They look wonderful. There's something so alluring about a place in which there is virtually no life. There's an interesting book about the allure of that territory called Moon Palace, by Paul Auster. Ever since I read his descriptions of what being in such a place, surrounded by everything that isn't "civilisation", can do to you.
