You’re wrong. Bru na Boyne and Skellig Micheal are both world heritage sites in Ireland. Giant’s Causeway is the only WHS in Northern Ireland.

There’s also the Amzon River, which is divided into two colors. Where the two parts of the river meet, you can clearly see the difference (a brownish and bluish color). Th seperation can be see because of the extreme difference in temperatures of the two sides.

Man, great pictures, and interesting subjects, but you need to choose the words accompanying them more carefully.

The Dead Sea, interestingly, is not only the lowest place on the planet but it is also the hottest. Not so, for either. I know what you meant, but it is not what you said..

The lights are a results of the Earth’s photons colliding with solar winds. .
The Sun emits electrically-charged particles called ions, which correspondingly move away from the Sun in a stream of plasma (ionized gas) known as the solar wind. As the plasma comes in contact with the Earth’s magnetic field, the ions will be agitated into moving around the Earth. Some of the ions become trapped and will consequently interact with the Earth’s ionosphere (an average of 60-80 miles above the surface), causing the ions to glow. This is the same principal as how a neon sign lights up. As electrons pass through the neon tubing, they glow, thus producing the light in a neon sign.

you can’t say “not counting larger things, this tree is officially the largest… The largest living thing on earth is a giant fungus called Armillaria ostoyae, or the honey mushroom.About 2,400 years old and several square miles in size.

The General Sherman tree is the most massive single living thing with the trunk alone about 1500 tons. The tallest tree ever measured was a Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans)in Australia in 1872, 435 feet tall. The largest object composed of (or made by) living things is the Great Barrier Reef.

cheers!

Ireland has three UNESCO world heritage sites, not one. Apart from the Giant’s Causeway there’s Newgrange (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/659) and also the monastic settlements at Skellig Michael (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/757).

Nice surprise you took my video of beautiful Kelimutu, Floris.
Even when the weather is not so good it’s a mystic place.
