Investigating whales

Being first among whales is a memorable experience. And even more when it comes to the Franco-southern right whale, the most weak among all large cetaceans.

In Atlanta there are about 350 individuals North and South in Atlanta, about 12,000, of whom one third live on the Peninsula Vaidés, Argentina.
Its quiet coves are the ideal places to see dozens of mothers with their offspring approaching boat tourists, and remain there without moving.
"The population here is growing at 7% per annum," said Mariano Sironi, biologist from the Institute of Conservation of Whales (ICB), while a large tail hit the water several times a few metres from our tiny zodiac.

The institute works in collaboration with Roger Payne, one of the most respected scholars of whales.
"Since 1970 we identified photographically by air and sea some 2,000 animals and do follow-up. Our catalog is the largest and the study is more continuity in the world. Each cetacean mind," explains Sironi.

Among the work of BCI, researchers evaluated the health status of the frank through the height of the roll of fat on his neck. He also estimated the age of juveniles across photogrammetry. His study is more detailed than exists on the behavior of juveniles and their social interactions.

Suddenly, an albino ballenato approaches the boat on the starboard side. Her mother censorship Apart from his daring us with the powerful tail. But the small ignored and resolves to dive out by port. His snout is almost pink, her skin is soft and his face is covered by the frank nature of the calluses, which also serve to identify him, according to Payne discovered. At aspire, retozón ballenato produces a noise similar to a large body.

"Now, thanks to the Programme right whale, led by Victoria Rowntree, we have accumulated information vital to science and we have also reached many people across our program of adoption of this species. In addition we are analysing the impact of diving on the behavior of these cetaceans, which is a new problem in power, "says Sironi.

Suddenly the bay full of whales jumping, applauding and water delivered to their games: his favorite sport is surfing, exposing the tail to the wind, how to sail.
When darkened accompanied us with three-dimensional sound of their breaths, augmented by the echo and a calm night without wind.

The adventure to reach the North Pole

The traveler may slip into sled accompanied by Eskimos, at the mercy of fog or bears, and eating freeze-dried food to 40 degrees below zero.

Temperature: 30 to 40 degrees below zero. Objective: to reach the North Pole magnetic point on the planet more magnetism, in the literal sense of the word. This is one of the most inhospitable routes of the globe and is accompanied by Inuit (do not want to call them Eskimos, because it means "person who eats dog meat").

The movement is made snowmobiling and sled to the same magnetic pole. But if for some adventurers that is not enough, there is another version more heavy: a trip in snowmobiling and plane until the geographic North Pole, 800 kilometers from the first. There is a 50 percent chance of achieving this: the geographic pole is water, and not always solidified, why is not guaranteed to reach him.

Undoubtedly, this is an unforgettable adventure, for those who enjoy the unconventional tourism.

Tourism exotic: raising bison with the Sioux Indians

There is another way of knowing the world for those seeking something more than comfortable hotels, good service and postal idyllic: go to places not yet invaded by mass tourism and live under the same conditions as their inhabitants.

One option for those who choose to attend this kind of tourism, is to raise bison with the Sioux Indians. Joining in a Lakota reservation in South Dakota (United States), sharing with their native dances and typical night in the meadow, is another option.

The Lakota, better known as Sioux, are famous for being the real big hunters prairie, or at least were until they were defeated by the U.S. military.

The challenge here is, is to share the daily life of a reservation in South Dakota, and see how things change: currently, the community is not all that different from others: it is also affected by problems like unemployment or alcohol . They Texans but still put pen to mark the "Pow-wow" (your typical dance).

Single of Trip

Many times the solitude is an election, other not. The certain thing is that it is which is behind the reason, time the “to be alone or alone” it impeded the fact of enjoying some good vacations. It is more, for those that travel alone, it used to be very complicated to make comfortable in trips, packages, hotels and even cruises that have already been thought for even y/o families. But today in day, the travel agencies and the tourist agents accepted that market niche, overturning solutions for this class of “problems”. For ésto they don't stop in organizing specific tours for people without couple, since sometimes it is not not the disposition of money or not having time, but not having partner or partner, what removes those desires of leaving vacations.

The tours of alone and alone also, is a very good election to know people and to pass it well, to make of the trip a perfect moment (so much or more than to look for an attractive place or the quality of the hired services). When one is enjoying to the maximum, the rest simply becomes only a detail. Another of the advantages of all ésto, is the reduction of the costs, since most of the agencies that manage this type of service, allow the client to decide for a simple room or shared with another person in the same situation.


The elected places for this type of trips go from cruises by Brazil until trips to East, Europe or South America inclusive. The Caribbean and Panama, where packages are included with demurrage in hotels five stars, they are also very popular. Many agency also promotes, activities with more emphasis in the adventure where they are generally included sports as raffting, trecking or mountaineering.


Now then, these walks have also become favorite instances to look for couple. Many times, there is who wait to find its “great love”. there am here that most of the times, the easiness of being socialized transforms into a fundamental aspect.

Numbers:
According to world statistics, in the last ten years the area of the tourism in the item of alone and alone, they have grown more than 60%, being essentially the professionals or merchants with ages average of between the 35 and 60 years, those that decide to be added to this type of adventures.
