He left his job as president of Cirque du Soleil in 2001 and the next year bought Le Massif, which was on the brink of bankruptcy, for 10 million Canadian dollars.
In Oban Massif, which is a hard rock terrain with low success ratio of drilled boreholes leading to water scarcity in the area and combined with the increase in demographic and economic activities, resulting from increased mining and quarrying activities, the demand for potable water has increased exponentially.
The Atlantis Massif, which is interpreted as an ocean core complex composed of deep crustal (gabbro) and upper mantle rocks (peridotite) that have been unroofed and exposed at the surface as a result of faulting [16 and references therein], [ 17], provided a rare opportunity to sample gabbros, which are generally beyond the reach of currently available drilling technologies.
The extent of the area occupied on the Gelbison massif, which is limited to very narrow patches, could have been restricted during the last decades by the plantations of the alien conifers P. menziesii and P. abies on the lower altitudinal range where S. sacra finds its habitat.
The summit zone contains six distinct mountain massifs, which are separated by well-defined passes and deep river valleys.
The forests form three important forest massifs, which are located at the slopes of the Chatkal and the Fergana Ranges of the western Tien Shan at altitudes between 1,100 and 2,000m.
More than 275 fern species are present in the rainforests of the massif, 18 of which are tree ferns and seven are found only at Marojejy.
In fact, the ancestral haplotype has been detected in the populations of Anaga (northeast Tenerife) and nearby Teno massif (northwest Tenerife), which are old areas considered to have been independent islands for millions of years [14], [63], while derived tip haplotypes are found in younger areas of Tenerife.
In terms of their ages, there is a clear distinction between Küre Complex and the southern Mesozoic-aged metamorphic units, which are Kargı Massif, Domuzdağ and Çangaldağ complexes, renowned collectively as Central Pontides Supercomplex (CPS) (Okay et al. 2013).
Other rock types in Oban Massif are amphibolites, schists, phyllites, and granodiorite which are dominant in the western Oban Massif.
