Old River Control Complex

So apparently if this thing goes, the Mississippi River will change course and this would likely cause enormous short-term economic damage and stuff. No more Mississippi River in New Orleans. Wow. Randall Munroe has found some really interesting stuff.

Presidio Modelo

Cool looking abandoned former prison on Juventud Island in Cuba. Apparently it was based on a prison in Illinois where they had a guard in the middle and all the prisoners circularly surrounding the center so the prisoners wouldn't know if they were being observed or something. Weird, possibly controversial, possibly tragic, but today it's a historic site that has an interesting setting.

In the island chain known as Kuril, one particular island known as Yankich exists. With its jagged peaks, caldera bay, and overall fantastical appearance, it says, "I am Yankich Island, and I am bigger than you."
