There were no majestic mountains. Hosted by the Black Tower

Unlike mountains, cliffs are not covered or only slightly, with rare exceptions, covered with vegetation, among which mosses and lichens are dominated. In fact, these are stone blocks with steep slopes and all sorts of protrusions. Just like many other geological entities, nature created them for millions of years, thanks to which they received the most incredible outlines, and sometimes colors, so there is something here. Speaking over the sea or valley, the rocks form completely incredible landscapes on beauty. Among them are also those that may eclipse the most fantastic scenery. These 9 rock formations are a vivid example of the fact that the most skillful master is nature itself.

Rocks Mohacher, Ireland

Coastal Rocks washed by waters Atlantic Ocean, stretched along the coast of 8 km. At different parts, the height of the rocks varies from 120 to 214 meters. It is believed that cliffs have been formed more than 300 million years ago. With these "stone giants", there is a truly awesome look, admire which comes annually over 1 million tourists.

White Cliffs Dover, United Kingdom

Framing the coastline of the Pa de Calais of the rocks are part of the hill North Downce. The height of the rocks reaches 107 meters. They include chalk and flint, thanks to which they can be seen from the French Cape Gri, and among the sailors they won the glory of the symbol of the shores of England.

Potted, Norway

Giant Rock towers over the fjord. The height of the rock formation is 604 meters. Its peak is a natural survey area, an area of \u200b\u200bapproximately 25 to 25 meters. From Rock, a magnificent view opens from which the spirit even seized the sights of tourists.

Rock Cape Zhirao, Portugal

This cool cliff is located on the southern coast of Madeira Island. Cape Zhirao is considered the second largest cliff in the world. Its height is 589 meters. On the top of the cliff is equipped with an observation deck, providing tourists the opportunity to "fracture" above the ocean.

Calopapa, Hawaii

On the northern tip of milk, on the Kalopapa peninsula, there is one of the most picturesque places in Hawaii - the National Historical Park of Calopapa. One of the Park Pearls are marine cliffs with a height of more than 1000 meters. You can only get to them on foot or on horseback. For the attached efforts, tourists will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the surrounding landscapes and the endless Pacific Ocean.

Peak Thor, Canada

This granite peak is recognized as the highest vertical slope in the world. It is located in the Auiuittuk National Park on the island of Buffin. The peak height is 1250 meters, and the slope of the wall is 105 degrees.

HAF-DUM, USA

The rock rises 1450 meters above the Yosemite Valley. It consists of a monster of granite. Haf-Dome is one of the largest largest monoliths in North America, and its image is often used by various organizations as a logo. The view of Haf-Doum is also printed on the driver's license, which are issued in California.

Etretret, France

Etretat's cliffs became a business card of the town of the same name. Their height ranges from 80 to 120 meters. Nature drew some unique arches in them. Due to the extraordinary whiteness of the chalk breed, the rocks can be seen far away into the sea.

Big Canyon, USA

Without this natural attractions, a list of incredible rock formations would be incomplete. Canyon on the Colorado Plateau is a real time machine on which you can travel immediately into several geological periods. In the canyon, a length of 446 km, there were "traces" of four geological ears of the earth. For 10 million years of its creation, nature has formed a gorge of a depth of 1800 meters, filled with clusters of the cliffs of the most incredible forms and colors. The best view of them opens from a glass observation deck " Heavenly trail", Serving the edge of the canyon by 20 meters and towering over it at an altitude of 1220 meters.

For many years, I have been collecting interesting quotes of travelers, climbers, researchers on Outdoor theme.

All this will mostly be copied "to the table", although sometimes uses.

So, for example, we made a package for ours with some quotes from my collection.

But still the bulk mass lies with "dead cargo" and does not work, although many quotes like the quintessence of experience and views on the lives of people, the great and dismantling not on the hearse in travel, mountaineering, human interaction with wildlife and mountains can be useful And interesting for many.

Some quotes can cause a smile with their naiveness, for example, I liked the statement of Maurice Erzog about Annapurn, and I took it to my collection. The words about the mountain were told before the expedition began on this eight-year-old, they sound in Russian translating:

"As for Annapurna ... This peak is easily accessible and that is why only limited sports interest is."© Maurice Erzog.

It is difficult to agree with this statement now, knowing that Annapurna is one of the most complex and dangerous eight-thousandths of the planet.

Some quotes are imprinting an era, are a product of their time and personify the development and ideas of society, for which we can look through the prism of our achievements known to us. As an example, frankly racist quotes Robert Pear

"One smart white person should stand at the chapter, two white, invited to the expedition because of their courage, determination, physical endurance and devotion to the head, should be arms, and dog traffickers and other locals are the body and legs of the expedition. For the peace of mind, men must take on the journey of women; In addition, they are also useful in many ways, as well as men, and they are often not inferior to them from strength and endurance. "

But a special value, I think, have thoughts told by great travelers, climbers and investigators on training, organization and security. Very often, one label and strong phrase, uttered by a deserved person, can give much more to understand the essence of the question than the volumetric articles and verbose explanations.

My favorite quote from these belongs to Rulya Amundsen and sounds:

"Expedition is preparation"

In three words, the great polar star was able to express the main success of any case.

"Here is the concept of front fraternity, there is also the concept of the climbing fraternity. This is true. I have a big instructor practice. When newcomers after a 20-day stay in the Alpalar begin to touch around, they travel around literally with tears. Why? People, while in the hard climatic conditions, combined with a common idea, communicate, solve the overall task. Help, mutual execution, just finding together - combines people to such an extent that the phenomenon is called fraternity. As in the war, when people joined in the greatest conditions, making a significant business, winning, losing, fighting, dilding, etc.

This is an integral part of the mountaineering, it is good, pleases. I am happy that I am familiar with all the people who gave me mountaineering. That we were merged with the idea.

"... important as you climb, and not where you climb. You know, many years ago we understood that there is nothing at the top. You climb, and there are stones and a path down.

"Who is not confused in the snowy mountains, he does not steal in battle." Such is the slogan of the Soviet climber. Cowardice is insecurity in itself, in their knowledge.

It is known that the Nabota tribe to the first century of our era became a hundred-sighted masters of work on stone. The name of Peter with Greek is translated as a stone.

The whole city seems to be hidden in a narrow Canyon Sik. You can get to the territory of Petra only through the gorge located in the north and in the south. From East and West, the city is reliably protected by sheer cliffs, the height of which reaches sixty meters.
