning, some feared that the theater would have a demoralizing effect on the town. During opening night, several seats were left vacant in protest. In the 1920s, Red Wing church groups took their concerns to the city council. They petitioned, unsuccessfully, for greater censorship and for Sunday shows to be discontinued.</p><br>
<p>The theater was originally used for live performances. It primarily showed lighter fare, like musical comedies and romantic dramas. In 1911 the theater began projecting silent movies. After a fire in 1918, the theater was refurbished by the original architecture firm, overseen by Lowell Lamoreaux. Among the improvements was a movie projection box. The theater re-opened with a viewing of the movie Tom Sawyer, which signaled its shift away from live theater and toward film.</p><br>
<p>During the 1920s and 1930s, the theater became a popular and profitable movie house. Red Wing was fortunate not to suffer considerably during the Great Depression. In 1929, the theater began showing sound movies or "talkies". It was remodeled in 1936 to improve the visuals and acoustics for showing films.</p><br>
<p>The auditorium began to experience trouble in the 1950s. A nationwide slump in moviegoing slowed its profits, and unwise investments in improvements sunk its funds. The theater was further threatened in 1957, when John Wright brought two lawsuits against it. Wright, the owner of a competing theater, alleged that the city had an unfair advantage over private entrepreneurs. He also filed suit to argue that a movie theater was not "public" and the auditorium was therefore in violation of Sheldon&#39;s trust.</p><br>
<p>In 1958 the Minnesota Supreme Court ordered the auditorium to quit the movie business. The theaters board found a way around the ruling, however, by leasing the theater to James Fraser. Fraser had been the theaters manager, and he continued to show movies there. In 1960 the Minnesota Supreme Court handed down its final decision, which was unanimously in favor of the auditorium.</p><br>
<p>Poor management caused continued financial problems for the theater in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1984 the board established a task force to raise money to restore the theater. The restored theater re-opened in 1988. The theater projected its last movie in May 1988, but it continued to host live entertainment. In 2012 the auditorium was offering a range of live programming that included both highbrow and middlebrow events.</p><br>
<h2>Performing Arts Theatre</h2><br>
<p>The MISSION of Red Wing’s “jewel-box,” the Sheldon Theatre, is to showcase the best in arts and entertainment for the enjoyment, education, and enlightenment of the community and its visitors.</p><br>
<p>The Sheldon is a cornerstone community partner, a regional arts hub, and a national trailblazer in the rise of small-town performing arts centers.

<p>At the Sheldon with its remarkable architecture and intimate charm, theres a kind of "wow" even before the show begins, and audiences know they are a part of something special. People come to the Sheldon to see exceptional performers from all over the world in a breathtaking setting. With steadfast community support over the Sheldons long history, the organization has been able to continue to push the boundaries, with progressive productions and new features that are sure to open the mind, expand horizons, and inspire wonder. It is our hope that you leave with a fresh perspective and an unforgettable experience every time you revisit the Sheldon..</p><br>
<p>The Devil&#39;s Castle  is a conspicuous mountain rising above the Kaiser Franz Josef Fjord at the SE end of Andrée Land in eastern Greenland.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Devil&#39;s Castle is a prominent mountain of reddish rock with a lighter stripe extending diagonally across its face. It is located within the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord about 100 km from the mouth, close to the southern side of Cape Petersens, the NW extremity of Ymer Island. It rises steeply from the shore of the first bend of the fjord, south of Eleonore Bay.</p><br>
<p>This striking and easily noticeable mountain was named Teufelschloss ("Devils Castle" or "Devils Palace") by the Second German North Polar Expedition led by Carl Koldewey that first surveyed and partially explored the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord in 1869–70.</p><br>
<p>The Head Tide Historic District encompasses a formerly industrial, now rural village at the head of tide of the Sheepscot River in Alna, Maine. The area had been industrially active since the mid-18th century, but its mills declined and were all destroyed by 1949, leaving a predominantly residential area with a number of houses dating mainly to the period before 1860. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Head Tide Village is located in northern Alna, and is centered on a stretch of Head Tide Road spanning the Sheepscot River between Maine State Route 218 and Maine State Route 194. The majority of the villages buildings are on the east side of the river, but its major public buildings, the 1838 Head Tide Church and the old schoolhouse, are on the west side. Just east of the bridge stands the former Jewett General Store building (1884). The river banks on both sides are in some places lined with the foundational remnants of the villages industrial past, most below the dam (first built 1760) a short distance upstream from the bridge.</p><br>
<p>Settlement along the Sheepscot River by colonial settlers began in a significant way only with the end of hostilities with Native Americans in 1760. In that year, Lincoln County was established, and in 1761 Doctor Silvester Gardiner acquired a land grant that included the Head Tide area. One of his early land sales was to David Nelson, who built the first dam. Originally part of Newcastle, the village was substantial enough to be set off in 1794 as New Milford (after the large number of mills at Head Tide), later renamed Alna. In the early 19th century the village had six water wheels powering lumber, grist, and textile processing operations, and the village was the town&#39;s economic center.</p><br>
<p>Advances in technology, and the area&#39;s remote location, worked against it in the late 19th century. In 1896 a spring freshet destroyed the mills on one side of the river, and a fire destroyed those on the other side in 1924. Only one mill was rebuilt after these events, and it was torn down in 1949.</p><br>
<p>Pawlet Town Hall houses the municipal offices of the town of Pawlet, Vermont. Located at 122 School Street in the village center, it was built in 1881 as a combined town hall, meeting and performance venue, and retail establishment. It has served as town hall since its construction, and is a good local example of late Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Pawlet Town Hall is located in the village center of Pawlet, on the north side of School Street. It is set on a terrace overlooking Flower Brook, a short way east of its confluence with the Mettawee River. It is a large two-story wood frame structure, with a gable roof topped by an ornate square cupola. A single-story hip-roofed porch extends around three sides of the building. The upper floor windows are narrow round-arched windows with moulded decorative sills and lintels. The ground floor has irregularly spaced doors and sash windows. On the interior, the ground floor is partitioned into four spaces, which historically served as the clerks office, library, and a retail space. The latter has since been taken over by town functions, housing additional administrative offices and the selectmens meeting room. The upstairs houses a large auditorium with stage and dressing rooms.</p><br>
<p>Prior to the construction of this building, the town&#39;s meetings were typically held in local taverns and churches. The town authorized construction of this building at the 1881 town meeting. It was built in partnership with a local businessman, Marcellus Wheeler, who donated the land and built most of the ground floor. He sold his interest in the building to Charles Taylor, who operated a general store in the retail space. Prior to its acquisition by the town, the retail space also hosted the town post office, a millinery shop, and the local Grange chapter. With the Grange in decline, the town purchased the commercial portion of the building in 1943.</p><br>
<p>The archaeological site Peñas de Cabrera, containing numerous rock shelters, is located in the municipality of Casabermeja . The entire surrounding area of Las Peñas de Cabrera, rife with natural minerals, rocks and fossils, is named after one of its districts of the same name. The entire complex of mountains and valleys consists of many shelters revealing rock art of paintings and engravings.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1970s the University of Málaga began research in Peñas de Cabrera, focusing particularly on its rock and cave paintings. Thereafter the area became well known to the scientific community, as the University had laid the groundwork for all subsequent exploration. The shelters and caves were later studied by eminent researchers who carried out archaeological surveys, tracings, and topographical mappings and drew up an inventory of rock and cave paintings. One hundred and thirty five cave paintings spread out over twenty shelters were discovered.</p><br>
<p>As of 2016 thirty-two rock shelters featuring paintings, engravings and archaeological material, mainly ceramic and flint (Silex), have been recorded. Alongside these are also a number of shelters being studied that show scientific potential, but which are pending investigation depending upon the results of further archaeological surveys.</p><br>
<h2>Rock and cave paintings</h2><br>
<p>The rock and cave art is found in shelters made of sandstone. The paintings, of symbolic character, appear in twenty-five of these shelters and date from the post paleolithic era. Within their complex designs, one finds isolated patterns grouped together. The designs were produced with different shades of red mainly using the fingers. Anthropomorphic shapes predominate and were represented in a variety of ways, some with added elements showing headdresses, costumes, weapons, etc. The painted objects themselves are also varied and remain characteristic of these displays; they comprise arrangements which are circular, branched, bi-triangular, quadrangular, braided, comb-like and ocular.</p><br>
<p>The groupings of Anthropomorphic forms, or stylized human figures, together with a quadrangular object and a stick or pole bearing an inscription, appear most frequently. Most of the time this particular group of abstract human figures is found alongside objects.</p><br>
<h2>Engravings</h2><br>
<p>In general, there are two types of engravings, showing linear illustrations of bowls and cups, appear inside seven of the shelters. Only four of the shelters contain this one type of bowl and cup engravings while other categories of engravings appear alongside the paintings in other shelters. Bowl and cup engravings have also been discovered outside the shelters, on horizontal surface areas.</p><br>
<h2>Interpretation</h2><br>
<p>It is believed that geological accidents unearthed these rock and cave paintings and engravings. Thus, the study of the shelters has allowed one to verify the relationship between the rock and cave paintings and the area in which they developed. Bearing witness to this act is an anthropomorphic figure, located in the shelter No. 12, with its arms in a circle. The figure can be observed from a viewpoint situated behind the top of Fraile and from the cliffs of Gomer and Dona Ana during the sunrise in the summer solstice. It now seems apparent that the shelters were not only places of symbols and worship, as even the most mundane activities took place, as shown in shelter number 51 which has a silex workshop. It is also speculated that there may be other reasons for the unusual land-forms one finds in el Torcal.</p><br>
<p>Connected to the shelters are a number of structures, the meaning of which is difficult to interpret because of their uniqueness. They are thought to be enclosures formed by stones in some cases. Specifically, the larger structure, also known as "the atrium", is in the shape of a semicircle and stands in front of the shelters.</p><br>
<h2>Dolmen del Tajillo del Moro</h2><br>
<p>The Dolmen del Tajillo del Moro complements the rock and cave painting of Peñas de Cabrera and shares a similarity to its ritual and symbolic nature. After its excavation, a Megalithic structure was found consisting of an oval chamber and a corridor divided into two parts which served as a tomb for three individuals. The trousseau is made of ceramic material containing globular and hemispherical bowls and plates, largely completed with pieces of silex (flint), among other things.</p><br>
<h2>Legal status</h2><br>
<p>On December 22, 2012, the Ministry of Culture of the Andalusian Historical Heritage Institute along with the Council of Andalusia decreed and made into law that Peñas de Cabrera would be considered an official archaeological and historical site. At that time, it was recommended and accepted that certain categories in the area would receive special protection. A procedure for registration and delimitation was initiated into the General Catalog of the Society of the Andalusian Historical Heritage of Cultural Interest. Groups named which would benefit from this classification included the ensemble of cave and rock paintings of Peñas Cabrera, cave paintings of Peñas Cabrera, the rock shelter complex of Peñas Cabrera and the cave shelters of Peñas Cabrera. The official documents mentioned the contents of each cave shelter in meticulous detail, the measurements of their precise area, the number of cave shelters containing each type of object, along with many other specifics and technical particularities.</p><br>
<p>The Center Valley Well House is a historic pump house on the grounds of the Center Valley Elementary School on Arkansas Highway 124 in Russellville, Arkansas. It is an open-walled square stone structure, consisting of low stone walls and corner posts, which support a shallow-pitch pyramidal roof. The roof has exposed rafter ends in the Craftsman style, and the walls are capped by concrete coping. Two of the walls have openings, which provide access  to the interior of the structure, which has a concrete floor. It was built in 1940 to shelter the well providing water to the original 1939 school building, using materials left over from its construction. It is a distinctive, yet modest, example of WPA architecture in the community.</p><br>
<p>The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Confederate Mothers Memorial is a public park at Skyline Drive and West 19th Street in Russellville, Arkansas. The park covers about 20 acre, most of which is unimproved woodlands. Near the junction of the two roads is a gravel parking lot, in which are three stone monuments, each one placed by a different Confederate veterans or memorial organization, with inscriptions honoring the mothers of the Confederacy.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Land for the park was donated in 1921 to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the monuments were dedicated that year. Plans to further develop the park with other amenities have never been realized. It is believed to be the only Confederate memorial of its type in the state.</p><br>
<p>The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Medina of Sousse is a Medina quarter in Sousse, Governorate of Sousse, Tunisia. Designated by the UNESCO a World Heritage Site in 1988, it is a typical example of the architecture of the early centuries of Islam in Maghreb.</p><br>
<p>It encompasses a Kasbah, fortifications and the Great Mosque of Sousse. The Medina today houses the Archaeological Museum of Sousse.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Medina of Sousse is located in the Tunisian Sahel and forms an outstanding archeological site. First, because of the time it was built (at the dawning of Islamic civilization, making it one of the earliest construction after the Islamic conquests in Maghreb). And second, because of the location of the Medina, a site that required protection against piracy and plunder.</p><br>
<p>The constructions comprised in its precincts, witnessed the early post-conquest civilisations. Its architectural style, from the time of the Aghlabid, is representative of the military coastal constructions of the era, meant to be stout and imposing, so as to ward off foes.</p><br>

<p>Waltershausen Glacier  is one of the major glaciers in Greenland.</p><br>
<p>It has its terminus on the east coast of the Greenland ice sheet. This glacier was named after German geologist Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen by the Second German North Polar Expedition led by Carl Koldewey that first surveyed and partially explored the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord in 1869–70.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Waltershausen Glacier flows from the NW between Strindberg Land and Hudson Land into the head of the Nordfjord, a branch of the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord, one of the largest fjords in East Greenland. The Waltershausen Nunatak is a large nunatak in the upper section of the glacier and Bartholin Land is a land area on the northern side.</p><br>
<p>Nordfjord is a fjord in the NE Greenland National Park area, East Greenland.</p><br>
<p>The fjord was named in 1899 by Swedish Arctic explorer A.G. Nathorst during the expedition he led to Greenland. In 1931 a scientific station known as Nordfjordhuset was built on the western shore of the fjord at the time of the 1931–34 Treårsekspeditionen.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Nordfjord is a wide fjord part of the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord system. It is located between Strindberg Land and the Gauss Peninsula and has the large Waltershausen Glacier at its head. To the south the fjord opens into the northern shore of the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord —about 64 km from the Foster Bay of the Greenland Sea— where it reaches a width of 13.3 km with depths between 18 and 49 m.</p><br>
<p>The Brogetdalen, known as "multicolored valley" owing to the different colours of the mountains surrounding it, is a large valley in Strindberg Land that drains east to the Nordfjord. A river enters the fjord 16 km north of the entrance through the Muskox Fjord (Moskusokse Fjord), a long tributary fjord or arm that enters Nordfjord from its eastern shore close to the head.

<p>Wordie Glacier  is a glacier in northeastern Greenland. It has its terminus on the east coast of the Greenland ice sheet.</p><br>
<p>This glacier was named after Scottish polar explorer James Wordie (1890–1962) by the 1926–27 expedition led by Lauge Koch.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Wordie Glacier is quite large and several nunataks rise above it. It flows for about 80 km from the NW east of Stenoland and west of Payer Land. The glacier has several branches, including the Vibeke Glacier and the smaller Iris Glacier to the west, and the Granta Glacier that drains into the Granta Fjord to the east. Faraway How and C. H. Ostenfeld Nunatak are located in the Wordie Glacier.</p><br>
<p>The terminus of the Wordie Glacier is in the Wordie Bay, a small bay of the Godthab Gulf, southwest of Clavering Island. The Jordan Hill, a conspicuous 1,410 m high promontory rises by the shore on the northern side of the terminus of the Wordie Glacier. About 40 kilometers to the NNE lies the Tyrolerfjord, the terminus of the Copeland Glacier (Pasterze Glacier).</p><br>

<p>The Capitol Complex Historic District encompasses the principal historic elements of Maines state administration complex at Capitol and State Streets in Augusta, Maine. Included in the district are the Maine State House, Capitol Park, The Blaine House , the Burton Cross Office Building, and a number of state-owned 19th century residences in the vicinity of the Blaine House. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The state of Maines central administrative complex is located on the west side of Augusta, the capital city, south of its downtown area. State Street (United States Route 201) runs south from the downtown area, providing the main access to the area. On the west side of that road stands the Maine State House, its core structure and landscaping designed by Charles Bulfinch. West of the state house stands the Burton Cross Office building, a modern 1950s granite-faced structure. On the east side of the state house, across state street, is the 20 acre Capitol Park, part of the citys original land grant to the state for the capitol complex. It includes landscape features designed by the Olmsted Brothers landscape architectural firm.</p><br>
<p>North of the state house, across Capitol Street, is The Blaine House, a National Historic Landmark property that now serves as the official residence of the Governor of Maine. Built in 1833 and enlarged in the 1860s and 1870s by James G. Blaine, the house was given to the state in 1919. It was redesigned for use as the official residence by John Calvin Stevens, and its grounds are also landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers.</p><br>
<p>Adjacent to, and across the street from, the Blaine mansion, are three houses that were purchased by the state in the 20th century to provide a buffer area around the mansion grounds. These properties include two Greek Revival houses built in the 1830s, and the 1911 Guy P. Gannett House, the only significant example of Mediterranean Revival architecture in Kennebec County. At the rear of the Burton Cross Office Building, across Sewall Street, stands the 1897 Romanesque Revival Nash School, which was purchased by the state in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur Perkins House is a historic house at 242 South Main Street in Rutland, Vermont. Built in 1915, it is a Colonial Revival brick house with unusual cast and poured concrete trim elements. It was built for the owner of a nearby clay processing business. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Perkins House stands near the southern Rutland city limit, at the southeast corner of Curtis and South Main Streets (the latter designated United States Route 4). The area is now a mixed commercial and residential area. The house is a 2-1/2 story masonry structure, set near the front of a large landscaped lot that extends east to Chase Avenue. It has a gabled roof, the gable eaves extended and adorned with carved brackets, and the front roof facade pierced by a gabled dormer on the right, and a slightly projecting gable section on the left. The left section shelters a polygonal window bay on the second floor. A single-story hip-roof porch extends across the front, fashioned largely out of concrete, including precast Tuscan columns mounted on pedestals, with precast concrete balustrades between. The interior of the house retains original woodwork and other decorative features.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1915-16 by Albert Bissell for Arthur Perkins, owner of the Rutland Fire Clay Company, whose plant, then located just to the east, had been built out of fire resistant materials by Bissell five years earlier. Perkins father founded the company in 1872, at first processing low-grade iron ore, but shifting to clay when the mines proved a better source of that material. Perkins took over the firm in 1898. The company plant was destroyed by fire in 1902, and its replace also succumbed to fire in 1910, sparking Perkins interest in fire-resistant construction methods. The house&#39;s exterior is built largely out of such materials, with major structural elements of its porches made of concrete poured in place. Perkins served as mayor of Rutland 1927-35.</p><br>

<p>Capitol Park is a state-owned public park in Maine&#39;s state capitol complex on the west side of Augusta, Maine. Set aside in 1827, when the complex was established, the park, set between the Maine State House and the Kennebec River, served as a parade ground and encampment site during the American Civil War, and saw agricultural use before being formally designed as a park in the 1920s by the Olmsted Brothers. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Capitol Park is located on the western bank of the Kennebec River, from which it is separated by a former railroad right-of-way. It is about 20 acre in size, and roughly rectangular in shape, bounded by Capitol, State, and Union Streets. The terrain slopes upward from the river to State Street, which separates the park from the grounds of the Maine State House.</p><br>
<p>The people of Augusta gave the state the parcel of land that makes up the park and state house grounds in 1827, laying out State Street to provide access. The state planted a line of trees along State Street, and also established a boulevard from the state house site to the river. As part of the landscaping of the state house grounds, Charles Bulfinch articulated a design for the park that established a series of terraces descending to the river. In 1842 a granite monument to Governor Enoch Lincoln was installed near the parks eastern edge. By the 1850s, a second line of trees had been added, with paths along each row providing the main circulation pattern. All of this landscaping was lost when the area was used as a staging ground for the states troops in the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War, the park was plowed, and briefly used for agriculture. By 1878 it had again been converted into a park, with a somewhat similar circulation pattern to its prewar state. In the 1920s, the state hired the Olmsted Brothers to prepare a master landscaping plan for its properties, which included the park, the state house grounds, and the adjacent governor&#39;s mansion. Work on the park to implement this design was overseen by Portland landscape architect Carl Rust Parker.</p><br>
<p>The Pittsford Green Historic District encompasses the heart of the traditional village center of Pittsford, Vermont. Centered on a stretch of United States Route 7, the village&#39;s development began in the late 18th century, and now consists almost entirely of buildings from the 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now th etown of Pittsford was first permanently settled by colonists in 1769, and the area that is now its village center began to take shape around 1795, with the opening of a tavern, the founding by Israel Keith of an iron foundry nearby, and the establishment of a marble quarry by Jeremiah Sheldon across Otter Creek to the west. The village became a stagecoach stop on the main road between Rutland and Vergennes, now United States Route 7. The village green, located on the east side of US 7, took a more definite shape with the construction of the Congregational Church in 1837. By the turn of the 20th century, most of the area&#39;s industries were in decline, the marble quarries being the notable exception.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends from the northern end of the village green southward along Main Street (US 7), to a four-way junciton with Elm and Arch Streets where US 7 turns sharply to the east. The village green is roughly triangular in shape, and is lined on the east side by houses, with the Congregational Church set prominently on a rise at its north end. Most of the buildings in the district are wood frame residences. There are only five brick buildings: one is the church, another is the Romanesque Maclure (Walker Memorial) Library (1894–95). Five of the surviving houses date to the 1790s, representing the earliest surviving period of development.</p><br>
<p>The Shiloh Baptist Church  is a historic Baptist church at 810 Sophia Street in downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia. The church is a two story brick building with predominantly Classical Revival styling, modeled to some degree after the Presbyterian Church of Fredericksburg, with later alterations. The church was built in 1890 for a predominantly African-American congregation, whose origins lie in a mixed-race Baptist congregation founded in 1804. That congregation split about 1815, worshipping in a building at this site, and became known as the Shiloh Baptist Church with the construction of a new building here in the 1830s. In 1849 the large congregation again divided, with most of its white members leaving to form the Fredericksburg Baptist Church at Princess Anne and Amelia Streets. Services were discontinued during the American Civil War, and the existing building was damaged, in part due to abuse caused during military occupation of the city. It collapsed in 1886, and the present building was constructed in 1890 as its replacement. However, due to a schism in the congregation, two separate groups claimed the name "Shiloh Baptist", which was resolved by giving the one at this location the name "Shiloh Baptist Church ", which it still retains.</p><br>
<p>The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>

<p>The Chandler Store is a historic formerly commercial building on Maine State Route 27 in the center of the Belgrade Lakes village of Belgrade, Maine. Built in 1838, it is one of only two known commercial buildings in the state to be built out of granite blocks. It is now a private residence. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Chandler Store building stands on the west side of SR 27, on land that fronts on Long Lake to the west. The building is a 2-1/2 story structure, built out of blocks of dressed granite, with a side-gable roof. The main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the center bay, topped by a lintel in which "BUILT J. CHANDLER 1838" is incised. Sash windows occupy unadorned rectangular openings, as does the entrance. On the south (left) facade, a two-story wood frame porch is covered by a flat roof, with square posts as support.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1838 for J. Chandler by two Irish masons. Chandler supposedly hired the two men "for 50% and all the rum they could drink", to quarry the stone in nearby Vienna, and to build the structure. The stones were brought to the site by hauling them by sled across Long Pond when it was frozen in winter. In 1922 Charles R. Brown hired a mason to cut additional windows, and in 1927 added the porches as part of the building&#39;s residential conversion.</p><br>
<p>The Poultney Central School is a historic former school building on Main Street in the village center of Poultney, Vermont. Built in 1885, it is a high quality example of Late Victorian Italianate architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and has been converted into residential use.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Poultney Central School is located in the village center of Poultney, next to the Poultney United Methodist Church. It is set back from Main Street, with a level grassy park in front, divided by the entry drive and parking area. The building is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, its exterior finished in red brick veneer. It is covered by a gable-on-hip roof, with a square cupola at its center. Center sections project to the north (rear) and south (front) facades, also toppedy by gable-on-hip roofs, with the side roof elevations pierced by dormers. The corners of the front facade and projecting section are highlighted by brick pilasters, which also divided the bays of the center section. Ground floor windows are set in segmented-arch openings, and second-floor windows are set in round-arch openings. The entrance is set in a round-arch opening, with a two-part round-arched window above.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1885 by Ashley Wilson, a local builder; its architect is not known. It is a distinctive landmark in Poultney&#39;s village center, with the park in front one of the few green spaces on Main Street in the downtown area.</p><br>
<p>The Little Rock to Cantonment Gibson Rd-Fourth Street Segment is a history stretch of 19th-century roadbed in rural Pope County, Arkansas. It consists of about one mile of gravel roadway, now designated Fourth Street, east of Atkins, extending from Union Grove Loop in the west to Oakland Drive in the east. It is about 18 ft wide, and is built on an embankment for much of its length. Completed by early 1828 as a military road connecting Little Rock to what is now Fort Gibson in Oklahoma, the road is historically significant for its use as part of the Trail of Tears removal of eastern Native Americans to the Indian Territory that is now Oklahoma.</p><br>
<p>The road section was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Leicesters Church, originally known as St Davids Church, Denbigh, is a large ruined Church near to the hill top castle at Denbigh, North Wales. It was built for Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, from 1578, but financial difficulties meant work stopped in 1584. When the Earl died unnexpectedly in 1588 the project was abandoned. It had been the only large Church-building project in Elizabethan England or Wales. On Robert Dudley&#39;s death with no heir, his estates reverted to the Crown, as a roofless enclosed space. It is now a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument, cared for by Cadw, the Welsh historic environment service.</p><br>
<h2>Standing ruins</h2><br>
<p>The ruined church has stood as an empty shell since work ceased in 1584, enclosing a substantial rectangle of 54.9 m by 22.9 m. Removal of stonework has taken place from the south wall and east gable, whereas the north aisle wall and west end remain at their original full height. 10 bays, with Tudor arched windows, and the remains of Tuscan pillars show this would have been in a Renaissance style, very different from the church gothic style that ceased to be built at the Reformation. Because so few new churches were built in the century following the reformation, Leicesters Church is probably the most significant and ambitious example of Protestant church building in the Elizabethan period&#39;.</p><br>
<h2>Lordship of Denbigh</h2><br>
<p>The first Lord of Denbigh was Henry de Lacy, who in 1284 was granted one of a number of Marcher Lordships granted by Edward I as what were in effect personal fiefdoms. Successive lords held the lordship of Denbigh, sometimes bitterly disputed, until, via the Mortimers, it came to be held by Edward of York. When he became King Edward IV in 1461, Denbigh lordship passed back to the crown. Under Tudor reforms of 1535–42, the Marcher Lordships were brought within the kingdom, abolishing their autonomy. The Lordship of Denbigh, although merged with the Crown, retained its own identity, and in 1563, Elizabeth I granted the lordship to Robert Dudley. There was no legal basis for this grant, but his power and status were such that he was able to behave as though he had the same sort of fiefdom as the lords once had. The people of Denbigh did not think well of this arrangement, and some rebellious behaviour resulted. Dudley, in 1564 also made the Earl of Leicester, undertook a number of town improvements to pacify the people of Denbigh. He built a town hall and a market hall, and in 1579 laid the foundation stone of a new church, the first to be built since the reformation.</p><br>
<h2>Puritan cathedral</h2><br>
<p>The Earl of Leicester&#39;s plans for his new church were on a grand scale. It was dedicated to St David, and he apparently hoped to make it a new protestant cathedral instead of St Asaph Cathedral. As a proponent of the puritan movement within the English Reformation, he wanted to emphasize preaching as the focus of Anglican services, rather than the celebration of the mass. The wide rectangular preaching house allowed closer proximity to the pulpit, to hear sermons, rather than celebration of the mass at a distant east end altar. The hiatus in Church governance, finance and patronage caused by the Reformation meant that from 1536 no significant new Church building was undertaken throughout England and Wales for the next 100 years. The attempt by the Earl of Leicester to build such a church stands in isolation as the only example of its kind. The result would have been both liturgically and stylistically very different from the gothic style buildings the Anglican Church took over. Large, Tudor style windows running the length of the nave would have ensured a well lit building. Tuscan columns and Renaissance features would have looked modern and international.</p><br>
<h2>From construction to ruin</h2><br>
<p>In 1584, five years into the building process, work came to a halt. In the same year his three year old son died. The death of his only legitimate child, styled Baron Denbigh, was a dreadful blow both personally and for his dynastic ambitions, as it left him without an heir, with little expectation that his 40 year old wife would have another child. No further work was made on the incomplete Church. The particular problem would appear to be financial. Building a huge stone Church was prohibitively expensive even for an Earl. Whether due to this, or other expenses, the following year Dudley had to mortgage his lordship of Denbigh for £15,000, to pay his debts. Three years after that, in 1588, the Earl of Leicester himself died unexpectedly. With no heir, all his estates and titles reverted to the Crown. Queen Elizabeth I paid off the mortgage on the Denbigh lordship in 1592, but clearly neither she nor anyone else was interested in progressing the building works, and it remained the property of the Crown rather than the local diocese. Instead it was quarried as a supply of stone and other building materials. Even where the walls remain at full height they mostly have gaping unframed windows where the dressed ashlar has been stripped out.</p><br>
<h2>State protection</h2><br>
<p>The Church stood as an open ruin from then on. Reputedly used for cockfights and even dueling, it has had no formal purpose since. It is designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a grade I listed building. Responsibility for its preservation was taken up by the Ministry of Works, and subsequently by Cadw, who gradually acquired a number of properties around the town. Denbigh Castle, 150 mters to the south, was sleighted during the English Civil War and the Town Walls run close by the Church site. St Hilary&#39;s Chapel Tower is 50 yards away, and the Carmelite Denbigh Friary is at the other end of Vale Street.

<p>The Joseph and Hannah Maxcy Homestead is a historic house at 630 South Union Road  in South Union, Maine. Built in 1802 by Ebenezer Alden, a regionally well-known housewright, it is one of the finest period examples of Federal architecture, with high-quality interior woodwork. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Maxcy Homestead stands in the rural village of South Union, on the east side of South Main Street nearly opposite its junction with Middle Road. The main block of the house is a fairly large 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. It is nearly square, five bays wide and five bays deep, and has three facades, with center entrances on the north, west, and south sides. The main entrance is on the south-facing facade, and features Doric pilasters flanking the door, and a half-round transom window and gabled pediment above. This treatment closely resembles Plate 40 of William Pain&#39;s 1795 The Practical House Carpenter. The interior of the house as virtually intact period woodwork, include fine carvings in all of the downstairs rooms, and slightly less ornate finishes in the upstairs bedrooms.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1802 for Joseph Maxcy, who had moved to the area in 1788 from Attleboro, Massachusetts, as part of a second wave of settlement in the town. The builder was Ebenezer Alden, whose most famous area work was General Henry Knox&#39;s Montpelier mansion in Thomaston (destroyed and since reconstructed as a museum). It is probable that Alden used the same carving tools for this house as he did for Montpelier and his own house, built in 1797. Both houses have similar stylistic touches.</p><br>
<p>Guallatiri , also known as Huallatiri, Huallatire, Guallatire and Punata) is a 6,071 m volcano in Chile. It is located southwest of the Nevados de Quimsachata volcanic group. It is a stratovolcano with fumaroles around the summit, which may be either a lava dome or a pyroclastic cone. The lower flanks of the volcano are covered by lava flows and lava domes.</p><br>
<p>Guallatiri has been active in historical times with a number of eruptions, the last in 1960. Fumarolic and seismic activity is ongoing. The volcano is covered by an ice cap.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Guallatiri is located in the Putre commune, Parinacota province of Arica y Parinacota, Chile. Parinacota, Quisiquisini, Guallatiri and Poquentica form the eastern limit of the Lauca basin.</p><br>
<p>The towns of Putre, Socoroma and Zapahuira are closest to the volcano. The volcano is located in the Lauca National Park, along with the two higher Pomerape and Parinacota volcanoes. Sometimes Guallatiri is considered to be part of the Nevados de Quimsachata volcanic chain, a 50 km long chain of volcanoes.</p><br>
<p>Other volcanoes with historical phreatic-phreatomagmatic activity in northern Chile include Irruputuncu, Isluga, Lascar and San Pedro. Further, fumarolic activity has been reported at Alitar, Lastarria, Olca, Ollague, Putana and Tacora.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Guallatiri is a complex volcano. Dacitic lava domes are also present. The summit is formed by a pyroclastic cone. Alternative interpretations see it as a lava dome or a hydrothermally altered, scree-covered lava plug. The vent lies south of the summit. The summit crater is breached westwards and northwards. The volcano is principally constructed from lava flows. Lava flows radiate from the summit and lava domes dot its flanks. Some lava flows are up to 7 km long and 100 m high. Thick lava flows are particularly noticeable on the western and northern slope of the volcano. Guallatiri is 1,700 m above the basement rocks and has a total volume of 40 km3. "Breadcrust" lava bombs are found on the northern flanks, probably carried there by glaciers. Other eruption products include ash flows and tephra layers. The former are particularly developed on the south-southwest flank and the tephras particularly on the southern-eastern flanks.</p><br>
<p>Guallatiri is underpinned by the rocks of the Lauca Formation, which has an age of 10–0.5 million years. An older basement domain known as the Lupica formation is exposed north, west and south of the volcano and contains sediments and volcanic rocks. It is of Oligocene-Miocene age. Like other volcanoes in the area, it formed on top of the Chilean Altiplano.</p><br>
<p>Guallatiri may have formed during the Pliocene. During the Pleistocene volcanic activity recommenced. Two stages of volcanic activity in the Pleistocene-Holocene have been identified. Volcanic activity in the Quimsachata volcanic chain migrated south from the now deeply eroded Acotango and Humarata volcano to the more recent Capurata and Guallatiri volcanoes. There is evidence indicating that lava flows forming the Stage I of activity were erupted during the middle Pleistocene and the lava domes forming Stage II were erupted in the Pleistocene-Holocene. The lava bombs on the northern flank suggest that small volume activity occurred in recent times.</p><br>
<h3>Glaciation and hydrology</h3><br>
<p>Guallatiri has glaciers, including one on the summit. It is the most southern volcano in the Central Andes with an ice cap, with a surface area of 6,000 m&sup2;. South of Guallatiri tropical summer precipitation is insufficient to support glaciation; only south of 27° does winter precipitation become sufficient to support glaciers again. Fumaroles have melted holes in the glaciers. Thin moraines are preserved on the flanks at altitudes of 4,260 m.</p><br>
<p>These glaciers drain towards the Chungara river. A number of streams and dry valleys originate on Guallatiri. Parts of the western and southern flank drain into the Rio Lauca.</p><br>
<h3>Petrology</h3><br>
<p>Guallatiri has erupted andesite, dacite and rhyolite, with dacite dominating. Pyroxene andesites are found up to 4,800 m of altitude. Analysis of lava at Domo Tinto lava dome has indicated phenocrysts include amphibole, biotite, pyroxene and some apatite. Mafic inclusions have also been found in Domo Tinto rocks. The Domo Tinto eruption may have been triggered by the injection of basaltic andesite into two magma chambers containing crystalline andesite. Native deposits of sulfur are also found.</p><br>
<p>Domo Tinto rocks have been analyzed for isotope and chemical composition studies. They are potassium-rich calc-alkaline rocks as is typical for Andean volcanism in this area. On the basis of petrology magma temperatures of the Tinto rocks have been estimated at 790 &deg;C for the andesitic component and 890 - for the basaltic andesite component. SiO2 contents range from 58 to 75%, with dacites having a content of 63–70%.</p><br>
<h3>Eruptive activity</h3><br>
<p>Solfataric activity is ongoing. In 1985 and 1987 yellow (sulfur containing) steam clouds were reported, with altitudes of 500 m above the summit. The fumaroles are located in the crater, the southern flank and the southern flank where they reach over 300 m down. The fumaroles are reported to make "jet"-like noises. ASTER imaging has indicated temperature anomalies of up to 8 kelvins. Mud pots have also been observed.</p><br>
<p>Likewise, the volcano features ongoing seismic activity, including about two earthquakes per day and three seismic swarms in 2011–2012. Another earthquake swarm is associated with the 2001 Peru earthquake. No deformation of the edifice has been observed, however.</p><br>
<p>A lava dome on the southern flank (Domo Tinto) was K-Ar dated at 5,000 ± 3000 BP. Its eruption was probably a relatively tranquil effusive eruption. Ash eruptions are reported in the first half of the 19th century. 1913 and 1959 glow was observed in the summit crater, and a phreatic eruption was reported in 1960. Activity is also reported for 1779, 1802, 1826–1831, 1850, 1859, 1864, 1864, 1870, 1902, 1904, 1908, 1912 and 1959. Guallatiri is one of northern Chile&#39;s most active volcanoes. In 2015 volcano alert levels on Guallatiri was temporarily raised due to deformation of the edifice and changes in the seismic activity.</p><br>
<h2>Threats and preparedness</h2><br>
<p>The Chilean National Geology and Mining Service does keep a record of regular reports of the activity status of Guallatiri. A hazard map exists of Guallatiri with three areas of different risk. The red zone occupies the areas interested by late activity of the volcano and river valleys, in total most of the upper parts of the volcano. The orange and yellow zones are areas threatened in the case of medium-large and large scale eruptive activity, respectively.</p><br>
<p>Flank eruptions, lahars and pyroclastic flows are hazards associated with Guallatiri. The town of Guallatiri on its southern flank is especially threatened. Explosive activity with eruption columns of 20 km height may result in ashfall in Arica and Putre depending on the season. There are small villages in western Bolivia that may be impacted by Guallatiri tephra.</p><br>
<h2>Religious and archeological importance</h2><br>
<p>Unlike on several other Andean summits, no Inka archeological sites are visible on Guallatiri, perhaps discouraged by the persistent volcanic activity.</p><br>
<p>It is said that townfolk of Guallatire worshipped the mountain from nearby mountain Capurata. Even today churches in Ancuta and Guallatire point towards the volcano.</p><br>
<p>The Poultney Main Street Historic District encompasses the commercial and residential historic core of the village of Poultney, Vermont. Centered on Main Street and East Main Street, between College Avenue and St. Raphael&#39;s Catholic Church, the district includes a diversity of architectural styles, as well as civic, religious, and commercial functions spanning a period of more than 100 years. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Poultney was settled in 1771, and by 1800 had developed two distinct village centers. Poultney village is the western of the two, and eventually came to dominate economically over the original town center at East Poultney. Its Main Street was laid out oriented east-west, inside an arcing bend in the Poultney River. The principal intersection was first made with the stagecoach route between Burlington and Albany, New York, at Beaman Street (Vermont Route 31 heading north) and Grove Street (Vermont Route 30, heading south). The village&#39;s importance as a transit stop was further cemented by the arrival of the Rutland and Washington Railroad, which paralleled the stage route to the west, and the development of the slate quarrying industry. The slate industry survived until the Great Depression of the 1930s. The result of this development history is an architecturally diverse Main Street.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends along Main Street, a broad boulevard, from College Avenue in the west to St. Raphaels Catholic Church, east of Route 30, to the east. In addition, it includes properties adjacent to the railroad tracks on Depot, Church, and Knapp Streets, and extends a short distance on Beaman and Grove Streets. Most of the buildings one or two stories in height, with the commercial buildings general two story brick buildings with commercial Italianate styling. The western section is mainly residential, set between the railroad tracks and the campus of Green Mountain College, while the commercial and civic area extends from the railroad tracks east. The majority of the districts buildings are either Italianate or Colonial Revival in style, although there are examples of Greek Revival, Queen Anne, and Craftsman architecture as well.</p><br>
<p>Torsukattak is a fjord in far southern Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Kujalleq municipality.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Torsukattak Fjord is located to the southwest of Prince Christian Sound near the Cape Farewell Archipelago. The fjord is oriented in a roughly north/south direction and in the south it opens into the Labrador Sea of the North Atlantic Ocean. It separates large Pamialluk Island in the east from the mainland to the west of the fjord. Stordalen Havn is located at the bend 20 km into the fjord where it bends to the east for 7 km and connects with the Qoornoq Strait and the Ilua Fjord of the Prince Christian Sound system.</p><br>
<p>The islands of Sullat and Nunarsuaq —the latter rising to a height of 939 m— lie at the mouth of the fjord. There are further smaller islands near them.</p><br>

<p>The Jim Scott Fishhouse is a historic building in Grand Marais, Minnesota, United States, built in 1907 by a family-owned commercial fishing outfit. During the fishing season it served as a place to dress and pack fish, while over the winter it was used for the storage and repair of fishing gear. The Jim Scott Fishhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 for having local significance in the theme of commerce. It was nominated for being a representative of the important commercial fishing industry on the upper North Shore of Lake Superior.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Jim Scott Fishhouse stands on the waterfront of Grand Marais Harber. It is a rectangular, wood-frame building with a footprint of about 30 by. A wood-frame shed addition measuring 10 by is attached to the north wall. The south wall is pierced by a wooden door. The main section has a gable roof covered in tar paper, while the shed has tar paper walls and a metal roof.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>James Garfield Scott (1881–1947), better known as Jim Scott, was a second-generation commercial fisherman. His father Andrew Jackson Scott had settled in Grand Marais in the 1870s, initially working as a trapper before becoming a commercial fisherman around 1900. Jim Scott, born in Grand Marais in 1881, joined his father in business as soon as he was old enough. The younger Scott purchased this waterfront property in 1907 and built the fishhouse and a dock.</p><br>
<p>The waters of western Lake Superior teemed with schools of lake whitefish and lake trout. Since the initial Euro-American settlement of the North Shore in the 1850s there had been some commercial fishing. However transportation to market was an issue until the mid-1880s, when regular steamboat service to Duluth and rail distribution to Minneapolis–Saint Paul were firmly established, allowing the North Shore fishing industry to achieve commercial significance. Residents all along the North Shore entered the business, many receiving loans from Duluth-based fish wholesalers to acquire boats and gear.</p><br>
<p>Shortly after the completion of his fishhouse, Jim Scott entered into a business partnership with Eugene Clark and permitted the unmarried man to live in a loft above the workspace. The two achieved success not only as fishermen but as fishing boat builders before Clark died in 1915. Scott&#39;s son Roger ultimately joined his father in the business when he came of age.</p><br>
<p>The Scotts started their fishing season as early as possible each year, as soon as the ice was gone from Grand Marais Harbor. On a typical day they were out of the harbor by 5 a.m., motoring four hours to cover 35 mi to a location near Outer Island where lake trout were abundant. They would spend six hours playing out over 4 mi of fishing net and reeling it back in. They cleaned the day&#39;s catch on the way back to harbor, where they packed it in ice at the fishhouse. In fall they would fish for herring near Duluth.</p><br>
<p>In the mid-1930s Jim and Roger Scott built a new boat for themselves, a 35 ft fishing tug that could handle their long trips out on the lake and also serve as a workboat in the harbor. They named her the Nee-Gee, an anglicization of the word for "friend" in the Ojibwe language. It had a 110-horsepower engine, a 24 in propeller, a large cabin that opened onto the bow, and was designed so a crew of three could set the fishing nets without leaving the cabin. The Nee-Gee was also used around the harbor to add logs to timber rafts about to be towed to paper mills in Ashland, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>Jim Scott was one of the most successful fishermen in the area. He also became an industry and community leader in Grand Marais. He helped found a fisherman&#39;s cooperative, a trucking company for fish and freight, and a congregational church, plus served as president of the local bank from 1920 to his death in 1947. He collapsed and died while working on the dock near the fishhouse.</p><br>
<p>The Great Lakes commercial fishery nearly collapsed as well, depleted by years of overfishing and the accidental introduction of the parasitic sea lamprey, but the industry survived by shifting to herring and smelt. The fishhouse remained in the Scott family for decades and continued to serve its original purpose into the 1980s. It was still owned by two of Jim Scotts grandchildren in 2004, though they were doing their fish processing in an adjacent building and using the historic structure for boat and gear storage. A 2008 travel guide mentions the fishhouse as having become part of the North House Folk School campus. The Nee-Gee fishing tug remained in service into the 1960s. Eventually taken out of the water, it was donated to the Cook County Historical Society in the late 90s. It is on public view in Grand Maraiss municipal waterfront park and is gradually being restored by volunteers.</p><br>
<p>The Wildgall  is, at 3,273 metres above sea level, the third highest peak in the Rieserferner Group, a range in the western part of the High Tauern. It lies within the Italian provinces of South Tyrol in the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park  and appears from the south as a massive pyramid with prominent arêtes. It is the most difficult of the summits of the Rieserferner Group to climb. As a result it was conquered relatively late. Its first recorded ascent was on 18 August 1872 by Victor Hecht from Prague and mountain guides Johann and Sepp Ausserhofer from Rein in Taufers. Today the mountain may be climbed from the Kasseler Hut  to the north in about four hours, but it is rarely attempted.</p><br>

<p>The Governor William King House, also known locally as the Stone House, is a historic house on Whiskeag Road in Bath, Maine. Built in 1812, this stone houses lancet-arch windows are one of the first examples of Gothic Revival architecture in New England. The house was built as a summer retreat for William King, who led the drive for Maine statehood, and served as the states first governor. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The King House is located in a rural area of northern Bath, on the south side of Whiskeag Road. It is a 2-1/2 story stone structure, built out of dressed granite blocks and covered by a gabled roof. The main facade faces to the east, and is three bays wide, with a central entrance flanked by tall sash windows with multipane lancet-arch sections rising to the eaves. The roof is topped by a square cupola. The interior of the building retains well-preserved but restrained Federal period woodwork.</p><br>
<p>William King (1768-1852) was one of Baths leading businessmen and merchants of the early 19th century. He was a leader of the Massachusetts militia (Maine then being a part of that state) during the War of 1812. He was an instrumental figure in promoting Maines statehood, and in the drafting of its constitution, and was elected its first governor in 1820. He acquired a large tract of land in this area in 1809-13, on which he planted an orchard. He had this house built about 1812 as a summer retreat; his principal residence was more centrally located in Bath.</p><br>
<p>The Auburn Commercial Historic District encompasses the main late 19th-century historic downtown area of Auburn, Maine. The twelve buildings in the district represent the citys growth between 1855 and 1902, housing businesses, professional offices and social halls, and also the citys municipal offices. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Auburn rose on the banks of the Androscoggin River with the humble beginnings of a log driver&#39;s camp in the late 19th century, and did not benefit in the 19th century industrialization the way neighboring Lewiston did, which had a more suitable siting for textile mills. A bridge across the river in 1822-23 spurred some development, including along the roads which are now Main and Court Streets. The arrival of the railroad in 1848, and the choice of Auburn in 1854 to be the seat of the new Androscoggin County cemented the importance of the area where downtown Auburn is now located.</p><br>
<p>Court Street is the continuation in Auburn of Lewistons Main Street, and is named for the Androscoggin County Courthouse and Jail, located several blocks west of the bridge on the north side of the street. The commercial historic district is on the south side of this part of the road, running from High Street in the west to Main Street in the east. Main Street parallels the river, with the block between Court and Drummond Streets lined with 19th-century buildings. Notable among this are Auburns historic and present city halls; the latter, known as Auburn Hall, was designed by Gridley James Fox Bryant and built in 1865. The current city offices stand just to its north on Court Street, in a 2004 building, sensitively designed to blend in with its neighbor by Harriman Associates.</p><br>
<p>The Proctor-Clement House is a historic house at 85 Field Avenue in Rutland, Vermont. It was built in 1867 for Redfield Proctor, a prominent local lawyer and businessman who came to own the Vermont Marble Company and served as Governor of Vermont. A fine example of Italianate architecture, it now houses the Antique Mansion Bed and Breakfast. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Proctor-Clement House is located in a residential area near the northern city limit of Rutland, opposite the Rutland Country Club at the junction of Field Avenue and Grove Street. It is a roughly square two-story wood frame structure, with clapboard siding and a shallow hip roof topped by a square belvedere. The building corners are pilastered, and the eaves are studded with paired Italianate brackets. The main entrance is sheltered by a shallow portico with bracketed chamfered posts. The interior has a central hall plan, with a combination of Italianate and Colonial Revival features, dating either to the period of construction or an early 20th-century renovation. The dining room walls have been painted with a series of murals that probably date to the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1867 by Redfield Proctor, then a well-off lawyer and businessman, in what was then a fashionable residential area on the city&#39;s outskirts. In 1871 Proctor moved to Sutherland Falls, where he had become involved the Sutherland Falls Marble Company. Proctor was instrumental in the establishment by merger of the Vermont Marble Company, and it was through his efforts that Sutherland Falls was set off from Rutland as the town of Proctor, and that West Rutland, another major marble quarry area, was also separated from the city. Proctor served as Governor of Vermont (as did two of his sons), and as United States Secretary of War under President Benjamin Harrison.</p><br>
<p>The house remained in Proctor&#39;s ownership until his death in 1909, and was then owned by the locally prominent Clement family.</p><br>
<p>The River Maine  is a river in County Kerry, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>History and legend</h2><br>
<p>According to an ancient tradition recorded in Lebor Gabála Érenn, three rivers "burst forth" during the reign of Fíachu Labrainne as High King of Ireland. One was Innbhear Mainge — the Maine. The Annals of the Four Masters contains the same story, but spells it Mand.</p><br>
<p>The Metrical Dindshenchas records Inber Cíchmaine, cid cress, gáet co líth-baile láech-bress Maine ergna, úais ella, mac Medba ocus Ailella. ("At Inber Cichmaine, though it be narrow, was slain (a mighty onslaught) far-famed Maine, son of Medb and Ailell, exulting in fury of warlike combats.")</p><br>
<p>The Maine was the traditional division of the Kingdom of Desmond: south of the Maine was controlled by the Gaelic MacCarthys, while north of the Maine was controlled by the Norman Earl of Desmond.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The River Maine rises at Tobermaing and flows westwards. It passes through Castleisland and under the N23, then meets its main tributary, the Brown Flesk. It continues through Currans and is bridged by the N22. In Castlemaine it passes under the N70, flows past the Ardcanaght Stones and enters the harbour.</p><br>
<h2>Pollution</h2><br>
<p>In 2014 the river was reported as polluted with ammonia.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The River Maine is a noted salmon and sea trout fishery. The brook lamprey also lives in it.</p><br>
<p>The Mescal Mountains are a series of connected mountain ridges in southern Gila County, Arizona. Their highest point is El Capitan Mountain, which has an elevation of 6,568 ft  and a prominence of 1,828 ft . The highest point has a topographic isolation of 5.98 miles , with the nearest point of equal or greater elevation being to the north west in the Pinal Mountains. The mountain ridges are visible in the east from Arizona State Route 77 between Globe and Winkelman.The range is approximately 10 miles west of San Carlos Lake, which lies in the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation; the ridges themselves also mostly fall within the boundary of the reservation, with the exception of the western section and the high point. As such, hiking the ridge may require special permission from San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation, although no trails exist on the mountains themselves or leading to them.The ridge&#39;s relative proximity to the more visually dominant Pinal Mountains  make it an often-overlooked feature. The range is one of many to occur in the Arizona transition zone.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The ranges&#39; high point of El Capitan Mountain is located at the coordinates 33.2001°N, 110.7562°W. The mountains are located in southern Gila County, Arizona, on the southwestern boundary of the San Carlos Indian Reservation, and the nearest towns are Christmas and Winkelman to the south.</p><br>
<p>Sam Ford Fiord is an isolated, elongated Arctic fjord on Baffin Island&#39;s northeastern coast in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. The Inuit settlement of Pond Inlet is 320 km to the northwest and Clyde River is 80 km to the east.</p><br>
<p>This fjord is reputed for the harsh beauty of its landscapes with rocky cliffs rising steeply from the shore. It is also a popular place with climbers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sam Ford Fiord had been one of the traditional hunting areas of the Inuit.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Sam Ford Fiord stretches roughly from NNE to SSW for about 110 km. Its mouth, located between the Remote Peninsula and Erik Point, is over 18 km wide, the width of the fjord narrowing gradually to an average of 3 km about 50 km inland. Walker Arm is a tributary fjord branching west from the fjords western shore about 45 km to the south of its mouth. The Stewart Valley —with its awesome Sail Peaks stretches northwards from Walker Arms NW corner and connects with the neighbouring Gibbs Fiord. Swiss Bay is a smaller inlet on the eastern shore of Sam Ford Fiord connecting through Ottawa Creek and the Revoir Pass with the inner reaches of neighbouring Eglinton Fiord in the east. The Sam Ford River discharges its waters at the head of the fjord further south and Heimen Island is located within the inner section of the fjord off a small bay 15 km to the NNE of the river&#39;s mouth.</p><br>
<p>Sam Ford Fiord is known for its glaciers and its awe-inspiring stark granite cliffs, rising steeply from its shores to heights up to 1,500 m above sea level in the area near Swiss Bay. Among the most impressive summits by the fjord Beluga Mountain, Rock Tower, Walrus Head, Broad Peak, Ottawa Peak, Sikunga Mountain, Turnagain Peak, and the Paalik Peak deserve mention.</p><br>
<p>A massive cliff on the eastern shore located at a bend in the fjord 49 km from its mouth at 70&deg;37&prime;51.82&Prime;N latitude, 70&deg;55&prime;0.33&Prime;W longitude has a vertical wall dropping from a height of 1368 m to the fjord&#39;s waters.</p><br>
