Formerly, the mushroom rocks appears without the neck. Gradually become smaller to form a neck because a part of coral reef had been erosed.

Pirates City Saint Malo

In the age of kingdom, this town is popular with "the pirates city",it is Saint Malo, the town in Britagne, France. But there are some differences between the generally pirates and the pirates of the kingdom. The pirates generally are usually rob the ship for the sake of themselves, but the pirates of the kingdom are rob the ship for the sake of the kingdom and legally, therefore they called them corsaire not pirate.

The corsaire are allowed to doing violences such as killing the captain or the others, but this action is permitted by the kingdom. It is so strange but it is the real.

The people of Saint Malo are so proud with their history. But if we call them with the descent of pirates, they got angry immediately. Because they claim that the pirates and corsaire are different. The pirates are identic with the violence and cruel. The corsaire are warrior. Although, in fact is both are same.

Before we entrance to the gate of Saint Malo, we will get the amazing view of the pirate ship. It is so large, beautiful, and the most important is it is original ship and not a ship which made purposeful for the visitor. Actually, this ship had been renovated in order to seem beautifull, and the ship also show about how the ships sail over the ocean and fulfilled with the corsaire that ready for robbing other ship.

We may see the ship for details, but we must pay the cost which actually it is so expensive.

Saint Malo was named by pastor Mac Low. He made the town which named Aleth become so popular with humanity interwoven. In 1994, Saint Malo was collapse untill 80 percent after the war. Then it rebuilt as the original structure. but there are still the people whose say that Saint Malo is not original more.

Every 6 hours we can see Atlantic ocean tides. While we walking along the beach and a moment later the beach coated with the water. When we rise over the citadel that surrounded by the giant walls, we can see the huge pool is breathtaking blend with the ocean. At the time while the sea water is beginning to tide we can see clearly how the giant pool that had been seen little street towards the sled started to sink and finally the natural pool integrates with the oceans.

In Saint Malo, there are some citadels that could be seen. Also some historical site. This is amazing place for tourist interest.

The Dead Sea

I know you ever hear about the dead sea. The Dead Sea is a lake that ran in the region between Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Jordan area. Dead Sea (Hebrew name: Bahr Lut, the Sea of Lot, or: Melah Ha Yam, Sea Salt) is located 392 m below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. Do you know why did it called the dead sea? what is the true, the dead sea or the dead lake?

The dead sea is not truely sea, but lake, because it is located in mainland. This name used only because the dead sea are reach 76 km lenght and 16 km width. It can be imagined how wide the sea, but it had got constriction caused by much of yawn and lack of water supply from Jordan river. Then, we just say it the lake not sea. Dead Sea water level is estimated to have undergone shrinkage of 392 meters below sea level to 416 meters and is on the decline to a level that is very alarming.The deepest place in the sea reaches 400 m, Thus, the deepest part of this sea to 800 m below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea.

Why did the dead sea called with the name the dead sea? and why did salinity of dead sea is very high? Because the dead sea is the lowest mainland in earth, therefore, the water in dead sea can not flow like other water although one of water characteristic is flow from high to low. The dead sea's salinity is 30% higher than other sea which about 3,5%. It is mean, water of the dead sea is nine times more salty than other sea. Whereas, our body salinity is 1-2% which it mean our body is always float when we swim at dead sea. But you must know that Assal lake in Djibouti is higher than the dead sea for salinity, it is about 40%. It mean, the dead sea is not the highest salinity in earth. So, 7million tonnes water of dead sea is always yawn everyday . As it's name the dead sea, there aren't existence but little organism such as Red Halophilic bacteria, and Dunaliella Algae. Israel, Palestine and Jordan agreed to save the Dead Sea because of the impact if there is damage to marine ecosystems die this will be very bad for the region, measures to be undertaken include supplying water from the red sea to sea to die by making a canal to connect the two seas canal, which distance is about 200 km.

Behind it all marine mud has its own benefits for women in particular as a skin (Sea Mud Body Scrub). In addition to the salt content is extremely high, the Dead Sea water also contains potassium, magnesium, and bromium, maybe that's why dead sea mud This is considered highly nutritious.
