 Fetish? Hmmm…now that sounds interesting, doesn’t it? If you’re up for an extraordinary trip, then why not take a visit to the world’s largest fetish/ body art club, the Torture Garden. Formed in October 1990 by Alan Pelling and David Wood, the Torture Garden was named after Octave Mirbeau’s turn of the century novel. Torture Garden or TG caters to a wide range of open-minded people who are interested in exploring their sexuality and individuality. As a fetish club, men and women can be themselves without worrying about fear and discrimination from other people. However, more than anything else, TG is also famous for its astonishing theatrical performances and fashion shows. For the interested traveler, TG’s shows regularly take place at Mass, a club in a converted Brixton church.

Mainly of Alaska’s glaciers are retreating or thinning or mutually, a new book by the U.S. Geological Survey news.

About 5 percent of Alaska’s area is enclosed by more than 100,000 glaciers — that’s about 29,000 square miles (75,000 square kilometers), or more than the entire state of West Virginia.

While a few of Alaska’s large glaciers are advancing, 99 percent are receding, the book, “Glaciers in Alaska,” states. The book was written by USGS examine geologist Bruce Molina.

A USGS project to take pictures of the glaciers of Montana’s Glacier National Park also showed significant retreat. Based on these photos and glacier recession rates, scientists envisaged the park could lose its namesakes by 2030.

Greenland, which is covered by more ice than somewhere else in the world outside Antarctica, has also seen significant melt of its glaciers in recent decades.

The new book on Alaska’s glaciers used satellite images, aerial photos, maps and other studies to document the retreat of the glaciers, which began as early as the mid-19th century. Some glaciers have even disappeared since being mapped in the mid-20th century, the report found.

The account also said that glaciers in Alaska saw “important retreat” in the last two decades of the 20th century.
