Lonesome George...Trip to the Galapagos Islands, June 2010 [00:46]
I visited the Darwin Research station in as one of my itinerary in the trip to the Galapagos Islands in June 2010. I personally saw the remaining species of this tortoise called "Lonesome George." Lonesome George (Spanish: Solitario Jorge) is the last known individual of the Pinta Island tortoise (Chelonoidis nigra abingdoni), which is one of eight to fifteen extant subspecies of Galápagos tortoise, all of which are native to the Galápagos Islands.[1][2] He has been labeled the rarest creature in the world, and he is a potent symbol for conservation efforts in the Galápagos and conservation efforts internationally.[3] It is thought that he was named after a character played by American actor George Gobel. George was first seen on the island of Pinta on 1 December 1971 by Hungarian malacologist József Vágvölgyi. The island's vegetation had been devastated by introduced feral goats, and the indigenous G. n. abingdoni population had been reduced to a single individual. Relocated for his safety to the Charles Darwin Research Station, George was penned with two females of a different subspecies, but although eggs have been produced, none has hatched. George is estimated to be about 100 years of age, and he is in good health.[4] A prolonged effort to exterminate goats introduced to Pinta is now complete, and the vegetation of the island is starting to return to its former state. The presence of mixed race Pinta ancestry tortoises around Wolf Volcano, on neighbouring Isabela ...

Long Tunnel Driving in Ecuador [00:50]
Free video about long tunnel driving in Ecuador. This narrow tunnel is old and wet. Streams of water run down the walls. The rock is visible and shaky. It was created before tunnel digging became more advanced. This cool video was created by epSos.de in Banos of Ecuador. Baños de Agua Santa is a city in eastern Tungurahua Province of central Ecuador. Baños is the second most populous city in Tungurahua. A tunnel is an underground passageway, completely enclosed except for openings for egress, commonly at each end. A tunnel project must start with a comprehensive investigation of ground conditions by collecting samples from boreholes and by other geophysical techniques. Tunnels are dug in types of materials varying from soft clay to hard rock. The method of tunnel construction depends on such factors as the ground conditions. Driving is the controlled operation and movement of a land vehicle such as a car, a truck or a bus. Driving in traffic is more than just knowing how to operate the mechanisms which control the vehicle. It requires knowing how to play with the rules of the road. Organized traffic generally has well-established priorities. Organization typically produces a better combination of travel safety and efficiency. Rules of the road are the general practices and procedures that road users are required to follow. A headlamp is a lamp that usually is attached to the front of the vehicle such as a car, with the purpose of illuminating the road ahead during periods ...
