BendiNewsTest: Take a virtual tour of an Argentinian ghost town with its last-remaining resident

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Take a virtual tour of an Argentinian ghost town with its last-remaining resident

Click here to view the embedded video.

There are ghost towns to be found anywhere from the American West to Namibya to the Ukraine, but none have the distinct feeling of Villa Epecuen—an Argentine town that spent almost a quarter century under water. Flooded in the 1980s, only to be revealed by drought in 2009, the town now forms a corroded and bleached out landscape. Only one of Epecuen’s original residents remains, and you can take a tour of the town with him via the video above.
