The Lisbon Oceanarium has a large collection of marine species — birds, [...]

Alcatraz

Referred to as The Rock, this small island just off the coast of San Francisco was first developed with its facilities as a lighthouse, military fortification and a prison at later stages. Due to its isolation from the outside by the cold, strong, hazardous currents of the waters of San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz was used to [...]
