Landslide triggers partial closure of Alaska’s Denali National Park

August 27, 2021915 Views

A large swath of Denali National Park, one of Alaska’s premier travel destinations, has closed for the summer tourist season weeks early after heightened landslide activity from excessive thawing of a mountain slope made the park’s only access road unsafe. The National Park Service announced the closure late on Tuesday. Gradual but sustained sliding of the hillside has made travel treacherous around the halfway point of the 92-mile (148-km) access road, near a site called Pretty Rocks, the agency said.

रात भर घने जंगल से आती हुई झिंगुरों की आवाजें और फिर सवेरे की रोशनी निकलते ही उन आवाजों की जगह सैकड़ों तरह की चिड़ियाओं की चहचहाट का ले लेना, दिल को सुकून देने के लिए यह कोई कम तो नहीं पिछले कुछ महीनों की ही तरह वह शनिवार भी कुछ खास तरीके से बीतता प्रतीत नहीं हो रहा था। शुक्रवार की रात सोने जाते वक्त जेहन में एक और बैरंग और एकरस दिन बीतने की तैयारी थी। पिछले कुछ समय से या तो मैं व्यस्त हो जा रहा था या फिर मेरी जीवन संगिनी को कोई न कोई काम आ जाता था। लिहाजा हमें निकलने का मौका ही नहीं मिल पा रहा था। फिर अचानक शनिवार की सुबह यह पता चला कि उस रोज हमारी लाइफ पार्टनर को काम पर नहीं जाना था। मैंने भी अपना बचा-खुचा काम छोड़ा और आधे ही घंटे के भीतर हम हाइवे पर थे। हमारे लिए छोटी ही सही लेकिन यह बहुत जरूरी रोड ट्रिप थी। हम गुवाहाटी से नामेरी नेशनल पार्क के लिए निकल पड़े। मेरे लि...

Dangling from umber cliffs that tower over Africa's westernmost shoreline, a crew of Senegalese climbers hunt for footholds that they say are vanishing. Rock climbing falls behind wrestling, football and surfing as well-loved Senegalese pastimes, but it has bound together a small community of locals and expats who say that their sport is under threat.

REUTERS/Cooper Inveen The issue: coastal erosion caused by a massive construction boom in the capital Dakar where luxury hotels and condominiums are being built close to a once-untouched shoreline, eating away at the land and eroding the well worn climbing routes.

A Nepali government official said on Monday that many foreign climbers were continuing their attempts to summit Mount Everest despite reports of a COVID-19 outbreak at the base camp of the world's tallest peak. In April, a Norwegian climber was evacuated from the base camp of the 8,848.86 metres (29,031.69 feet) mountain and flown to Kathmandu where he tested positive for COVID-19. He has since returned home. Lukas Furtenbach of the Austrian Furtenbach Adventures company, evacuated his team from the mountain this month saying there was a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases at the base camp.

In a small fishing town in Morocco’s south, wedged between the Atlantic Ocean and the Sahara, a group of idealistic young surfers are teaching local children to brave the crashing waves. A day’s drive from the cities of northern Morocco, and on the fringe of the world’s greatest desert, the group has set up a beachfront cafe where young people can gather, learn and have fun in the sleepy port of Tarfaya. “We have a deal here. Everyone who leaves Tarfaya has to come back and do something for the town,” said Salim Maatoug, a wiry 26-year-old who worked as a tour guide in Marrakesh.
