The abandoned Mys Aniva Lighthouse, Sakhalin Island, Russia. Built in 1939 by Japanese engineer Miura Shinobu, it was reclaimed by the Soviet Union after WW2 and turned into an autonomous nuclear-powered lighthouse. It’s said to be still radioactive today.

Flora and Sylva
This week we present illustrations from Flora de la Real Expedición Botánica del Nuevo Reino de Granada, a multivolume set of books based on the findings of José Celestino Mutis, a Spanish priest and botanist, who led a Royal Botanical Expedition to New Granada from 1783-1808. Mutis covered 8000 sq kilometers of what is now modern Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela. He systematically collected thousands of herbarium specimens and made numerous drawings and notes that were sent back to Spain, and are currently preserved in the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid.
In 1952, Colombia and Spain formed an international cultural agreement in which they proposed an editorial project to publish Mutis’ scientific findings. The publishing project is ongoing, and it is expected to exceed 60 volumes, which are organized by plant families. The images we are highlighting today are from Volume One, which describes the expedition, and Volume Seven on Microspermae and Orchidaceae.
