Mount Massive (14,428 feet) is a fourteener in the Sawatch Range of the US State of Colorado. It is the second highest peak in Colorado, edging out the third highest, Mount Harvard, by one foot, and lower than Mount Elbert by 12 ft (3.7 m). It is the third highest peak in the contiguous United States. It is located in Lake County, approximately 10 mi (16 km) west-southwest of Leadville and 18 mi (28 km) east of Aspen. It lies in the Mount Massive Wilderness, part of the San Isabel National Forest.

Mount Massive was first surveyed and climbed in 1873 during the Hayden Survey of the American West; survey member Henry Gannett is credited with the first ascent. Its name comes from its elongated shape: it has five summits, all above 14,000 ft (4,268 m), and a summit ridge over 3 mi (4.8 km) long, resulting in more area above 14000 ft (4267.2 m) than any other mountain in the 48 contiguous states, narrowly edging Mt. Rainier in that category. Mount Elbert (14,440 feet) is Mount Massive's nearest neighbor among the fourteeners; it lies about 5 mi (8 km) south-southeast of the peak.

Mount Massive is a long but relatively easy climb. The standard route climbs the peak from the east; it is 13.6 mi (22 km) round trip with a 4,377 ft (1,334 m) elevation gain, via a class 2 trail.

2.70 min. | 4.47 user rating		 Evacuation order was imposed Friday August 6 2010 for 1500 residents in/near Pemberton. British Colombia. An evacuation alert was issued for 4000 people. A massive mud slide occurred from melting nearby Capricorn Glacier. 40 million cubic meters of debris moved. Compared to 1998 when 1.2 million meters of material came down from Mt. Meager, it one of the largest movement in Canadian history. Although evacuations were lifted there remains DANGER! This is not OVER! Why did the glacier started melting over night? Yes, it has been hot ... but! This region of BC is the most volatile of Canada. In 400 BC. Mount Meager Erupted, spewing ashes as far east as Aberta/Saskatchewan border. In 1975, a substantial rockslide on Devastator buried a party of geologists. There will be another eruption of the Meager Group in the near future. But WHEN? Maybe this August incident is a warning ... Since we are dealing with LIVING MAGNA tunnels in Garibaldi Volcanic belt!!
5.55 min. | 4.81 user rating		 This is a video I made from a couple of excess videos I was supposed to put in the Cinematic montage 2, but I forgot they existed (they were recorded to a different folder) but here they are, and these are specifically me testing the limit of battle size on my computer, and with these 2 massive battles of about 900 troops at once (M&B crashed many times when recording these) my cpu was really tested. I hope you like this short vid. (also please note that when filming these the game was NOT running smoothly, max fps was about 5, so I ticked the "No sync" option in fraps to smooth it for the video)
