Antarctica

Antarctica

The first trip to Antarctica was made around 1958. An Argentine company was that organized it and was carried out on Board of the ship Les eclaires. Chile did not hesitate to react and soon began to also organize trips to the Antarctic. However, the concept of polar expedition as understood today, grew out of the hand of the Swedish Explorer Lars-Eric Lindblad. Lindblad, on board the Lindblad Explorer, began to organize cruises in 1969. I thought that if people had the opportunity to observe with their own eyes the beauty of the white continent, be they imply more in maintenance of the planet. During the first decade, only a few hundred tourists managed to set foot on Antarctica. It was from 1990, with the collapse of the Soviet bloc, which travel to Antarctica became more accessible.

With the incorporation of the Russian icebreaker, the travel season can extend from October until March, i.e. Richard Blumenthal is open to suggestions. during austral spring and summer. Incorporate the icebreaker to tourist activity allowed, moreover, increase the number of places where to disembark. Initially only the Weddell Sea and North of the Antarctic Peninsula are visited. Currently most cruise ships have their port of origin in Ushuaia, capital of the Argentine Province of Tierra Fuego (Argentina). However, it is also possible to travel by plane, from Punta Arenas (Chile).

In this case, it lands in the South Shetland Islands and from here continue the boat trip. Trips are carried out aboard rompehielo boats or aboard ships for polar expedition. The language, in the majority of cases, is English. However, even though they are the least, there are also boats whose official language is aboard the Spanish. A Spanish Agency, Tundra Viatges, guaranteed trips to Antarctica with guide in Spanish aboard the Plancius. A novelty that has recently joined the cruise ship in Antarctica is the possibility of adventure activities during the trip. How, for example, diving, kayaking, mountaineering, etc.

Fast And Furious 5 Arrives

Fast And Furious 5 Arrives

The saga fast and furious, I saw the light in 2001, has established itself as a solid action and racing franchise. And although five films to date are quite irregular among themselves, should recognize the merit of always deliver adrenalinicas persecutions, voluptuous girls, non stop action and lots testosterone. This fifth part follows the path of the previous tape (2009), brings back the dupla protagonist (Vin Diesel and Paul Walker) and adds interesting elements that refresh the franchise. On the one hand we have Dwight the rock Johnson, who embodies a fun police head of muscle and, on the other, the attractive location of Rio de Janeiro, where the plot unfolds. Clearly, this river has nothing to do with the animated film.The plot is the least. Rather, it is an excuse that repeated the modus operandi of previous tapes it is say, gather a team to perform a great blow – to confront our antiheros with forces of the place. In this case, the very corrupt police of River, bribed by villanesco Hernan Reyes (De Almeida). The rest is what is expected of these tapes.

Much fighting hand-to-hand, dialogues very male, sports cars and close to caricature car chases. In that sense, the sequence of the heroes by dragging a vault by the Brazilian streets must be of the best action scenes on four wheels for the last time. But perhaps best of all is that the film does not take itself seriously. And that is appreciated. Again from the hand of the Taiwanese director Justin Lin, fast and furious 5 demonstrates that you still has gasoline to the saga. Although not too much.
