  • PAEKTU, LAND OF NORTH KOREAN LEGENDS<br />
<br />
Mount Paektu volcano is considered a holy place for North Koreans. It is deemed the place of origin for them. The country's founding father Kim Il- Sung commanded anti-Japanese guerrilla in the 50’s from a secret camp in this place.<br />
North Korea says his son Kim Jong-il was born there in 1942. He was actually born in Siberia, where his father had taken refuge from Japanese troops.<br />
The dear Leaders are said to have a "mount Paektu bloodline ». A famous slogan says: « Let us all turn out in the general offensive to hasten final victory in the revolutionary spirit of Paektu! »<br />
A new probelm may erupt: when North Korea tests a nuclear weapon, specialists say the energy could trigger a volcanic...eruption in Paektu. That could be a huge disaster, killing thousands in North Korea and on the chinese side too.<br />

Mount Paektu volcano is considered a holy place for North Koreans. It is deemed the place of origin for them. The country's founding father Kim Il- Sung commanded anti-Japanese guerrilla in the 50’s from a secret camp in this place.<br />
North Korea says his son Kim Jong-il was born there in 1942. He was actually born in Siberia, where his father had taken refuge from Japanese troops.<br />
The dear Leaders are said to have a "mount Paektu bloodline ». A famous slogan says: « Let us all turn out in the general offensive to hasten final victory in the revolutionary spirit of Paektu! »<br />
A new probelm may erupt: when North Korea tests a nuclear weapon, specialists say the energy could trigger a volcanic...eruption in Paektu. That could be a huge disaster, killing thousands in North Korea and on the chinese side too.<br />

  • 200 visitors stranded on Mount Huashan in west China after a strong gale<br />
<br />
Stranded tourists at Mount Huashans west peak;<br />
Almost 500 tourists were stranded on top of a mountain after its cable car service was suspended due to gale-force winds.<br />
The management office of Mount Huashan, near the city of Huayin in north-western Chinaâs Shaanxi Province, continued to allow large amounts of tourists up its cableway during the third day of the countrys National Day celebrations when wind forces were recorded at six to seven.<br />
But the strength rose to force eight and nine in the evening, and more than 400 tourists still on the mountainâs west peak were told they could no longer use the cable cars to travel down the 1,700-metre (5,577-foot) mountain.<br />
Authorities eventually encouraged tourists to walk down the mountain on foot or use the north cableway instead, but a large number of elderly tourists were unable to make the journey under the windy and rainy conditions.<br />

  • This Stunning Image was taken at 35,000Ft On a flight from San Francisco to Singapore this stunning view of Mount Fuji poking out above the clouds taken by passenger Jeff Rechtman<br />
<br />
Mount Fuji, located on Honshu Island, is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776.24m (12,389 ft). An active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707–08, Mount Fuji lies about 100 kilometres (60 mi) south-west of Tokyo and can be seen from there on a clear day. Mount Fuji’s exceptionally symmetrical cone is snow-capped several months a year.<br />

  • A Gigantic Mat of Floating Tree Trunks on Spirit Lake<br />
<br />
The May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, a volcano located in state of Washington, was one of the most destructive events in the history of the United States. In just a matter of hours, the north face of the volcano collapsed creating a huge landslide - the largest debris avalanche in recorded history – that moved swiftly towards the surrounding lakes and the North Fork Toutle River valley leaving a trail of destruction 27 km long. Located only about 5 miles north-northeast of the volcanic  crater, Spirit Lake received the full impact of the lateral blast.<br />
<br />
An estimated 1 million trees were blown away from the surrounding hillside by a super-heated wall of volcanic gas and searing ash and rock, and these along with other rubble were deposited on Spirit Lake. The debris avalanche temporarily displaced much of the lake from its bed sending 600-foot-high waves crashing into a ridge north of the lake. As the water moved back into its basin, it pulled with it thousands of more trees into the lake. About 350,000 acre-feet of pyrolized trees were deposited into Spirit Lake and these shattered trees formed a floating log raft on the lake surface that is present to this day, more than three decades after the event.<br />
