To Mr. "superman"
1. Thank you for your mail concerning singing sands in Chile,which point out my confusion. I could ascertained it by map, I corrected the map of my web site. My knowledge for places of the sounds producing sand in your country is from a book of Charles Robert Darwin's Naturalist's Voyage in the Beagle(1906). Your information is very precious one. At present.existence itself of the sands is rare case in the world. I am pleased with your word "I am fanatic of the sand".
In Japan, we have a official group of the natural conservation of the sand.The group is all over the country, consisted by the top of the self-governing body.
The group have a national conference every year. Existence itself of the sands is a symbol of clean environment.
2. I am regrettable to get some knowledge from your site. I want some advice to me , how I can get the detail data.
