This beautiful video was created using timelapse photography. The images are from various parts of Colombia - particularly Bogota, the Quindio region including Armenia, and Melgar, Manizales and Pereira.

Climate change tourism in Greenland

With 80 percent of the ice that covers the island melting, Greenland has become a hot travel destination.

Some 30,000 people reached Greenland on cruise ships in 2010— twice the number in 2004—with an estimated 30,000 more coming by air. What’s prompting many of these visits is global climate change; in 2010, according to the World Meteorological Organization, the temperature in Greenland and the Canadian Arctic was an average of 5 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. One result has been more seasonal melting of the Greenland ice sheet.

No amount of reading about or studying the history of slavery can match the visceral reaction a visitor feels on seeing neck, wrist and ankle shackles, or the branding iron used to sear marks into the skin.
