James Price Point is an area of outstanding natural beauty, deep cultural heritage, and even some significant ichnology evidence. The world's largest collection of dinosaur footprints—from at least 21 different species—are said to be found here, prompting some to call this 'Australia's Jurassic Park,' and the 'Cretaceous equivalent of the Serengeti.' And this headland in the Kimberley region of Western Australia has also been the site of environmental activism, when a proposed gas terminal was blocked by a coalition of environmental groups and the Goolarabooloo people, who know this place as Walmadany.

Considered the world’s largest central business district, the steel and concrete canyons of midtown Manhattan are home to a greatest-hits list of iconic buildings.

Planted at the end of a concrete pier that reaches into Lake Superior, the Duluth North Pier Light was placed on the US National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Although the structure may appear rather humble compared to some lighthouses, its inclusion on the historic register is well justified. Built in 1910, the Duluth North Pier Light is considered an especially fine example of an early-20th century breakwater beacon essential for Great Lakes maritime commerce. The waters of the Duluth Ship Canal harbor are notoriously tricky to navigate, and the infamous wreck of the steamship SS Mataafa in 1905 spurred the building of this light on the canal's entrance.
