美国的5个幽灵森林

美国的5个幽灵森林

1. Neskowin Beach, Oregon: During low tide at Neskowin Beach on Oregon's Tillamook Coast, a ghost forest emerges from the water. Hundreds of years ago, a forest of cedar and sitka spruce trees filled this area. But around 1700, a massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake destroyed them. Strong storms in 1997 and 1998 further eroded the beach, unearthing about 100 stumps.

俄勒冈州，纳斯科温海滩:在俄勒冈州蒂拉穆克海岸的纳斯科温海滩，退潮时，一片鬼森林从水中浮现。几百年前，这片地区到处都是雪松和锡特卡云杉。但在1700年左右，一场9.0级的大地震摧毁了它们。1997年和1998年的强风暴进一步侵蚀了海滩，挖出了大约100根树桩。

2. Copalis River, Washington: That earthquake in 1700 hit in the Pacific Ocean and triggered floods in the Pacific Northwest. The land along the Copalis River in Washington, where a grove of red cedar and spruce trees stood, dropped about six feet. The forest was inundated with saltwater and killed, but some of the remains still stand today.

华盛顿科帕利斯河:1700年发生在太平洋的地震引发了太平洋西北部的洪水。华盛顿科帕利斯河沿岸，有一片红杉树和云杉树的树林耸立着。森林被海水淹没而死亡，但一些遗迹至今仍屹立不倒。

3. Girdwood, Alaska: Pictured at the top of the page is a ghost forest along Seward Highway near Girdwood, Alaska, that formed after a devastating earthquake in 1964. The ground in this area sank 5 to 9 feet, and at high tide, the entire town called Portage ended up below sea level. A few ghost forests were created, and if you visit, apparently you can still see portions of the buildings underwater.

阿拉斯加，格德伍德:这张图片的顶部是阿拉斯加格德伍德附近的苏厄德高速公路上的一片鬼林，它是1964年一次毁灭性的地震后形成的。这一地区的地面下沉了5到9英尺，在涨潮时，整个被称为Portage的小镇都被淹没在海平面以下。一些鬼森林被创造出来，如果你参观，显然你仍然可以看到水下建筑的一部分。

4. Inks Lake State Park, Texas: In the mid-1930s, the Inks Dam was built on the Colorado River to form Inks Lake. In the process, a forest was flooded and the bare trunks still can be seen in the lake today. Kayaking through it can give you a great up-close view of wildlife.

德克萨斯州墨湖州立公园:20世纪30年代中期，墨湖大坝建在科罗拉多河上，形成墨湖。在这个过程中，一个森林被淹没，从裸露的树干仍然可以看到今天的湖泊。划独木舟穿过它可以让你近距离观察野生动物。

5. South Carolina's barrier islands: They don't call it Boneyard Beach for nothing. It's a ghost forest located on Bulls Island, one of South Carolina's barrier islands. Rising sea levels and eroding shore lines formed the ghost forest on this and other barrier islands. Plus, the trees have been bleached by the sun, giving them a truly ghost-like appearance.

南卡罗莱纳的屏障岛:人们不会无缘无故地把它叫做墓地海滩。这是一个位于南卡罗莱纳屏障岛之一的公牛岛上的鬼森林。海平面的上升和海岸线的侵蚀形成了这个岛屿和其他屏障岛屿上的幽灵森林。此外，树木已经被太阳漂白，形成了一个真正的幽灵般的外观。
