Chixculub crater is located near the modern town of Chixculub in Yucatan. It is an ancient impact crater with a diameter of 180 km. It is thought that it was created by the impact of a asteroid with a diameter of at least 10 km, making it one of the larggest confirmed collisions in the history iof the earth.

The Chixculub crater is important in many ways for geologists, and biologists. The impact that caused the crater is one of the more credible explanations for the extinction of the dinosaurs. It is also believed that the end of the Cretacious period, which saw the end of the dinosaurs among other species, was unleashed by the same asteroid impact.

The impact would have caused megatsunamis of thousands of feet height, earthquakes, obscured the sun and destroyed a large number of species in the meantime. Photos from Wikipedia.

Mexico is the most popular destination for tourists travelling to the Latin America region. About 14 percent of the nation’s workforce is employed in the tourism industry, and revenues from tourism constitute about 5 percent of entire export revenue.

Mexico’s advantage in the tourism industry is the result of its rich colonial and pre-columbian history, in addition to its magnificent natural scenery and resources. In Mexico, you can visit the most beautiful beaches in the world, admire the most spectaculat Spanish architecture, and study the ruins of some of the many ancient civilizations in Mexico’s history in the same day.

Not even the global economic slump seems to have seriously slowed the construction boom in Mexico, but this cannot be expected to go on forever. Like most other nations, Mexico will feel the pain of the global crisis, but it will perhaps be one of the earliest to emerge from it too.

Museo revolution

mexican nationalism has its roots in the earliest days of the revolution. As battles were being lost against the Spanish, the seeds of the national identity of mexico were already being sown. Eventually that spirit would be consolidated and confirmed by the expulsion of Emperor Maximilian, and the various conflicts with the hungry neighbor to the north.

Mexico’s spirit combines patriotism with nobility of soul, and independence with social responsibilty.  These difficult days make mportance of patirotism and commitment even clearer to the nation, as more and more problems require the iron will of a nation for successful resolution.

Scientists are planning to help the salamander survive in captivity, but this kind of existence is unhealthy, and unsustainable due to the shrinking genetic pool. Unless some other kind of long term solution is found, we will witness the end of this creature rather soon. All that makes a trip to Mexico City all the more urgent, of course.
