]]> Bogotá is the capital and largest city in Colombia. A melting pot of people from around the country, diverse and multicultural. The Muisca were the indigenous inhabitants of the region and called the settlement where Bogotá was founded Bacatá. The word is a combination of the Muysccubun words bac, ca and tá, and means “(enclosure) outside of the farmfields”, referring to the rich agricultural lands of the Sabana Formation on the Bogotá savanna.

Bogota is also the title of a song by jazz piano player Ahmad Jamal and recorded in 1958.

The Shinetsu Trail runs for 80 kilometers along the border between Nagano and Niigata Prefectures, following the path of the Sekida Mountain ridge. The forests are blessed with a rich ecosystem nurtured by Japanese beech-tree forests. Historically, there were 16 passages through the mountains, used for carrying salt and sea-products. The famous warlord Kenshin Uesugi is said to have lead tens of thousands of his men through these passages to fight the Battle of Kawanakajima. [source: s-trail.net] The Shinetsu apron is inspired by these Japanese highlands and its famous small trails. Though no small pockets for this apron.

]]> The Shinetsu Trail runs for 80 kilometers along the border between Nagano and Niigata Prefectures, following the path of the Sekida Mountain ridge. The forests are perhaps best known for their beech trees. Tall, well-shaped beech trees form a corridor of green along the path. The packed-earth trail also makes for easy walking. Spring and autumn are especially good times to visit the trail. In spring, the last traces of snow can be seen among new greenery and flowers bursting into bloom. In the fall, hikers can enjoy the brilliant colors of autumn leaves.

It is one of the few long trails of Japan. This area is blessed with a rich ecosystem nurtured by Japanese beech-tree forests. Historically, there were 16 passages connecting Nagano with Niigata (traditionally called Shinano and Echigo) through the mountains, used for carrying salt and sea-products from Niigata, and Uchiyama paper and mustard seed oil from Nagano. The famous warlord Kenshin Uesugi is said to have lead tens of thousands of his men through these passages to fight the Battle of Kawanakajima.

The Cascades are a segment of the Pacific mountain system of western North America and extend northward for more than 700 miles (1,100 km). Many peaks exceed 10,000 feet (3,000 metres), including Mount Hood and Mount Rainier. Marked by glaciation (which has formed many lakes) and stream dissection, the mountains are a headstream region for the Willamette River. Except for the peaks lying above the timberline, the entire range is heavily wooded and is within conservation areas and national forests. [source: britannica.com] The Cascade apron does not come one peak short. It features two large side pockets with an extra small one for your cooking notebook or phone. The larger chest pocket will keep your pencils and other tools you need in your kitchen or workshop in check.

The English navigators George Vancouver and William R. Broughton saw the Cascades in 1792. The American explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, on their expedition to the northwest in 1806, passed through the range in the 4,000-foot- (1,219-metre-) deep Columbia River Gorge on the Washington-Oregon border. The range was named for the great cascades found near the gorge.

Mount Fitz Roy, is the tallest mountain in Patagonia’s Los Glaciares National Park. Fitz Roy’s summit is guarded on all sides by steep rock faces requiring difficult, technical climbing to ascend. Because of this, it was considered one of the most difficult mountains in the world for decades. The region’s unpredictable weather and relative isolation makes it extremely dangerous.

The mountain is named after Captain Robert Fitzroy of the HMS Beagle. Fitzroy was first climbed by the Southeast Ridge (today also known as the Franco-Argentine ridge) on February 2, 1952 by Lionel Terray and Guido Magnone, members of a French expedition.

Glaciers are made up of fallen snow that, over many years, compresses into large, thickened ice masses. Glaciers form when snow remains in one location long enough to transform into ice. What makes glaciers unique is their ability to move. Due to sheer mass, glaciers flow like very slow rivers. Some glaciers are as small as football fields, while others grow to be dozens or even hundreds of kilometers long. [source: nsidc.org] The Glacier apron is minimal, stylish and will not get in your way whatever moves you might make. It features a large front pocket and a small loop to keep your dishcloth in reach.

Within the past 750,000 years, scientists know that there have been eight Ice Age cycles, separated by warmer periods called interglacial periods. Currently, the Earth is nearing the end of an interglacial, meaning that another Ice Age is due in a few thousand years. This is part of the normal climate variation cycle. Scientists still have many questions to answer about climate change. Although glaciers change very slowly over long periods, they may provide important global climate change signals.
