Belchite: A Spanish Civil War Town Left in Ruins

There are two villages named Belchite sitting side by side in the south of Spain. One is home to around 1,600 people. The other is a ghost town, ruined during Spain's Civil War and left untouched as a reminder of the destruction wreaked across the country.
The Spanish Civil War began in 1936. Since winning the general election in February, the left-wing Republican government had been struggling to contain Nationalist uprisings. Assassinations on both sides in July—followed by police-militia shootouts at the murdered men's funerals—paved the way for full-blown rebellion across the country. War was declared on July 17. By the end of the month, the Nationalist insurgents controlled about a third of Spain.
By mid-1937, the Republicans were fighting back hard, bolstered by the Nationalists' two failed attempts to capture Madrid. In order to slow the Nationalists' southward advances, the Republican Army, along with volunteer fighters from the International Brigades, launched an offensive around the town of Belchite. For two weeks, the Nationalists resisted Republican attempts to recapture the village. Thousands died on both sides. By September 7, when the Republicans finally wrested control of Belchite, the place had been decimated.
Since that day, the village of Belchite has been kept in its hollowed-out, rubble-strewn state. A new town was built beside it in 1939, but the old one remains as a living monument.
The victors of the Battle of Belchite ended up losing the war, which plunged Spain into a totalitarian state that lasted until the death of its fascist leader, Generalissimo Francisco Franco, in 1975.

The Remains of a Columbus Controversy That Just Won't Die
Atlas Obscura on Slate is a blog about the world's hidden wonders. Like us on Facebook and Tumblr, or follow us on Twitter.
He may have died over five centuries ago, but Christopher Columbus has still had an eventful year.
Things kicked off in April, when the Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously to celebrate Indigenous People's Day instead of Columbus Day. Seattle followed suit in October. There are now 16 states that do not recognize Columbus Day as a public holiday, and a growing number of jurisdictions shifting the focus from the explorer to the effects of colonization on America's indigenous population. These changes exemplify a growing national sentiment best expressed by John Oliver on Last Week Tonight: "How is Columbus Day still a thing?"
In May, American underwater archeologist Barry Clifford claimed to have discovered the wreck of the Santa Maria, Columbus' flagship that ran aground off the coast of Haiti on Dec. 25, 1492. "I am confident that a full excavation of the wreck will yield the first-ever detailed marine archaeological evidence of Columbus' discovery of America," Clifford told the BBC. A UNESCO mission, requested by the Haitian government, headed over to examine the wreck, ultimately with anticlimactic results—in October, the team reported that the shipbuilding techniques used to construct this supposed Santa Maria dated to the 17th or 18th century. Case closed; ship still missing.
June saw the introduction of "Columbus" as a verb. Columbusing, according to College Humor, is when white people "discover" a place or phenomenon already well-known to people of color and blithely claim credit for it. (See: twerking; the rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn neighborhood of Bed-Stuy; the term "basic bitch.")
Then there was last month's left-field lob from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. During a speech delivered in Istanbul on Nov. 15, Erdogan claimed Muslim sailors "discovered" America in 1178, a solid three centuries prior to the arrival of Columbus. His evidence for the claim was a 1492 diary entry written by Columbus that mentions a mosque on a hill in Cuba. It was a metaphorical mosque, most likely a natural feature of the land, according to most scholars who've delved into the issue. But that didn't stop Erdogan from claiming a 12th-century Muslim presence in America. (The indigenous population, present in North America for thousands of years before any of this went down, did not get a mention. Nor did the Vikings, who made it to Newfoundland circa 1000 A.D.)
Columbus would be rolling in his grave at all of this, but there's a problem there, too: it's not certain where he lies, exactly. Due to a lot of posthumous travel, the Italian explorer rests in pieces. Two sites claim to hold his remains: Seville Cathedral in Spain, and the Columbus Lighthouse at Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
Columbus was buried in the Spanish city of Valladolid after dying there in 1506. His son, Diego, wasn't satisfied with this arrangement, and had his father's remains disinterred and sent to a monastery in Seville. There they stayed until 1542, when they were packed up and put on a boat bound for Santo Domingo in what is now the Dominican Republic. (The grand new Cathedral of Santa Maria la Menor had just been built in Santo Domingo, and it seemed a fitting location for Columbus' remains.)
The cathedral, however, was far from Columbus' final resting place. In 1795, when France ousted Spain from Hispaniola (the island now shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Columbus' remains were taken to Havana, Cuba. Following Cuba's 1898 independence from Spain, Columbus ended up back in Andalusia, interred in an ornate tomb at Seville Cathedral.
If only the journey had ended there. Back in the Dominican Republic, a worker at the Cathedral of Santa Maria la Menor had discovered a box of bones marked "The illustrious and excellent man, Don Colon, Admiral of the Ocean Sea." ("Colon" being the Spanish way of saying Columbus.) The implication of this find was that the Spanish had taken the wrong guy's remains back to Seville and left Columbus, the "illustrious and excellent man," in Santo Domingo. But there was a catch: Diego, Columbus' son, was also known as Don Colon, Admiral of the Sea. Those remains could have been his—or even someone else's, placed in the wrong box.
Undeterred by the possible case of mistaken identity, Santo Domingo built a massive, blocky cruciform "Columbus Lighthouse" to serve as the explorer's tomb. The 688-foot-long complex opened in 1992, in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Columbus' 1492 voyage.
Both Seville Cathedral and the Columbus Lighthouse claim to be the keepers of the Italian explorer's remains. Science has intervened in the argument—in 2006, DNA testing on the Seville bone fragments confirmed they belonged to Columbus. That did not, however, negate the possibility that some of Columbus is still in Santo Domingo. Administrators of the Columbus Lighthouse refuse to allow the remains they hold to be disinterred, citing respect for the dead as their reason.

A Busy Public Road Runs Right Through This Airport Runway
Atlas Obscura on Slate is a blog about the world's hidden wonders. Like us on Facebook and Tumblr, or follow us on Twitter.
Space is at a premium in tiny Gibraltar—so much so that the British territory's only airport runway intersects with its busiest road. Cars traveling along Winston Churchill Avenue must stop for planes several times a day. For about 10 minutes, traffic stays at a standstill to allow a flight to depart for—or arrive from—London, Birmingham, or Manchester.
In 2007 the government released plans for a new four-lane road that would divert traffic through a tunnel under the runway, although cars would not be required to use it. The road, scheduled to open in 2009, has still not been completed.
The airport is, by necessity, small. The Spain-Gibraltar border lies just north of the runway. South of the runway, in the shadow of the Rock of Gibraltar, is North Front cemetery, the only graveyard in the territory where burials are still conducted.

How to Keep a 101-Story Skyscraper Steady in High Winds
Atlas Obscura on Slate is a blog about the world's hidden wonders. Like us on Facebook and Tumblr, or follow us on Twitter.
The view of Taipei from the 89th floor of Taipei 101, one of the world's tallest buildings at 1,667 feet, is spectacular. But turn your back to the urban panorama and you'll see something equally fascinating: a huge yellow sphere, suspended from eight steel cables in the center of the building between Floors 87 and 91.
The 728-ton globe is a tuned mass damper—a device designed to counter the effects of wind and seismic activity on a skyscraper. TMDs, as they're known in the mechanical engineering biz, consist of two components: a heavy mass, and a springy, shock-absorbing suspension mechanism. Common types include pendulums, columns filled with water that sloshes back and forth, and concrete blocks on springs.
In strong wind, the upper levels of a skyscraper will sway a few feet back and forth. A TMD like the Taipei 101 sphere reduces the motion of the building by swinging in the opposite direction, which dissipates the vibrational energy.
TMDs are present in tall buildings around the world, particularly those in earthquake-prone zones. The World Financial Center in Shanghai, the sail-shaped Burj al-Arab luxury hotel in Dubai, and One Rincon Hill South Tower in San Francisco all have them. Several buildings in New York also have TMDs, including Citigroup Center, Trump World Tower, and Random House Tower.
Taipei 101 is unique in that its TMD is accessible to the public. In fact, it's marketed as a big attraction, complete with a "Damper Baby" character that serves as the building's mascot. For 500 Taiwanese dollars—about US$16—you can go to the 88th floor and stand within feet of the world's largest and heaviest wind damper. If you're there on the day of an earthquake, you may see it sway an alarming distance, as happened during the Sichuan earthquake in 2008:

Messages to the Universe: A Short History of Interstellar Communication
Atlas Obscura on Slate is a blog about the world's hidden wonders. Like us on Facebook and Tumblr, or follow us on Twitter.
Nov. 16, 2014, marks the 40th anniversary of the Arecibo message, an interstellar communiqué transmitted from the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico toward Messier 13, a globular cluster of stars located more than 22,000 light-years away.
The content of the message was determined by astrophysicist and Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) founder Frank Drake, with a little help from luminaries like Carl Sagan. It used a string of 1,679 binary digits—the idea was that the alien civilization who receives the message will recognize 1,679 as a semiprime number and multiple of 23 and 73.* "Ah," they will think (in their native language, obviously), "this binary string of unknown origin is intriguing. Let's lay out the info in a 23-by-73 grid and see what emerges."
When the ones and zeroes are put into grid form, what results is a pixelated summary of humanity. It contains seven parts. The first part of the message shows the numbers one through 10. Next are the atomic numbers for carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. A very simple representation of the DNA double helix follows. Then there is a blocky image of a human, a depiction of Earth's position in the solar system—with Pluto still shown as a planet, a matter that is still up for debate—and an image of the Arecibo telescope that, to a 2014 eye, resembles the Gmail logo.
Even if the folks in Messier 13 were to respond promptly to this message, we'd still have to wait at least 43,960 years for their reply. But the Arecibo message was never really intended as genuine interstellar communication—it was chiefly a demonstration of the Arecibo telescope's might. (The dish was upgraded in 1974, and the three-minute digital transmission, ostensibly sent to an alien civilization, was quite the celebratory attention-getter.)
Messier 13's assumed inhabitants may never become our pen pals, but the tantalizing prospect of interstellar communication continues to entice Earthlings. Since the Arecibo message was transmitted into the universe, at least eight other interstellar radio messages have been beamed into the sky—all within the last 15 years.
In 2001, Russian astronomer Aleksandr Zaitsev and a group of Russian teenagers broadcast a series of transmissions collectively known as the "Teen Age Message." Targeted at six stars located between 45.9 and 68.5 light-years away, the messages included Russian folk music and works by classical composers such as Beethoven and Vivaldi. All of this music was played on the theremin—Zaitsev referred to the message as the "First Theremin Concert For Extraterrestrials." Sent from Yevpatoria Planetary Radar in Crimea, the transmission was the first interstellar musical radio message. There have been more: In 2008, NASA sent the Beatles song "Across the Universe" across the universe, targeting the Northern Star, Polaris.
The question of how best to communicate with extraterrestrials is one of SETI's ongoing concerns. Earlier this week, the organization held a workshop in California with the title "Communicating Across the Cosmos." A common theme was humanity's self-obsession. In composing interstellar messages, we tend to assume the intended recipients will get what we're trying to say. But the scientific knowledge and physiology of nonhuman civilizations may be so different to our own that a Beethoven composition or a stick-figure human is totally indecipherable.
Even the supposedly universal language of mathematics may not be the best lingua franca. During a talk at the SETI conference, Carl DeVito posed a mind-bending question: "Are the natural numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, … merely creations of the human mind or do they exist independently of us?" You can watch his talk for more, but for the record, here is his own answer: "I think the natural numbers do exist independently of us. The rest of mathematics, however, might not exist anywhere but in our minds."
Of the eight interstellar messages sent since 1999, the first to reach its target will be A Message From Earth, which was sent to extrasolar planet Gliese 581 c in October 2008 and is scheduled to arrive in early 2029. The transmission, intended as a digital time capsule, was initiated by now-defunct RDF Digital—a subsidiary of the U.K. production company responsible for the TV show Wife Swap—and Bebo, a social networking website that declared bankruptcy in 2013. The 501 photos and text messages in the transmission were selected by Bebo users via web vote. In about 15 years, the residents of Gliese 581 c, assuming there are any, will receive a deluge of information about faded British pop stars.
Though each interstellar transmission has varied wildly in tone and content, each reflects a common core message: "We are here. This is us." Whether they reach other civilizations is almost irrelevant. The chance to sum up humanity to an extraterrestrial audience is an alluring task, and one that allows us to feel absurdly important while inhabiting, as Carl Sagan wrote in Pale Blue Dot, "a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark."

Glimpsed from the L train as it rumbles up to the open air at the Wilson Avenue station in Bushwick, Most Holy Trinity Cemetery isn't immediately different from the other numerous burial grounds that cluster around the Brooklyn-Queens border. Yet step inside its entrance at 685 Central Avenue before it dead ends, and a rolling landscape of rust stretches before your eyes.
All except the most recent graves are wood or metal, an early regulation set in place by the German Catholic Most Holy Trinity Church to enforce a posthumous equality. As the church's website explains, "from the earliest days, stone monuments were not allowed because no distinctions were permitted to be made between the rich and the poor."
Had We Lived: Tracing the Steps of Scott's Doomed South Pole Expedition
Atlas Obscura on Slate is a blog about the world's hidden wonders. Like us on Facebook, Tumblr, or follow us on Twitter.
Amid the seemingly endless white monotony of Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf, encased in a cairn made of snow, lie the bodies of three explorers who came agonizingly close to triumph. When they were discovered on Nov. 12, 1912, almost a year after they had bid farewell to their last support team, the fate of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's trip to the South Pole became clear.
Scott's expedition, officially known as the British Antarctic Expedition, set off from Wales in June 1910. The chief aim of the ambitious trip was to be the first to reach the South Pole. No one in the world had yet claimed that achievement, although Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen was a definite threat—he left Oslo on his own South Pole expedition 12 days before Scott's departure. The pressure was on.
On Sept. 13, 1911, after months of building shelters, laying depots filled with food and fuel, and conducting scientific research, Scott was ready for the trip to the Pole. Sixteen men divided into four teams began the journey, accompanied by sledges, dogs, and ponies. At predetermined points along the way, three of the sub-teams turned back, leaving Scott and four of his most resilient men to complete the journey to the South Pole and back.
Scott, Henry Bowers, Edgar Evans, Titus Oates, and Edward Wilson had been slogging through the snow for a miserable four months when, on Jan. 16, 1912, they finally got within 15 miles of the South Pole. There that they spotted a black speck in the distance. It was a flag, planted at the South Pole a month earlier by Roald Amundsen.
The disappointment weighed heavily on their exhausted shoulders, but Scott held out hope—although they wouldn't be the first to reach the Pole, they could still be the first to send the news back home if they hurried back.
The return journey, however, as chronicled in Scott's diary, is a heartbreaking account of dashed hopes, self-sacrifice, and staying determined until the bitter end. By the time they set off for home, the team was in poor health. Evans, in particular, was struggling: Scurvy, severe frostbite, and a head injury sustained during a fall on the ice had turned him into a different person. "Evans has nearly broken down in brain, we think," wrote Scott on Feb. 16, 1912. He died the next day.
A month later, amid plummeting temperatures, blizzards, and poor visibility—it was Oates who was in dire straits. His severely frostbitten feet made walking near impossible. Guilt-ridden and certain of his imminent death, 31-year-old Oates made a decision that has since become the ultimate example of noble self-sacrifice. On the evening of March 17, during a blizzard, Oates rose in the tent, turned to Scott, and uttered his last words: "I am just going outside and I may be some time." His body was never found.
The end was near, and Scott knew it. Two days after Oates walked into oblivion, a blizzard hit and did not relent for over a week. Scott, Evans, and Wilson were trapped in their tent with little food, scant fuel, and a sober awareness of their fate. Amazingly, they were just 11 miles from a depot stocked with food and fuel. In better weather, the team could have easily covered 11 miles in a day, but the blizzard made further travel impossible. Weakened and out of options, the men lay in their sleeping bags and waited to die.
The diary entries and letters that Scott wrote in this tent are terribly poignant and evocative. "Had we lived," he wrote on the last day, "I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale."
In a letter addressed "To my Widow," Scott wrote: "What lots and lots I could tell you of this journey. How much better has it been than lounging in too great comfort at home."
Scott's diary was found on Nov. 12, 1912, when a search party finally reached the tent and discovered the three men still cocooned in their sleeping bags. By that time they had been dead for over seven months. In his book The Worst Journey in the World, Apsley Cherry-Gerrard—one of the 16 men on the initial leg to the South Pole—described the makeshift funeral he and his three search party members conducted.
"Atkinson read the lesson from the Burial Service from Corinthians," he wrote. "Perhaps it has never been read in a more magnificent cathedral and under more impressive circumstances—for it is a grave which kings must envy."
When it came time to leave the bodies, the search team removed the poles from the tent, allowed it to collapse on their fallen colleagues, and built a cairn of snow on top. To finish, they took a pair of skis and fashioned a cross, which they placed atop the cairn. Having read Scott's diary and learned the fate of Oates, they searched for him, but couldn't find a trace. The team built another cairn near the tent to honor him.
Given the harrowing demise of Scott and his South Pole team, it's not surprising it took over 100 years for anyone to reattempt his journey. But in October 2013, after 10 years of planning, Ben Saunders and Tarka L'Herpiniere embarked on a quest to retrace Scott's steps and complete the unfinished last leg. Departing from Scott's hut on the coast of the Ross Sea, Saunders and L'erpiniere spent 104 days skiing to the South Pole and back, each pulling a sledge weighing up to 440 pounds.
On Feb. 7, 2014, the duo became the first to complete Scott's journey—1,800 miles on foot, walking an average of 17 miles per day in wind chill as low as -50 degrees Fahrenheit. It's amazing the innovations a century brings: Instead of writing journal entries in pencil at the end of each day, Saunders blogged on a laptop customized to withstand the cold. At the end of each day, he uploaded text, photos, videos, and GPS stats to a website that tracked their movements.
Scott's expedition diary has been published in blog format at the University of Cambridge's Scott Polar Research Institute site. The blog detailing Saunders and L'Herpiniere's journey is online at ScottExpedition.com.

Tanah Lot Temple: Come for the Spectacular Sunset, Stay for the Holy Snake
Atlas Obscura on Slate is a blog about the world's hidden wonders. Like us on Facebook and Tumblr, or follow us on Twitter.
At high tide, Tanah Lot, a rock formation with a temple (pura) on top, looks like a ship made of stone. One of seven ocean temples along the southwest coast of Bali, Pura Tanah Lot was built around the 16th century to honor the spirits of the sea. According to Balinese mythology, a Brahmin priest named Niratha established the temple and protected it from evil by taking off his sashes and throwing them into the sea. The sashes, says the myth, transformed into sea snakes. To this day they are regarded as the slithering security guards of Tanah Lot.
The temple is only accessible at low tide, when the water recedes enough to reveal a land bridge. Non-Hindu visitors are not permitted to enter Pura Tanah Lot, but can get close enough to admire its pavilions and pagodas. For a small fee, anyone is welcome to see and even touch the "holy snake," a black-and-silver striped sea snake that hangs out in a cave by the temple. Though Balinese sea snakes are venomous, handlers promise that the holy snake is too docile to harm you.
Sunset is spectacular at Tanah Lot, though visiting at dusk does require you to pass through a gauntlet of souvenir vendors. Once you've made it beyond the "I love Bali" T-shirts, you'll be rewarded with the sight of Tanah Lot beginning to glow as the sky shifts slowly from pink to black.

Spain's Stunning Solar Power Towers
Atlas Obscura on Slate is a blog about the world's hidden wonders. Like us on Facebook and Tumblr, or follow us on Twitter.
Two slim towers rise from the fields 20 miles west of Seville, each bathed in the rays of an otherworldly glow. Though they look like portals to another dimension, they serve a much more practical purpose: They are the "power towers" of Solucar, the largest solar energy complex in Europe.
The towers, named PS10 and PS20, began operating in 2007 and 2009. Each is surrounded by a field of angled mirrors known as heliostats, which reflect solar radiation onto a receiver located at the top of each tower. This reflected sunlight illuminates dust and water vapor in the air, resulting in the brilliant glowing rays.
The heliostats—624 for the PS10 and 1,255 for the PS20—move during the day in order to reflect the most sunlight possible. When the rays of light reach the receiver, their heat produces steam, which is used to power a turbine. The turbine drives a generator, thereby producing electricity.
With its abundant, intense sunshine, the Spain's southern Andalusia region is primed for solar plants. And the country is a pioneer when it comes to solar energy: PS10 was the world's first commercial concentrating solar power tower. (The "power tower" design is a type of concentrated solar power, or CSP, which differs from the photovoltaic systems used in the majority of solar farms. CSP uses heat, while photovoltaic methods convert light directly to electricity. The main advantage of CSP is that thermal energy can be stored and used later, when sunlight is low. Photovoltaic power stations do not have that capability, but they are cheaper to build and maintain.)
In July 2014, over 8 percent of Spain's electricity came from solar power. But the country's solar development has hit a few bumps recently. After years of subsidizing solar energy, the Spanish government has introduced laws scrapping premiums and requiring solar power producers to pay a fee for the electricity they generate—a "sun tax," as it's come to be known.
While Spain struggles to regain its position as a top global solar innovator, Abengoa Solar, the Spanish company behind Solucar, has been branching out into the United States. In Arizona, about 70 miles southwest of Phoenix, lies a massive grid of curved, glinting mirrors. These are the parabolic troughs of Solana Generating Station, a CSP plant opened in October 2013 that produces enough energy to power 70,000 homes.

The Soviet-Era Railways Run by Children
Atlas Obscura on Slate is a blog about the world's hidden wonders. Like us on Facebook and Tumblr, or follow us on Twitter.
Gyermekvasút, a seven-station railway line located in the hills of Buda, Hungary, offers a relaxing heritage train ride. But there's something a little Bugsy Malone about it all: Railway operations, from ticket sales to signal switching to traffic control, are handled by pre-adolescent children.
Gyermekvasút is one of more than 50 children's railways established across the USSR and Eastern Europe during the Soviet era. As part of their Young Pioneer activities, kids ages 10 to 14 worked the rails to get training in the practical skills they would need to become adult employees of the train system.
The first children's railway opened in Gorky Park, Moscow, in 1932. During the '30s, '40s, and '50s, similar systems popped up in places as far-flung as Minsk (now in Belarus), Yerevan (now in Armenia), Berlin, and Budapest.
Decades after the fall of communism, many of these kid-focused railways still operate. In Budapest, children must take a four-month training course before they can work their volunteer shifts. They are rostered on for one day every two weeks or so, and are allowed to miss school to tend to the trains. Adults handle the train driving and maintenance duties, and there is one grown-up present at every station in case of emergencies.
Though the political situation is markedly different from the days of the USSR, remnants of the Soviet era remain: The children, wearing military-inspired uniforms, salute every train as it passes.

More and more people are switching to single ring drivetrains and the Race Face Narrow Wide Single Chain Ring enables the switch to be made without using a chain guide. This ring is designed to prevent chain drops by persistently keeping the chain engaged through the use of "Narrow-Wide" teeth profiling. Every other tooth is shaped like a regular, non-shifting tooth, but the other teeth are thicker, with additional "spines" on either side of the tooth. This combination fits into the chain's different-sized links, and practically eliminates the chance of chain drop.
