 The Ancient Egypt Site - The Western Massif and Galleries of Netjerikhet's Funerary Complex
This means that either the western massif belonged to an earlier building-stage of the Netjerikhet Complex, or that it predates it all together.
The western massif is in fact composed of three long, narrow structures: an eastern and a western flat-roofed massif flanking a central one that is substantially higher and had a rounded roof.
The filling material of these massifs appears for a large part to have come from the substructure, making it likely that the sub- and superstructures were also built at the same time.

 The Himalayas - Arunachal Himalayas - Kangto Massif
Visible from the distant plains of Assam and the Meghalaya hills, from where it was observed, the high range of the Kangto Massif lies in a gigantic S-curve running roughly west-southwest and east- northeast between the passes of Tulung La and Keshong La in the region.
However, its height is disputed, and it might well be no higher than 5,800 m rather than the 6,655 m which is the official figure.
It is the Kangto Massif which traps the rain bearing monsoon clouds and the resulting water forms Kameng -- a major river and one of the main tributaries of the Dihang, which is the name by which the Brahmaputra River is known in the region.

 Lost City Expedition: The Atlantis Massif
The Lost City Vent Field stands on top of a very peculiar mountain on the seafloor called the Atlantis Massif ("massif" is a name for a very large mass of rock).
These are probably giant scratch marks that hint that the top of the massif is a giant fault zone formed as masses of the Earth slid past one another.
These pieces of evidence suggest to us that the rocks that make up the Atlantis Massif once formed under the rift valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge a few miles away, but were pulled out from under the rocks at the surface- like pulling a rug out from under a piece of furniture.

 Valgrind
Note that because Massif slows a program down a lot, the actual spacetime figure is fairly meaningless; it's the relative values that are interesting.
The time on the x-axis is wallclock time, which is not ideal because you can get different graphs for different executions of the same program, due to random OS delays.
Massif takes censuses at an appropriate timescale; censuses take place less frequently as the program runs for longer.

 Lost City Expedition: The Rocks That Make up the Atlantis Massif
To understand what an amazing > 2 million history this massif has experienced we must first learn a bit about what the names of the rocks are and how they are formed, altered and aged as they move up and away from the spreading axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Harzburgites: From looking at the mantle rocks we recovered from the Atlantis Massif, we see that they are made up of about 10-15% diopside, and 85-90% olivine, with a little bit of chromite.
We have also discovered that these rocks are very rich in magnesium, but also contain a little bit of silica, calcium, and iron (and other trace metals and chemicals).
