Parc national de Wind Cave

Le parc national de Wind Cave (en anglais Wind Cave National Park) est un parc national américain situé dans l'État du Dakota du Sud. Il possède parmi les plus longues et complexes grottes du monde, qui furent protégées dès 1903 par le président Theodore Roosevelt. Il s'agissait alors du premier parc national américain créé pour protéger une cavité souterraine. Le parc présente également 11 450 hectares de prairies et de forêts de conifères. Les grottes sont connues pour leurs formations particulières de calcite ressemblant à des nids d'abeilles. Grottes La Wind Cave est la sixième plus longue du monde , avec 226 kilomètres explorés en 2018, et celle qui possède le plus gros volume de passage. Elle fut nommée « Wind Cave » (« Grotte du Vent ») à cause du courant d'air bruyant qui s'échappait de son orifice lors de sa découverte. Large et extrêmement complexe, Wind Cave a subi de nombreux changements géologiques et le processus de poursuit. On trouve dans les grottes des filonnets de calcite en relief appelés « boxwork », et 90 % des boxwork trouvés dans le monde se trouvent dans ces grottes. Nature Le parc national protège également, au-dessus des grottes, la plus grande prairie d'herbes mixtes des Etats-Unis. La prairie est un refuge pour la faune sauvage composée notamment de bisons, d'orignaux, de cerfs, de pronghorns, de coyotes, de chiens de prairie, de ratons-laveurs, de porcs-épics et de castors. En 1913, 14 bisons (espèce qui avait disparu) furent réintroduits, avec succès car les troupeaux se sont considérablement agrandis depuis. L'antilope pronghorn a été réintroduite à la même époque (tout comme le wapiti) : les 18 animaux d'origine sont maintenant entre 60 et 120. On y trouve également de petits prédateurs, chats sauvages, pumas, blaireaux, mais le coyote est le plus répandu. Le crotale des prairies est également présent. La prairie est complétée, sur ses hauteurs, par une forêt de pins ponderosa. 25 % du parc est couvert d'arbres.

Wind Cave National Park

Wind Cave National Park is een nationaal park in de Verenigde Staten, achttien kilometer ten noorden van het stadje Hot Springs in het westen van de staat South Dakota. Het park, gelegen in de Black Hills, werd opgericht in 1903 door president Theodore Roosevelt en was het zevende nationale park in de Verenigde Staten en de eerste grot die tot nationaal park werd bestemd in de wereld. De grot is opmerkelijk om haar calcietformaties die bekendstaan als boxwork. Naar schatting bevindt 95 procent van de boxwork-formaties zich in de Wind Cave. Wind Cave is ook bekend voor haar frostwork. De grot wordt beschouwd als een driedimensioneel doolhof. De grot stak op 11 februari 2006 de Hoelloch-grot uit Zwitserland voorbij en werd de vierde langste grot in de wereld met 192 kilometer aan verkende grotdoorgangen. Boven de grond bevat het park de grootst overblijvende natuurlijk gemengde grasprairie in de Verenigde Staten. Ontdekking en exploratie De Lakota, een Amerikaans indianenvolk dat leefde in de Black Hills van South Dakota, spraken van een gat dat lucht blies. Ze beschouwden het gat in de grond als heilig, als de plaats waar de mensheid uit de onderwereld tevoorschijn kwam na de demiurge schepping van de wereld. De eerste gedocumenteerde ontdekking van de grot gebeurde in 1881 door de broers Tom en Jess Bingham. Zij hoorden het ruisen van wind uit een gat in de grond van 250 op 360 mm. Het verhaal gaat dat toen Tom in het gat keek, de wind zo hard waaide dat zijn hoed van zijn hoofd werd geblazen. De wind die ze hoorden en voelden verklaart de naam van de grot. De wind beweegt zich afhankelijk van de atmosferische druk naar de oppervlakte en in de grot. Wanneer de druk buiten groter is dan binnen wordt de lucht naar binnen gezogen; wanneer de druk hoger is binnen de grot, waait de wind naar buiten. Sinds de herontdekking van de grot in 1881 door blanke verkenners gingen slechts een aantal mensen meer dan enkele meters in de Wind Cave. Het duurde tot in de vroege jaren 1890, toen de zestienjarige Alvin McDonald de grot begon te verkennen, voor het duidelijk werd dat de Wind Cave verder liep dan het oorspronkelijke gat. De vader van Alvin McDonald, J.D. McDonald, werkte bij de South Dakota Mining Company op zoek naar goud in de grot, maar was niet succesvol. In de plaats ontdekte men de mogelijkheid om exploratietochten in de grot te organiseren. Deze vroege tochten gebeurden bij kaarslicht waarbij men door zeer smalle doorgangen moest kruipen. Aan de oppervlakte Wind Cave National Park beschermt een divers ecosysteem met oostelijke en westelijke flora en fauna. Tot de meer zichtbare diersoorten behoren het edelhert (Wapiti), de Amerikaanse bizon (de enige populatie van volbloed bizons die niet is geïnfecteerd met brucellose), de gaffelbok en de prairiehond. Door het park gaan verschillende wegen en voor 50 km aan wandelpaden. Hierdoor is haast het hele park toegankelijk. In 2003 telde het park 850.000 bezoekers.

Sedert kort nadien wordt een oud zinkgat laag per laag uitgegraven en onderzocht. In de afzettingslagen van 100.000 tot 200.000 jaar oud, werden al 3 wolharige mammoeten en 58 Amerikaanse mammoeten gevonden. Daarnaast vond men ook beenderen van bijna 90 andere dieren, waaronder die van uitgestorven kortsnuitberen, struik-ossen (Euceratherium collinum), Amerikaanse kamelen en lama's maar ook die van coyotes, nertsen, prairiehonden en wolven.

Hotel Alex Johnson

The Hotel Alex Johnson is a historic hotel in Rapid City, South Dakota. It was opened in 1928 by its namesake, Alex Carlton Johnson. From 1956 to 1968, it was operated by Sheraton Hotels and Resorts and was known as the Sheraton-Johnson Hotel. Today, it is part of the Curio Collection by Hilton Hotels & Resorts and is managed by Liv Hospitality. In 1974, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property to the Rapid City Historic Commercial District. History The hotel was built by its namesake, Alex Carlton Johnson, Vice President of the Chicago & North Western Railroad. Construction began on August 19, 1927, one day before work began on nearby Mount Rushmore. Originally called Hay Camp, the hotel opened on July 1, 1928, and was officially dedicated on August 11, 1928. The building was designed by Chicago architects Oldefest & Williams. It was sold to the Eppley Hotel Company in 1947. That chain was bought by Sheraton Hotels and Resorts in 1956 and the hotel was renamed the Sheraton-Johnson Hotel. Sheraton sold the hotel in 1965 but continued to operate it under a franchise contract until 1968, when it regained its original name. The hotel is currently managed by Liv Hospitality. In 2016, a restoration project was announced to update the building's infrastructure and refurbish the interior for an estimated total of $7 million. Architecture The Hotel Alex Johnson is an eight-story brick structure that combines Tudor Revival architecture with vernacular elements. It has decorative masonry and a flat roof. Its interior is decorated with Western and Native American design elements. Several original features are still present, including a teepee-shaped chandelier, hand-drawn motifs on the ceilings, and wooden sculptures of Native American chiefs. It was one of the earliest tall buildings in South Dakota and is the tallest building in Rapid City. Paranormal folklore The Hotel Alex Johnson has long been rumored to be haunted by several ghosts. Reports of paranormal activity include objects moving by themselves, figures in mirrors, and disembodied footsteps or voices. Reportedly, a ghost called the Lady in White haunts room 812 after dying there. Others report sightings of the ghost of Johnson himself. The hotel keeps several books detailing guests' paranormal experiences at the front desk. As of December 2024, the book that was kept on the front desk has been stolen. In 2011, the television show Ghost Hunters filmed an episode about the hotel for its seventh season. The hotel offers a Ghost Adventure Package, inviting guests to stay in the most haunted rooms with a provided EMF reader. In popular culture The Sheraton-Johnson Hotel is mentioned numerous times in dialogue in the 1959 Alfred Hitchcock film North by Northwest as the hotel where the mysterious George Kaplan will be staying. Hitchcock, Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint stayed at the hotel while filming at nearby Mount Rushmore.
