7. Neat stuff! "discovered containing pristine ancient forests." Reminds me of an old Rush song.

And Coleridge poem about Xanadu.

To stand within the Pleasure Dome
Decreed by Kublai Khan
To taste anew the fruits of life
The last immortal man

To find the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
For I will dine on honeydew
And drink the milk of paradise
