#2 Lord Nigel's Travels - South America - Galapagos islands by Hive account@lordnigel

"New islands are born over 1000's of years as an under sea volcano spits out hot lava straight into the ocean, forming new islands. On some of the older islands are fantastic lava flow caves, you can walk underground for miles and they are pitch black deep within - make sure you take a torch and spare batteries :) As the islands get older different plants and vegetation take hold, meaning the newer islands have very little plant life or animals at all. Unless you know where to look."

#3 What is incredible about Masada? by Hive account@helgalubevi

"The most incredible thing about visiting Masada is to know that civilizations have lived there for so long. It was built around 103-76 BCE and was inhabited until the second century (CE). Masada stands on top of the reddish mountains, where nothing can be cultivated. The only available water in the region is very salty and comes from the Dead Sea.Considering that it is a desert region, storing a good quantity of rainwater is also a good question. So how did these people live in that place for so long? "
