JERICOACOARA

JERICOACOARA

 Many Thanks to my friend Carolina 


    The village of Jericoacoara is a Brazilian jewel on the Pacific coast. A place for vacation and contemplation as well as sports and nautical activities, such as kite surfing, it is the perfect mix (Brazilian specialty!) of tradition and modernity. A stopover as much as a destination to be checked off on your travel diary in terra nordeste!

Wollumbin Mount Warning,New South Wales

 

Wollumbin Mount Warning,New South Wales
Thank you Helen for the card.


    Mount Warning remains significant to Aboriginal people, providing a traditional mythology that extends back to the dreamtime. Called ‘Wollumbin,’ meaning ‘fighting chief of the mountains,’ the Aboriginal people believed that lightning and thunder observed on the mountain were warring warriors and that landslides were wounds obtained in battle.

    The mountain was named by Captain Cook to warn future mariners of the offshore reefs he encountered in May 1770.

    Reserved for public recreation in 1928, Mount Warning was dedicated as a national park in 1966. Inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage Listings in 1986, along with other NSW rainforest parks, ensures its protection for future generations.

LAKE BAIKAL,RUSSIA
Thanks to Natalia from postcrossing .

What is the oldest lake in the world?

Lake Baikal is the largest, oldest, and deepest freshwater lake in the world

    Lake Baikal, the world’s oldest and deepest freshwater lake, curves for nearly 400 miles through south-eastern Siberia, north of the Mongolian border. At its deepest point it is over 5,000 feet (1,637 meters) deep.

    It is the world's largest freshwater lake in terms of volume. It contains about 5,521 cubic miles of water (23,013 cubic kilometers), or approximately 20% of Earth's fresh surface water. This is a volume of water approximately equivalent to all five of the North American Great Lakes combined.
