Pablo Neruda's house

Casa de Isla Negra was one of Pablo Neruda's three houses in Chile. It is located at Isla Negra, El Quisco, San Antonio Province, Valparaíso Region about 85 km to the south of Valparaíso and 110 km to the west of Santiago. It was his favorite house and where he and his third wife, Matilde Urrutia spent the majority of their time in Chile. Neruda, a lover of the sea and all things maritime, built the home to resemble a ship with low ceilings, creaking wood floors, and narrow passageways. A passionate collector, every room has a different collection of bottles, ship figureheads, maps, ships in bottles, and an impressive array of shells, which are located in their own "Under the Sea" room.
Neruda and his wife Matilde Urrutia are buried there, with a clear view of their beach. In English, Isla Negra means "Black Island," which refers to a rock outcropping nearby, however Isla Negra is not, in fact, an island.
During the winter, the area is subject to heavy rains, which inspired Neruda to write his Oda a la Tormenta (Ode to the Storm). Isla Negra was also Neruda's inspiration for many other poems.
The house is now a museum, managed by the Pablo Neruda Foundation, and has become a popular tourist destination.]]>

Margot Honecker née Feist (born 17 April 1927) is a former Communist politician, who was a prominent member of the political elite in East Germany. From 1963 until 1989, she was Minister of Education ("Volksbildung") of the GDR. She was married to Erich Honecker, the head of state of the GDR until its downfall in 1989.

Honecker, who was known for her hard line political views, was responsible for the enactment of the "Uniform Socialist Education System" in 1965 and mandatory military training in schools. She was also responsible for the forced adoption of children of jailed dissidents or people who attempted to flee from East Germany, which meant that their children were taken away from them and given to communist parents.

Following the downfall of the communist regime in 1989, Honecker fled to Russia with her husband to avoid criminal charges, but was expelled by the Yeltsin government and subsequently emigrated to Chile.

FerroCarril Trasandino de Chile (FCTC, Chilean Transandean Railway)

Rack railway locomotive built by Kitson & co. 0-8-6-0cog configuratio

A rack-and-pinion railway (also rack railway, cog railway) is a railway with a toothed rack rail, usually between the running rails. The trains are fitted with one or more cog wheels or pinions that mesh with this rack rail. This allows the trains to operate on steep grades above 7%, which is the maximum for adhesion-based rail. Most rack railways are mountain railways, although a few are transit railways or tramways built to overcome a steep gradient in an urban environment.

Cerro Azul

@ 2011-06-22 16:12:49
Cerro Azul (blue hill in Spanish), sometimes referred to as Quizapu, is an active stratovolcano in the Maule Region of central Chile, immediately south of Descabezado Grande. Part of the South Volcanic Zone of the Andes, its summit is 3,788 meters (12,428 ft) above sea level, and is capped by a summit crater that is 500 meters (1,600 ft) wide and opens to the north. Beneath the summit, the volcano features numerous scoria cones and flank vents.

Cerro Azul is responsible for several of South America's largest recorded eruptions, in 1846 and 1932. In 1846, an effusive eruption formed the vent at the site of present-day Quizapu crater on the northern flank of Cerro Azul and sent lava flowing down the sides of the volcano, creating a lava field 8–9 square kilometers (3–3.5 square miles) in area. Phreatic and Strombolian volcanism between 1907 and 1932 excavated this crater. In 1932, one of the largest explosive eruptions of the 20th century occurred at Quizapu Crater and sent 9.5 cubic kilometers (2.3 cu mi) of ash into the atmosphere. The volcano's most recent eruption was in 1967.]]>

The Type 23 frigate is a class of frigate serving with the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom. All the ships are named after British Dukes, thus the class is also known as the Duke class. The first Type 23 was commissioned in 1989, and the sixteenth, HMS St Albans was launched in May 2000 and commissioned in June 2002. The combination of Merlin helicopters with their advanced anti submarine equipment, and Sonar 2087, has according to the Royal Navy, re-affirmed its reputation as a leader in anti-submarine warfare.

The sixth HMS Norfolk (F230) was laid down in 1985 by Yarrow Shipbuilders. She was launched on the Clyde by H.R.H. the late Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon in July 1987. She was commissioned on the 1st of June 1990. HMS Norfolk was the 'first of class', as well as being the first of a new generation of 'Lean Man Crew' ships.

HMS Marlborough (F233) was a 'Duke'-class Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy, and the sixth ship to bear the name. She was named after John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough.

HMS Grafton (F80) was a Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy. It was the ninth vessel to bear the name, and is named after the Duke of Grafton.

In 2003, the ship was used in the ITV drama series Making Waves as the fictional Royal Navy warship Suffolk. In early 2004 the ship was deployed in the Persian Gulf. In July 2004, it was announced that Grafton would be one of three Type 23 frigates to be decommissioned by the end of 2006.

In June 2005, it was announced that Grafton would be sold to the Chilean Navy . She was delivered to Chilean Navy on 28 March 2007 in Portsmouth and renamed Almirante Lynch (FF-07).]]>

Four Batch 3 ships remain in service with the Royal Navy. Seven ships of the earlier batches have been sold for further service with Brazil, Romania and Chile, two have been sunk as targets and the other sold for scrapping.

HMS Sheffield (F96) was a Type 22 frigate of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom. She was originally intended to be named Bruiser but was named Sheffield in honour of the previous Sheffield (D80), a Type 42 destroyer sunk in the Falklands War.

HMS Sheffield was decommissioned on 4 November 2002. After 14 years service, which included providing humanitarian assistance to Nicaragua and Honduras after Hurricane Mitch (which earned her the Wilkinson Sword for Peace along with HMS Ocean), the Strategic Defence Review of 1998 (updated 2001) saw the end of her career.

She was sold to Chile on 4 September 2003 and renamed Almirante Williams (FF-19) in honour of Juan Williams Rebolledo. She is slated for a major refit in 2008, which will see the installation of a 76mm cannon, surface-to-surface missiles (Harpoon), and more advanced electronics. Some sources state that the Barak anti-missile system will be installed, these having been retrieved (and refurbished) from decommissioned County Class destroyers. The Barak is more advanced than the current Sea Wolf system installed on Type 22 frigates, although they both are for anti-missile defense.]]>

The Jacob van Heemskerck class frigate was a class of frigates of the Royal Netherlands Navy. They were built to be an air defence version of the Kortenaer class frigate. 2 ships were built for the Dutch Navy and have recently been sold to the Chilean Navy. The helicopter was replaced by a Standard medium range SAM system and associated radars]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/jacob-van-heemskerck-class-frigate/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/jacob-van-heemskerck-class-frigate/ Thu, 28 Oct 2010 18:27:10 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/jacob-van-heemskerck-class-frigate/ -33.03014100 -71.62310400 <![CDATA[Quinta Vergara Amphitheater]]>

This trek through the Andes on foot, which took Nando and Roberto from the Flight 571 crash site, northeast of Volcano Tinguiririca, to their rescue location on the banks of the Rio Azufre, took 9 days. The first 3 days of the journey were spent simply climbing to the summit of the mountain they were crashed on, which was in the neighborhood of 15000 feet high. The last 6 days were spent trekking southwest, along the bed of the Rio Azufre. Of course, on the 9th and final day, they were found by Sergio Catalan and their journey was over.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/uruguayan-air-force-flight-571-nando-and-robertos-journey-through-the-andes/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/uruguayan-air-force-flight-571-nando-and-robertos-journey-through-the-andes/ Fri, 22 Oct 2010 13:33:22 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/uruguayan-air-force-flight-571-nando-and-robertos-journey-through-the-andes/ -34.76682663 -70.34564209
