Stars are seen in the night sky over Kukenan and Roraima mounts near the Tec Camp
Stars are seen in the night sky over Kukenan (L) and Roraima mounts near the Tec Camp, near Venezuelas border with Brazil January 14, 2015. A mysterious table-topped mountain on the Venezuela-Brazil border that perplexed 19th century explorers and inspired " The Lost World" novel is attracting ever more modern-day adventurers. Once impenetrable to all but the local Pemon indigenous people, now several thousand trekkers a year make the six-day hike across Venezuelas savannah, through rivers, and up a narrow path that scales Mount Roraimas 600-meter cliff-faces. While that is a help to Venezuelas tottering tourism industry and brings revenues to local communities, it is also scattering a prehistoric landscape with unwanted litter.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Stars illuminate the night sky above the majestic Kukenan and Roraima mountains near Tec Camp, located on the border of Venezuela and Brazil. This print captures the ethereal beauty of a landscape that once perplexed 19th-century explorers and inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's renowned novel, 'The Lost World. ' Today, this enigmatic table-topped mountain range continues to allure modern-day adventurers from around the globe. Previously accessible only to the indigenous Pemon people, Mount Roraima now welcomes thousands of intrepid trekkers annually who embark on a challenging six-day journey across Venezuela's vast savannahs, rivers, and steep cliffs. While this influx of visitors provides much-needed support for Venezuela's struggling tourism industry and benefits local communities economically, it also brings an unfortunate consequence: litter. This remarkable photograph was captured using a slow exposure technique by Carlos Garcia Rawlins. It serves as a reminder that amidst our quest for exploration and discovery, we must remain mindful stewards of nature. Let us cherish these prehistoric landscapes while preserving their pristine beauty for generations to come. Editors take
