Surinamese men of mixed ethnic origins compete in the Indian folk sport called Makhan Chor (butter thief) during the Hindu Festival of Holi, known as the Festival of Colors, in Paramaribo, Suriname, March 17, 2014. Makhan Chor is played by forming a human pyramid with the lightest on top trying to grab a jar of butter hanging some 6 to 7 meters high. Makhan Chor is also one of the many names of the Hindu Lord Krishna who steals butter with his friends. REUTERS/Ranu Abhelakh (SURINAME - Tags: RELIGION SOCIETY)

A llama stands next to a cactus growing on Incahuasi Island above the Uyuni salt lake, which holds the world's largest reserve of lithium, located at 3,656 meters (11,995 ft) above sea level in southwestern Bolivia, November 7, 2012. Argentina, Chile and Bolivia hold the planet's largest reserves of lithium, the world's lightest metal and a key component in batteries used to power a range of technologies from cell phones to laptops to electric cars. Industrial production from countries in this so-called 'lithium triangle' is already high. Chile is the world's leading source of the metal, turning out around 40 percent of global supply, and Argentina is also a significant producer. Output from the Andes may soon rise after Bolivia - the country that holds an estimated 50 percent of the world's lithium reserves - opened its first lithium pilot plant in January.

Overview of a mining camp on the Salar del Hombre Muerto, or Dead Man's Salt Flat, an important source of lithium at around 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) above sea level on the border of the northern Argentine provinces of Catamarca and Salta, October 28, 2012. Argentina, Chile and Bolivia hold the planet's largest reserves of lithium, the world's lightest metal and a key component in batteries used to power a range of technologies from cell phones to laptops to electric cars. Industrial production from countries in this so-called "lithium triangle" is already high. Chile is the world's leading source of the metal, turning out around 40 percent of global supply, and Argentina is also a significant producer. Output from the Andes may soon rise after Bolivia - the country that holds an estimated 50 percent of the world's lithium reserves - opened its first lithium pilot plant in January.

Matevz Lenarcic drinks coffee in front of his plane after landing in Brnik Airport April 19, 2012. Biologist and environmentalist Lenarcic set off on January 9 on a journey around the world in an ultra-light aircraft. He aims to break the records for the lightest aircraft and the least amount of fuel used to fly around the world, while raising awareness of global air pollution. Lenarcic flew the Virus SW914 ultra-light single-engine airplane produced by Slovenian company Pipistrel. The aircraft is a modified version of one of their earlier models which won awards in NASA-sponsored competitions for its exceptional fuel efficiency in 2007 and 2008.
