Right near the village of Bamba in the northern part of the county Dogon, Mali, there is a small sacred lake where fishing is permitted only once a year, during a unique ritual, which is called Antogo. At one time this area was a haven of green, and the lake is completely provided by the local population of fish. Despite the fact that as a result of climate change area near Bamba became a barren desert, in a small lake with fish yet. Authorities establish a special day, when everybody can catch fish themselves. The lake is emptied completely in fifteen minutes.

The American went on a rope across Niagara Falls
Famous American tightrope walker Nik Vallenda (Nik Wallenda) went over Niagara Falls on the rope, stretched at a height of over 50 meters. One end of the rope was attached to the United States, the other - in Canada. Kanatahodtsu had to overcome on the way to the raging waters of the length of 550 meters, in that it took him nearly half an hour.
Two regimes are allowed to violate the ban that exists on the holding of such stunts at Niagara Falls, to the hereditary kanatahodtsa, which six times found himself in the Guinness Book. Thus, Nick Vallenda the first person in 128 years to cross the waterfall is so risky way.

Amazing Frozen Waterfalls From Around The World
We used to see waterfalls, bubbling like falling down columns of water, raising water around the foam and mist, but in the cold winter, many turn to the amazing waterfalls of ice magic. In Minnesota, the State of Minneapolis, Minehaha Falls at 16 m height often freezes, become an incredible wall of blue ice. Under the waterfall you can even walk through a kind of “cave.” While many frozen waterfalls can be visited just so some of this is not enough: many daredevils try to conquer them. Each year, hundreds of these climbers risk their lives for the adrenaline rush. Using only ice axes and cats, these climbers climb the frozen columns and a huge wall of water, but we can`t blame its a passion and the beauty so check out Frozen waterfalls around the world….

Volkswagen’s Car Towers at Autostadt in Wolfsburg, Germany
The Autostadt is a visitor attraction adjacent to the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany, with a prime focus on automobiles. It features a museum, feature pavilions for the principal automobile brands in the Volkswagen Group, a customer centre where customers can pick up new cars, and take a tour through the enormous factory, a guide to the evolution of roads, and cinema in a large sphere. One of the prime attraction at the Autostadt is the two gleaming car parking towers of glass and galvanized steel where cars are automatically moved from the Wolfsburg plant and on to the customer centre where they are collected by their owners.
Each tower is 60 meter tall and houses 400 cars each and are the heart of vehicle delivery at the Autostadt. The two towers are connected to the Volkswagen factory by a 700 metre underground tunnel. A conveyor belt system transports finished cars directly from the adjacent manufacturing plant to the towers' basement. From there they are lifted into position via mechanical arms that rotate and run along a central beam, moving vehicles in and out of their bays at a speed of two meters per second. When a customer purchases a car from Autostadt the car is picked from the silo and transported out to the customer without having driven a single meter, and the odometer is thus on "0".
