Korcula. CROATIA







Korčula is a historic fortified town on the protected east coast of the island of Korčula, in Croatia, in the Adriatic.
The old city is surrounded by walls, and the streets are arranged in a herringbone pattern allowing free circulation of air but protecting against strong winds. Korčula is tightly built on a promontory that guards the narrow sound between the island and the mainland. Building outside the walls was forbidden until the 18th century.

Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. ARGENTINA

Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site, is the second largest national park in the country, housing a representative sample of the Magellanic Subpolar Forest and western Patagonian Steppe biodiversity in good state of conservation.
The park's name refers to the giant ice cap in the Andes range, the largest outside of Antarctica and Greenland. Due to the size of the ice cap, these glaciers begin at only 1,500 m (4,900 ft), sliding down to 200 m (660 ft).
