An inselberg or monadnock (/məˈnædnɒk/) is an isolated rock hill, knob, ridge, or small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain. In Southern Africa a similar formation of granite is known as a koppie, an Afrikaans word ("little head") from the Dutch diminutive word kopje.[1] If the inselberg is dome-shaped and formed from granite or gneiss, it can also be called a bornhardt, though not all bornhardts are inselbergs.

They really knocked it out of the park with these words

Easter Things to do in Egypt

 Easter is the one holiday when people dance to music, eat lavish meals, and enjoy themselves till the early hours of the morning. One of those nights that have stuck in my memory for weeks. Explore some of the party spots to ring in Easter. So, what more could someone possibly want? Have the time of your life, by all means. and enjoy Easter Things to do in Egypt 

Diving, snorkeling, swimming, kitesurfing, hiking, sunbathing, reading, or just lounging on the beach are a few of the most thrilling and adventurous activities one can engage in. One can observe the shooting stars by the fire on Easter Egypt Things to do to make it a little more exciting.

The Sinai Peninsula is a distinctive area separate from the rest of Egypt and is renowned for its excellent diving activities. Underwater in the Red Sea is among the most enjoyable activities to take part in during Egyptian Easter. The resort at Sharm el Sheikh and the small hamlet of Dahab are two of the best locations.

It is the perfect location for those lone travelers to spend Easter Tours in Egypt near the Red Sea. This small village, which is teeming with cafes, dive shops, and hostels, is a must-see. Giving their taste buds pleasure with hummus, taking part in adventurous activities like diving and swimming, and relaxing with yoga and sunbathing can all help tourists have the perfect vacation.

When celebrating Easter in Egypt, you're missing out if you don't take a trip to the Nile. Taking a sail up the Nile is one of Egypt's most iconic excursions. Visitors can make use of the boats, eateries, swimming pool, or the upper deck of a ship floating in the river while taking in the breathtaking views.

One option available to individuals is the immaculate Egyptian felucca. People should experience and enjoy sailing along the river while taking in the magnificent sunset. The best way to ring in Easter is to spend a few hours partying on a felucca with your loved ones.

The White Desert, located a few hours outside of Cairo, gives visitors the impression that they are on the moon's surface. The distinctive calcium rock formations are dispersed throughout like incredible abstract artwork. The majority of the rocks resemble Inselberg and Monolith, but others resemble ice cream cones and mushrooms.

The white desert, which is home to an unusual and breathtaking natural chalk-rock museum, is a must-see. The majority of Egyptians like the concept of camping out in the desert at night and watching the sunset when it comes to Easter celebrations. As the sun sets, the calcium sea shows an array of orange and fuchsia hues in the sky. What more could somebody possibly need to experience the ideal Easter in Egypt?

Random Notes-Inselbergs

Inselbergs are isolated elevated rock hills, mountains, knobs abruptly rising in gently sloping or even flat areas, making them look out of place. (Their names mean island mountains in german! Makes sense, doesn’t it?)

Inselbergs result when a rock formation resistent to erosion, such as granite, occuring within softer rocks gets exposed by erosion and the lowering of the surrounding landscape! Ah. The elements.

In Africa this kind of granite formation is called a koppie (“little head” in Africaans)

Hoy’s Koppie (South Africa)

Movie Mars on Earth Wadi Rum looks like few other places on Earth. In fact, the distinctive desert landscapes have inspired more than a few filmmakers to use the valley in southern Jordan as a stand-in for Mars. Among them was Ridley Scott, director of the 2015 film The Martian. Scott made frequent use of Wadi Rum’s scenery, often bringing viewers along on panoramic tours of surreal inselbergs, spires, and turrets of rock as fictional astronaut Mark Watney tries to survive and make his way home from Mars. When viewed from space, it is easy to see why Scott chose this place. The colors and textures of Wadi Rum—shown in the natural-color Landsat 8 image above—are a close match to those found on Mars. The area, which appears in the movie on multiple occasions, features towering sandstone and granite inselbergs that punctuate valleys blanketed with iron-rich sand. It includes one of the region’s most iconic rock formations: the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, a group of natural stone pillars that jut from the northern edge of Jebel Um Ishrin. Many of the prominent rock formations in Wadi Rum are comprised of partially eroded layers of sedimentary rock—mostly purple and white sandstones—that formed hundreds of millions of years ago when sea levels were higher and the area was muck at the bottom of an ocean on top of a base of granite. After sea levels dropped and exposed the new sedimentary rocks, a combination of tectonic lifting, wind, and water eroded and sculpted them, leaving valleys filled with sand and jagged terrain. Scott felt the scenery was such a good approximation of Mars that he only made a few changes when editing. He added a background red dust to many shots, and occasionally added computer-generated clouds and dust storms for dramatic effect. “I didn’t do anything but shoot it at the right time, from the right positions,” Ridley told Space.com. “To me, [Wadi Rum] is the Eighth Wonder of the World. It’s incredible.” Mars aficionados and sci-fi movie buffs can keep an eye out for Wadi Rum in several other movies. Red Planet (2000), The Last Days on Mars (2013), Prometheus (2012), Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) all used Wadi Rum as a stand-in for Mars or other fictional desert planets. “I was in awe of that place, it was really, really special,” actor Matt Damon said of the time he spent filming there. “[It is] one of the most spectacular and beautiful places I have ever seen, and like nothing I’ve ever seen anywhere else on Earth.” NASA Earth Observatory image by Lauren Dauphin, using Landsat data from the U.S. Geological Survey.

Spitzkoppe Lodge is situated on the northern periphery of the Spitzkoppe inselberg, between huge granite boulders, which were created more than 150 million years ago. Limited use of concrete with elevated floors and decks and composite materials for walls, which can be dismantled easily, will enable nature to restore itself in just a few months after deconstruction. The tented roof shapes simulate the surrounding rock formations and soften the square building plan form.  Situated on the inland edge of the Namib Desert, the climate of the Spitzkoppe Conservation Area is arid, with a mean annual rainfall of 50mm and a high evaporation rate of 3200mm per annum. Most rainfall occurs between January and April, and with the granite outcrops being impermeable, rainfall runoff collects at the foot of the outcrops creating unique micro-habitats.

----------------------------------------------------------

Die Spitzkoppe Lodge befindet sich am nördlichen Rand des Spitzkoppe Inselbergs zwischen riesigen Granitblöcken, die vor mehr als 150 Millionen Jahren gebildet wurden. Die begrenzte Verwendung von Beton mit erhöhten Böden und Decks sowie Verbundwerkstoffen für Wände, die leicht abgebaut werden können, ermöglicht es der Natur, sich innerhalb weniger Monate nach dem Rückbau wieder zu erholen. Die Zeltdachformen simulieren die umgebenden Felsformationen und machen die quadratische Bauplanform weicher. Das Klima des Spitzkoppe-Schutzgebiets am Binnenrand der Namib-Wüste ist trocken, mit einem durchschnittlichen jährlichen Niederschlag von 50 mm und einer hohen Verdunstungsrate von 3200 mm pro Jahr. Die meisten Niederschläge fallen zwischen Januar und April, und da die Granitaufschlüsse undurchlässig sind, sammelt sich der Niederschlag am Fuße der Aufschlüsse, wodurch einzigartige Mikro-Lebensräume entstehen.

MILKY WAY OVER MURPHY'S HAYSTACKS This image, taken by Dylan Toh, shows the Milky Way over Murphy's Haystacks, which are inselberg rock formations found between Streaky Bay and Port Kenny on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. The rock formations got their name when a traveller in a coach saw the formation in the distance and asked how a farmer could produce so much hay. The rocks became known as Murphy's Haystacks as the farm was on a property owned by a man named Murphy.

Toh took 13 vertical images with a 5dmk3, Canon 16-35mm F2.8 II lens, at 16mm, F3.2, iso3200, 30 second exposure with light painting on the rocks done with a flash light for 3- 4 seconds of each exposure. The photos were shot in between last light and moonrise, approximately 8pm. -TEL Image: Dylan Toh, Everlook photography http://www.everlookphotography.com/ https://www.facebook.com/everlookphotography http://www.streakybay.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=237

Honeymoon Day Three: Waterfalls, Basalt, and a Very Smelly Dog

We spent another dreamy, quiet morning in another dreamy, quiet AirBnB before heading eastward to do some sightseeing. Today was the first windy, rainy day so far, which is apparently unusual; it rains all the time here. While we’re happy to have had two very sunny days, Iceland is beautiful in all weather, so we didn’t let a little rain stop us.

Immediately east of Selfoss, the landscape honestly reminded me of a very gloomy Colorado. There was lots of wide, flat farmland leading right up to the feet high-prominence mountains. The two-lane highway has the same passing rules too, so I took the morning shift behind the wheel, as I am much more comfortable flooring it to zoom past slowpokes than John. Thanks for the road trips, Mom and Dad.

We weren’t specifically planning to see any waterfalls today, but Seljalandsfoss is visible from the highway, and I’d like to see you resist a 200-foot waterfall. The parking lot was packed and there were a lot of other people there, but the opportunity to get behind a waterfall like in Skyrim was too good to pass up. Plus, we had to put our new raincoats to the test.

We continued on through Vik after a brief stop for lunch and to fill up the tank. It was raining so hard at that point that we got wetter getting gas than we did walking behind the waterfall. After lunch, a very interesting land formation caught our eye from the road, but we weren’t sure how long the canyon hike we were aiming for would last, so we pinned it for later and continued on to Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon. We had high hopes for it, and it did not disappoint.

This 300-foot deep canyon is unbelievable. The colors—mossy green, deep teal, and near-black charcoal—will probably stay with me forever. Look for that color palette in every home I ever get to decorate.

The raincoats worked, by the way.

Fjaðrárgljúfur was a tough act to follow, but we decided to check out the big ol’ rock we had skipped earlier. It turned out to be an inselberg (basically a land-island) called Hjörleifshöfði, which my friend Dave tells me could be “broken-sword” or “broken-heart” so...hell yeah. We drove around the south side of the berg and found a very cool cave nicknamed the Yoda Cave. This was one of the few scenic places we’ve been totally alone so far in Iceland, so we had a lot of fun scrambling around on rocks and hollering at elves.

Feeling ambitious and inspired by the rain letting up a little, we decided to hit one more major sightseeing location before dinner: Reynisfjara Beach, famous for its black sand, basalt columns, and thundering waves. It was...so windy. I grew up in a windy state, y’all, and this was still probably one of the top five windiest places I’ve ever been. It was absolutely worth it, though, holy wow.

The rock formations here are really unlike anything I’ve ever seen. We were absolutely mesmerized by the sharp, geometric patterns in the cliff-face.

We loved this beach. This won’t be new information for anyone visiting the south of Iceland; it’s not like we discovered it or anything. Still, even on a day with huge gusts of wind and freezing rain, it was an absolutely gorgeous experience.

We grabbed dinner at a charming little restaurant called Gamla Fjósið that was recommended by our host tonight. John had fish and I had veggie curry. I also made friends with an adorable but very stinky Icelandic sheepdog who followed me around the parking lot; fear not for John, though, because not ten minutes later, he charmed the fat orange cat at our Airbnb.

Speaking of our lodgings for the night, I am absolutely delighted to report that on the property of this guesthouse is a BIG SPOOKY ROCK populated with LITTLE CREEPY HUTS. I explored them while John took pictures and politely requested that I not crawl on very rickety sod roofing.

Iceland is so cool, you guys.

25th-26th Sep. Streaky Bay & Point Labatt.

Our last stop on the peninsula before we start across the Nullabor - tomorrow. Very excited by the prospect!

En route to Streaky Bay we came across the most bizarre rock formations one can imagine - Murphy's Haystacks.

These pink granite globules acquired their name from an unnamed Scottish agricultural expert who insisted that a good hay farmer should harrow his land in order to produce the best results. I know, Murphy is an Irish name. Bear with me.

The story goes thus: our myopic Percy Thrower was travelling on a coach when he noticed these compelling rock formations in the distance. He immediately informed the driver and the other passengers that the farmer must must have harrowed his land to produce so much excellent hay and fodder. The rock formations were discovered on land belonging to one Sean Murphy...

The really interesting part is how they were formed. The rocks were not pushed to the surface by pressure or volcanic activity; it was the result of wind and rain, gradually eroding the surrounding plains that exposed them. Those same elements then set to work on the rocks themselves, sculpting and smoothing them into shapes that remind me of lava lamps.

Technically, the Haystacks are called Inselbergs, from the German:

"insel" - island, "berg" - mountain.

This particular formation is 1500m years old!

And finally, Point Labatt, a breeding colony for one of the most endangered sea mammals on the planet - the Australian Sea Lion.

There are dozens of them down there but the cliffs are sooo high they are difficult to spot.

The cliffs were spectacular

And so, goodbye to Streaky Bay. Buy one, get two free.

Juniper publishers- Juniper Publishers-Inselbergs of Venezuelan Guayana Region: A Natural Laboratory for Plant Ecology Research

Opinion

The Guayana shield is one of the most important biogeographic regions of the world, with a complex matrix of ecosystems and different types of vegetation [1-4]. One of the most outstanding ecological units of the region are the granitic outcrops, also known as inselbergs (from the German Insel: island, and Berg: mountain), and locally as lajas. These rock formations have high plant species diversity, a high number of endemic species with restricted geographical distribution [2-3]. From a biogeographical approach, these geological formations are also considered as continental islands, mainly because of the ecological processes that depend to a large extent on geographic isolation [5]. This geographical isolation confers unique ecological conditions for the formation of different types of plant communities on a small spatial scale. However, since pioneering research on Guayana inselbergs vegetation types, e.g., [3-4], knowledge about plant community ecology is still limited as a basis for establishing conservation measures [6].

The Guayana inselbergs present different types of plant communities, which are shaped by a complex system of environmental gradients, mainly by the availability of water, topography and the depth of the substrates [5,7-8]. Thus, the mosaic of habitats present in the inselbergs of Guayana region, can occur discontinuously separated with different types of vegetation, such as epilithic (on bare rock), casmophytic (between cracks), forest in the depressions, continuous forests in flat sites of the peaks, and in accumulations of large blocks of granite. In addition, one of the most dominant types of vegetation are the patches of vegetation found in the depressions [3-5]. However, it is not yet known about the assembly rules of plant communities, especially the relative contribution of abiotic (i.e., microclimate, topography, water deficit) and biotic (i.e., facilitation) drivers, to test hypotheses in plant ecology.

The geomorphological and microenvironmental conditions of the inselbergs confer special ecological conditions where only some plant species with different types of morphological and ecophysiological adaptations can be developed [5,9-11]. This leads to a greater specialization of the species on a small spatial scale in extreme conditions compared to other surrounding ecosystems, such as savannas and forests [3-4]. For example, many of these species grow on substrates accumulated in depressions of different sizes, and on which patches of vegetation are developed [6], also known as islands of vegetation, on islands of rocky outcrops [7].

Recently some researchers have presented results on the ecology of plant communities in inselberg of Venezuelan Guayana; this has been analyzing the effect of patch size on diversity patterns [6,12]. Thus, these studies carried out in the Piedra la Tortuga Natural Monument reveal that there is a considerable number of endemic species in fine-scale vegetation patches, with up to 50% of endemic species per patch of vegetation [6]. This pattern of diversity is exclusive from a biogeographical perspective, because it is not common in other plant communities present around the inselbergs of Guayana, as for example in the savannas and forests that have a wide distribution throughout the region. This consequence has been well described, that in the inselbergs there is an important representation of endemic species (approximately 144) in relation to the entire Guayana region, and that is why it is considered as an important center of endemism in Venezuela [2-4]. On the other hand, several studies have also reported the high level of endemism existing in rocky outcrops in Australia, Africa and tropical America [5]. Although, there are still limited studies on the species-area relationship and species abundances distribution as basic information to establish new conservation areas [6].

The inselbergs of western Guayana are dominated mainly by herbaceous and shrubby growth forms (Figure 1), such as Tabebuia orinocensis, Acanthella sprucei, Commiphora leptophloes, and Pseudobomax croizatii the most representative shrub species in areas visited and studied on an ecological approach [6,12]. On the other hand, herbaceous species such as Irlbachia alata, Utricularia subulata, and Sauvagestia ramosissima, have been reported as ephemeral plants; which appear during the wetter periods when water stress is possibly less marked in these ecological formations [3-4,9-10]. In the case of shrubs, despite not being abundant in different types of plant communities in these inselbergs, they could be key species because probably generate appropriate microclimatic conditions for the establishment and survival of other species, for example in patch of vegetation found in the depression (Figure 2). Succulent stems (cactus) are other life forms characteristic of the study area, in relation to their strategies for storing water (eg Melocactus spp), also succulent leaves (Pitcairnia pruinosa, Pitcairnia armata), and geophytic as Portulaca pygmaea [4,9,13].

Go to

Final Remarks

Due to the importance value of the plant diversity present in the inselbergs of Guayana, it would be essential to continue research on the ecology of plant communities; especially due to the urgent need to create new conservation areas. For example, one of the few conservation units known in the region is the Piedra la Tortuga Natural Monument. Likewise, to establish new conservation areas with inselbergs in the Guayana region, it is necessary to consider that species with restricted distribution tend to be more vulnerable to extinction. Therefore, it is essential to know the minimum viable population of all those threatened species of inselbergs. This would allow estimating the minimum number of individuals needed to ensure a high probability of survival in the immediate future.

Finally, despite the lack of moisture as a general microclimate pattern in inselbergs, there are locally restricted habitats with vegetation that depend on seasonally humid conditions. For this reason, it is considered important to characterize the habitats within inselbergs to have enough conservation bases within these systems. For example, identify the environmental gradients where a vegetation type is developed, as well as the key species within communities. There are no doubts, that these inselbergs are an ideal scenario for the development of research in plant ecology.

Despite that, these Buddha species, numbering over 20 thousand, with several top tier members within their species, like the ones Earl fought for a part of their bodies to eat, do keep the 8 Kings within their Areas so they would not go to the part of the world where the IGO are at [Where the Toriko Human World is located].)
