Antwerp, Belgium

According to the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA), the port of Antwerp was the seventeenth largest (by tonnage) port in the world in 2005 and second only to Rotterdam in Europe. Importantly it handles high volumes of economically attractive general and project cargo, as well as bulk cargo. Antwerp's docklands, with five oil refineries, are home to a massive concentration of petrochemical industries, second only to the petrochemical cluster in Houston, Texas.

Terminal at the Port of Antwerp.

Pine Barrens, NJ

The Pine Barrens is an area that stretches across seven counties in central New Jersey. The population density of the Pine Barrens is actually lower today than it was during New Jersey's days as a colony. The area was a major source of bog iron to the colonies (and the war effort). It's also the home of the Leeds family, and the Jersey Devil. And home to the less threatening Pine Barrens Tree Frog, which is also found in a few isolated areas of the American South.
