The battlefield sites of WW1 in Flanders, the Somme, Verdun and the Argonne where thousands of men paid the ultimate price. Many were never found and still lie beneath the earth. 2014 is the centenary of the start of World War One, the Great War, the War
Vimy Ridge WW1 Canadian National Memorial and Battlefield, Vimy, France. February 2014. The shell craters have survived nearly 100 years and much of the protected surrounding landscape still contains unexploded WW1 shells and ammunition. Walkers are warned not to stray from the prescribed pathways.The Battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War 1914-1918 was a military engagement fought primarily as part of the Battle of Arras, in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France, during the First World War. The main combatants were the Canadian Corps, of four divisions, against three divisions of the German Sixth Army. The battle, which took place from 9 to 12 April 1917, was part of the opening phase of the British-led Battle of Arras, a diversionary attack for the French Nivelle Offensive.The objective of the Canadian Corps was to take control of the German-held high ground along an escarpment at the northernmost end of the Arras Offensive. This would ensure that the southern flank could advance without suffering German enfilade fire. Supported by a creeping barrage, the Canadian Corps captured most of the ridge during the first day of the attack. The town of Thélus fell during the second day of the attack, as did the crest of the ridge once the Canadian Corps overcame a salient of considerable German resistance. The final objective, a fortified knoll located outside the town of Givenchy-en-Gohelle, fell to the Canadian Corps on 12 April. The German forces then retreated to the Oppy¿Méricourt line. Historians attribute the success of the Canadian Corps in capturing the ridge to a mixture of technical and tactical innovation, meticulous planning, powerful artillery support and extensive training, as well as the failure of the German Sixth Army to properly apply the new German defensive doctrine. The battle was the first occasion when all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force participated in a battle together and thus became a Canadian nationalistic symbol.

Somme WW1 Battlefield, July 1st-November 1916, France. Site of Lochnagar Crater at La Boiselle. February 2014. The Lochnagar Crater ( named after a nearby WW1 trench which was named by an officer after a mountain in Deeside near Balmoral in Scotland where many of the 7th Gordons, based in La Boiselle, were estate workers ) at La Boiselle, the largest crater on the Western Front, was created on the first day of the Somme offensive on 1st July 1916 at 7.28 in the moring by exploding a hugh mine of 60,000 Lbs of guncotton under the the German front line. The Crater was slowly being eroded until Richard Dunning purchased the crater in 1978 after reading about it in 'The Old Front Line' by John Masefield, so that it might be saved as a permanent memorial. Remains of both British and German Soldiers are still being found in the surrounding landscape and are buried in nearby cemeteries but marked at the Crater by crosses and Poppy Wreaths.

Darvaza 'Gates Of Hell' gas crater in Karakum Desert, Turkmenistan - 21 Jul 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Amos Chapple / Rex Features (1843563e)
The Gates Of Hell
It's known by locals as the 'gates of hell' and after a glimpse of the Darvaza gas crater it isn't difficult to see why.
Located in Turkmenistan's Karakum Desert, the eerie cavern has been on fire for more than 40 years.
It was discovered in 1971 by Soviet geologists when the ground beneath their drilling rig suddenly collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of 70 metres (230 ft).
As the huge crater was filled with potentially poisonous natural gas the decision was made to set it alight.
Scientists expected it to burn itself out within a few days, but fast forward several decades and, amazingly, the fire is still as fierce as ever.
At night the orange glow it produces can be seen for miles around and the heat attracts animals and insects to huddle close by.
Meanwhile, when the wind gust across the crater it turns scaldingly hot - being likened to the 'opening of an enormous oven door'.

Destination Gale Crater in August 2012
NASA's Curiosity rover lands on Mars - 06 Aug 2012
As of June 2012, the target landing area for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission is the ellipse marked on this image of Gale Crater. The ellipse is about 12 miles long and 4 miles wide (20 kilometers by 7 kilometers). If landing goes well, the mission's rover, Curiosity, will drive in subsequent months to science destinations on Mount Sharp, outside of the landing ellipse. This view of Gale Crater is derived from a combination of data from three Mars orbiters. The view is looking straight down on the crater from orbit. Gale Crater is 96 miles (154 kilometers) in diameter. Mount Sharp rises about 3.4 miles (5.5 kilometers) above the floor of Gale Crater.

Oblique View of Gale Crater, Mars, with Vertical Exaggeration
NASA's Curiosity rover lands on Mars - 06 Aug 2012
Gale Crater, where the rover Curiosity of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission will land in August 2012, contains a mountain rising from the crater floor. This oblique view of Gale Crater, looking toward the southeast, is an artist's impression using two-fold vertical exaggeration to emphasize the area's topography. Curiosity's landing site is on the crater floor northeast of the mountain. The crater's diameter is 96 miles (154 kilometers). The image combines elevation data from the High Resolution Stereo Camera on the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter, image data from the Context Camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and color information from Viking Orbiter imagery.

Cheetah leaps 4ft in the air during a fight in Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, Tanzania, Africa - 24 Mar 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Elliott Neep/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1347459a )
High Jump Cheetah
The fur is literally flying in this extraordinary set of photos when a fight erupts among a group of cheetahs.
One of the cats leaps 4ft in the air during the remarkable confrontation between two males.
The bruising encounter was a harsh lesson for the younger cheetah, who had been challenged by the older male.
The youngster was given a rough ride as its mother stood back with his sister - a sign that she wanted her son to take care of himself.
British photographer Elliott Neep captured the moments the family of three were approached by the cheetah, in Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, in Tanzania.
Elliott, 36, from Wantage, in Oxfordshire, said: "We spotted three cheetahs resting in the shade.
"They were not settled and seemed very agitated. Their body language told me that something was wrong.
"Then, in the shade of a nearby tree just a few feet away, we could see a fourth cheetah.
"We tried to figure out what was happening but it was not clear. A young cheetah rose from the ground and immediately, the cheetah under the tree pounced and lashed out at him.
"The youngster flipped onto its back in a state of submission and the big male leapt over.
"As soon as the big male moved, I started firing the shutter. I just had a sudden instinct that a fight was imminent.
"The situation quickly unravelled and the scene became clear. This was an adult male attempting to push out a female's full-grown cubs to mate.
"After the dust settled, the big male came face to face with the youngster and began sounding a long drawn-out meow.
"It was similar to the sound two domestic cats make when they have a territorial dispute in the garden.

Harrat Khaybar - Saudi Arabia
Harrat Khaybar, Saudi Arabia lies in the western half of the Arabian peninsula and contains not only large expanses of sand and gravel, but also extensive lava fields known as haraat (harrat for a named field). According to scientists, the volcanic field was formed by eruptions along a long north-south linear vent system over the past 5 million years; the most recent recorded eruption took place between 600-700 A.D. The presence of tuff cones -- formed by eruption of lava in the presence of water together with other volcanic features indicative of water -- in the Harrat Khaybar suggest that the local climate was much wetter during some periods of volcanic activity. Today, however, the regional climate is hyperarid -- little to no yearly precipitation -- leading to an almost total lack of vegetation. The image was taken by the Expedition 16 crew aboard the Inernational Space Station in March 2008. Image Credit: NASA

Mars' Concepcion Crater - Exploration Rover Opportunity
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity took this image in preparation for the first autonomous selection of an observation target by a spacecraft on Mars. Opportunity used its navigation camera to take this image after a drive during the 2,172nd Martian day, or sol, of its mission on Mars (March 4, 2010). Using newly developed and uploaded software named Autonomous Exploration for Gathering Increased Science, or AEGIS, the rover analyzed the image to identify the feature that best matched criteria given for selecting a target. The top target that Opportunity selected with AEGIS is shown by the yellow marker. AEGIS was directed to look for rocks that were larger and darker in color. The rover then used the software to take more detailed observations of the selected target using its panoramic camera. The more-than-50 rocks in this image are near a young crater called 'Concepcion' and might have been thrown outward by the impact that excavated the crater. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
