Print article As a few scientists hiked a path between the ice towers of a Southeast Alaska glacier and crashing ocean waves in 2016, they topped a ridge and saw massive tree trunks poking from gravel ahead.

The yard along the Garden Town on Ferozepur Road too had been eyed by the entrepreneurs for long.
The project for a 500+-foot high block, to be funded by a party from the Middle East, had begun with deep excavations for its basement floors. The aviation authorities had their reservations and had refused to accord an NOC for it because of its planned height. For many years the abandoned site lay shuttered with warning signs. The motorists and other commuters had to avoid banging against its corrugated steel fencing and plunging

ORLAND, MAINE â The cluster of a dozen or so houses in rural Maine could be a summer camp closed for the winter.
