The Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland is indeed the most wondrous place I ever visited in person. =D

Most of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit locations are South Island, apart from Hobbiton which is in the North.
In the meantime, trees! ...Redwoods to be specific.
Redwood trees are native only to northern California and can live for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Their bark is so thick that even the meanest of wildfires can't break through. The biggest recorded Redwood is the Big Tree, at 304 feet tall and 21.6 feet in diameter. A long time ago, developers wanted to cut this tree down and make a dance floor out of its stump!
The west coast of California used to be littered with Redwoods. Imagine it, a vast, dense, enormous forest that stretched on forever! Sadly, the industrious ambitions of man have reduced the forest, but now that it's proclaimed a National and State Park, the rest of the trees are protected, and everyone can enjoy them. Much like my family did when we visited, and I took all those pictures. XD
(My boyfriend, the brunette, and my brother, the red-head, have served as models in two of the photos.)
If the link do not work work,i can tell you this: Their detectors has struck gold,but there is something radioactive with it that disrupt all kinds of new technologic gear.A coded text from a church (Trinity church iirc) says that the Menora,art of shakespear and the 3000 year old ark lays there together.Mindblowing stuff!

Fluorine! This chemical can set pretty much anything it touches on fire, even water! Yes, it's possible to set water on fire!
Hassium! This is one of those extremely unstable elements that don't occur in nature and have only been created by humans. If the predictions of its density are correct, then it is the densest known substance, with a density of 41 grams per cubic centimeter. That's much heavier than it sounds; it means that a cubic meter of it would have a mass of around 41000 kilograms (90400 pounds)! That's more than the combined weight of six African elephants! It's too bad that hassium is so radioactive; it would be cool to lift a small cube of hassium and feel how heavy it is.
