Here are some more information for Aircraft Spot Landing:
No, well get out your beach towels. For, on a beautiful, sunny and calm summer day, admittedly a rare meteorological occurrence at this latitude, you may want to visit Nautholsvik (pronounced "nay-tolls-veek") for a day at the beach. Yes, there's a beach in Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland, and on very good day you can sunbathe, play volleyball, build sandcastles and even swim. Truth be told you could do many of these things on any day just not in a swimsuit. Iceland is famous, or shall I say notorious, for its capricious weather.
That's not to say that there isn't nice weather here. It just won't stay that way and warm days are somewhat rare, all of which creates a sense of urgency to get out and soak up the sun. The day I visited Reykjavik's "thermal beach," as it is called here, was on a particularly splendid Saturday in July, the skies were clear, the winds calm and the temperature was about 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit) -- downright warm for Iceland.
Nautholsvik is situated in a nice little cove at the mouth of a small bay and is not far from downtown Reykjavik. If you are ever here and want to find this beach just locate the Reykjavik Airport and follow the road that parallels the runway to the end. Yes, it is right near an airport but it is just a small regional airport for domestic flights and not a big noise disturbance. On the contrary, it's kind of interesting to see the various small aircraft taking off and landing. Nautholsvik is mostly man-made: the sand was brought from elsewhere and the ocean swimming area artificially created. It has two fresh water swimming/wading pools more like oversized hot tubs, called hot pots, both with heated fresh water. The two hot pots are kept at about 38 degrees Celsius (about 100 Fahrenheit) and the ocean swimming area is about 30 degrees Celsius (about 86 Fahrenheit).
There's a nominal charge of 200 kronur (about $2.75) per person to swim in the hot pots; other then that the beach is free. There's also a nice building adjacent to the rectangle shaped pool where you can borrow a locker, change into your swimsuit and buy ice cream and other snacks. The whole thing is run by a city wide organization called Íþrótta Og Tómstundaráð Reykjavíkur (a mouthful), ÍTR for short. They are the same organization that's in charge of all the pools and spas in Reykjavik.
Your day at Nauthólsvik can include most of the standard beach activities - sorry, no surfing. It even has a very nice paved walkway that follows the ocean, circling around the airport in one direction and following along the bay in the other direction. People rollerblade, walk, run and bicycle along this route. There's even a small coffee house near the beach sporting a traditional Icelandic sod roof. There you can have the refreshment of your choice and watch the people go by or daydream about traveling to an island way out in the North Atlantic, just below the Arctic Circle. Wait that´s where I am! And, I can't help but be almost constantly amazed by the irony of this place given its global position. Planet Earth is an amazing, beautiful and diverse place.
Nautholsvik used to be just the site of a small, natural hot water stream that fed into the ocean and Icelanders have been coming here to bath for years. Though I wonder how warm the bathing area was back then with just a small hot water stream flowing into the bay. This spot is no longer dependent on a small stream and has its own connection to the city's hot water supply which, coincidentally is located in five huge tanks on the hill above the beach at a site called Perlan (the pearl). Iceland has hot water in spades; it is the lifeblood of this country. And, it is used for just about everything, from home heating to warming the ocean water for swimming. Let's face it without this abundant hot water swimming here would be unbearable.
It is redundant and almost cliché to say that Iceland is a land of extremes and contrasts, I know. But, the truth is, everywhere you look you are reminded of this fact. Nauthólsvík is just another example of this. Iceland is a beautiful country and there is so much more to see. It can also be a harsh land. These contrasts come together to create an atmosphere and mood that is totally unique. And, when the weather decides to cooperate and the sun shines and the sky is clear, I have rarely seen a more beautiful place than here. The views go on and on as far as the eye can see, the air is clean and clear and the temperature can soar - well, sort of. So, if you come to Iceland, don't forget your sunscreen.
If you decide to visit and are looking for things to do in Iceland consider an Iceland tour There are many tour operators located right in Reykjavik, it's worth the investment. - David Brooks
Vail Resorts: Why This Vacation Spot Is a Great Idea!
Not only is this home to the largest single mountain ski resort in the planet, Vail Mountain, its slopes also offer ski aficionados one of the most varied terrains in the whole of skiingdom-come.
Highlights of the Town:
The Town of Vail resorts has a total area of 4.5 square miles, an average elevation of 8,150 ft, is surrounded by White River National Forest and is sliced from east to west by Gore Creek. It can be reached by plane via Eagle County Airport which is just a few minutes from town. Air traffic is substantially busiest during the winter months when the rate of commercial flight and private aircraft landings shoot up. Once on the ground, you can go around through various forms of land transportation.
If you want more privacy and have the money to spend for it, there are car rental services available. 4×4's or SUV's are the most practical due to the rugged terrain. There are also shuttle services and a bus system for those who don't mind commuting. However, if you simply want to explore the town, you may use the most efficient means of transportation – your feet. The town is Bavarian-inspired and hence pedestrian friendly.
Winter and Summer:
In the past, Vail, CO was only known as a winter destination. Recently, however, people have come to notice its equally alluring summers. This has turned both the city and the mountain year-round outdoor destinations. The mountain has an average snowfall of 364 inches per year which is perfect for winter sports. However, when all this starts to thaw, it gives life to a myriad of wonders trapped underneath during the cold season. For example, the melting feeds rushing rapids that are perfect for white water rafting. When the snow is completely gone, what is left is a rugged verdant landscape that beacons a new set of outdoor sports.
Booming business:
Since the Town of Vail, CO is located at the foot of a world class ski resort its economy is understandably hinged on tourism. It is dotted with hotels, condominiums, restaurants, coffee shops, and spas. And because people from around the world flock to this Vail vacation resort, creating an influx of diverse cultures, a variety of restaurants have sprouted to cater to the different culinary preferences. Many of the businesses are upscale since many celebrities and other rich people frequent the area during winter. In fact at that time of the year it is normal to see celebrities every day. As such, many 5 star hotels have found their way here.
Outdoor-related businesses are also widespread. These include instructors and shops for activities such as biking, hiking, kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, skating, snowboarding, and of course, skiing.
Real estate appreciation:
After their first visit to Vail, CO, people long to come back for more. And as they keep coming back, they realize that there will always be something in the place that they will always long to explore. Every year, as the snow caps melt, it reveals new natural splendors and it is perhaps because of this that people finally decide to make the place their home. Residing in the resort of Vail however, is easier said than done. Every year, real estate appreciates to seemingly insurmountable levels. Hence, only those who can really afford, can afford to stay.

the telescope can i see the moon real close with it?
To buy a good large telescope from a telescope shop for under 500dollars AUSTRALIAN dollars.... and point the telescope to the moon.. would i be able to see the moon real close ?
If NASA was to head to the moon... and i was to view the moon with my 500dollar telescope would i be able to see the aircraft heading to the moon and even see it land on the moon?
The large telescope is a big one thick and wide aprox 178cm large.. but cost 500bucks.. Its better then buying a cheap 200bucks telescope.
Im just curiouse to wonder if i was to be able to see this.
Also how about mars
How about close ups of a satellite if i can spot a satellite moving at night and looks like a slow moving star but its a satellite could i be able to see it with my 500dollar telescope ?
There isn't a telescope on Earth large enough to resolve a Moon lander. Typical resolution for a large amateur telescope is about the size of a football field.
178cm? You must be referring to the scope's focal length; mostly we classify telescopes by their aperture, the diameter of their main lens or mirror. My main telescope has a 28cm aperture (11 inches).
Mars is a disappointing object for most amateur astronomers. For the next decade or so it will be too small to show much detail.
Most satellites move too fast to make out much detail with a telescope. When I have a satellite pass through my telescope's field of view, I will often track it manually, but it never appears as more than a spot of light.
I get the most pleasure out of observing Jupiter, which is large enough that it shows a lot of detail. The Moon and Saturn are also very rewarding.
