Starting with a rush-hour subway ride to South Station in Boston to catch the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago, Theroux winds up on the poky, wandering Old Patagonian Express steam engine, which comes to a halt in a desolate land of cracked hills and thorn bushes. But with Theroux the view along the way is what matters: the monologuing Mr. Thornberry in Costa Rica, the bogus priest of Cali, and the blind Jorge Luis Borges, who delights in having Theroux read Robert Louis Stevenson to him.

Cardiff-born Gwen (Nia Roberts) has been struggling with life since discovering she’s infertile. When her partner, Rhys (Matthew Gravelle) is sent on a photographic assignment to Patagonia, Gwen decides this could be just the break they need to salvage their relationship. But when she meets Welsh Patagonian Mateo (Matthew Rhys) her attraction to him takes her by surprise, and with Rhys absorbed in his project, what’s to stop this innocent flirtation developing into something more? Meanwhile, elderly Argentine Cerys (Marta Lubos) embarks on a pilgrimage to the Welsh Countryside of her ancestors, taking her shy neighbour Alejandro (Nahuel Perez Biscayart) with her as a chaperone. Cerys encourages Alejandro to broaden his horizons and when he meets gorgeous student, Sissy (Duffy), he sees that Cerys may well have a point. But elsewhere, Cerys is making some shocking discoveries of her own…

Conservación Patagónica, una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a la protección de los ecosistemas forestales y la biodiversidad en la región de la Patagonia de Chile y Argentina, está trabajando hacia la meta de la creación de Parque Nacional Patagonia, un parque de clase mundial similar en tamaño al Parque Nacional de Yosemite Park en California. Este video claramente muestra del paisaje del parque propuesto y lo hace un caso convincente para su protección y la restauración. También toca las amenazas ambientales para la zona como un proyecto hidroeléctrico masivo que haría presa de dos de los ríos salvajes y vírgenes de la Patagonia, uno de los cuales extiende a lo largo del borde de la propuesta de Parque Nacional de la Patagonia.

The route shows passengers the diversity of the Patagonian region.

From there tourists explore a world filled with exuberant vegetation, and a tour of the 30,000 year old San Rafael glacier.

The Mare Australis provides its passengers with fine dining serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with alternative meals available. The cruise ship also offers a number of activities that guests can participate in, some include: bingo, board games, classes of knots, lectures, an exhibition hall for viewing films and more.

Madison Heights, MI (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

This time of year all of us are bombarded with predictable 72-hour-sales, ridiculously deep discounts and thoughtless email blasts. This is the new normal and Moosejaw hates it.

Moosejaw, the outdoor retailer, is changing the way we think about discounts. Moosejaw just launched The UnClearance Project, a charity-driven campaign that donates a portion of clearance orders.

“Clearance season is a necessary evil of retailing,” said Eoin Comerford, Moosejaw’s SVP of Marketing & Technology. “So we challenged ourselves to turn this necessary evil into an unexpected good.”

Two dollars of every clearance order at Moosejaw goes to Saint Damien Pediatric Hospital, Haiti’s only free children’s hospital. The great news is that it’s working. In the first 2 weeks the project has already raised over $ 15,000.

“The UnClearance Project is something Moosejaw customers are getting behind it. They are changing the culture of clearance and doing some good,” says Creative Director Gary Wohlfeill.

Even two years after Haiti’s devastating earthquake, the region is still in need of major assistance. Moosejaw partnered with Friends of the Orphans, an organization that works closely with the Saint Damien’s, to match every dollar of Moosejaw’s $ 25,000 goal.

At Moosejaw we sell the best outdoor gear gear and apparel in the world and have the most fun possible while doing it. Our goal is to engage customers with our unique brand voice and a little youthful enthusiasm. We call it Moosejaw madness. Moosejaw offers products from The North Face, Arc’teryx, Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear, and Black Diamond as well as under its own Moosejaw brand. The company serves a diverse customer base including serious outdoor enthusiasts, active individuals pursuing an outdoor lifestyle, and high school and college students who are passionate about the Moosejaw brand. Moosejaw operates through Moosejaw.com as well as seven retail stores.
