Hoover dam at Henderson Nevada near the city of Las Vegas, United States.

United States. Arizona. Coconino County. Colorado River close to the Glen Canyon Dam on Lake Powell. Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, between Utah and Arizona. It is a vacation spot visited by two million people every year. It lies on an area of 161,390 acres (65,310 ha) and has 1960 miles (3161 km) of shoreline (more than the entire Pacific coast of USA). Because of its ecological effect on the Colorado River and on the environment, Lake Powell and its dam have inspired heavy controversy from environmentalists.

The Hoover Dam towers above the Colorado River, a marvel of engineering and a testament to human ingenuity. Built during the Great Depression, the dam provided thousands of jobs and transformed the arid landscape of the American Southwest, generating hydroelectric power and providing water for irrigation and drinking. The massive concrete structure spans the Black Canyon, holding back the mighty Colorado River and creating the vast Lake Mead. Visitors can take guided tours of the dam's interior, marveling at the complex machinery and learning about the history of this iconic landmark. The Hoover Dam stands as a symbol of American resilience and resourcefulness, a testament to the power of human cooperation and determination.

I run along the top of the dam wall. No alarms yet. I pull out a grappling hook from my utility belt, quickly hook my foot strap to a cable, take a deep breath, then plunge down. The wind rushes against my face. I struggle to keep my eyes open against the force. Finally, the bungee reaches its limit, metres before my face hits the concrete. I shoot the grappling gun to the ground, it attaches and I pull myself to the ground. For England, James? For England, Alec.

Rhyolite is a type of extrusive igneous rock characterised by its light color, high silica content, and fine-grained texture. It forms from the rapid cooling of magma on the Earth's surface and is often associated with volcanic eruptions. Rhyolite is rich in silica (SiO₂), typically containing more than 70% silica. It is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar, with minerals like biotite, hornblende, and pumice often present.
