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).

Doors and windows from the Ghost town of Kolmanskop. NAMIBIA

Kolmanskop is a ghost town near the Namib desert and the port town of Luderitz. After diamonds were found in the area, lots of German miners settled here. Driven by the enormous wealth of the first diamond miners, the residents built the village in the architectural style of a German town, with amenities and institutions including a ballroom hall, a hospital (Photo 5), a school, a theater, a casino and even a bowling hall (Photo 6). It also had a railway link to the coast.

However the town declined fast after the diamond-field got slowly exhausted and new deposits were found further south. The town was definitely abandoned in 1954 and the geological forces of the desert took control of the place. The houses are now knee-deep in sand; the desert has reclaimed this once-thriving town.
