Nature always endures. Every war has its end. No matter what people do, Earth and Time will find their ways to fix the damage. Besides, everything belongs to Nature, and ultimately everything goes back to Nature. And eventually, the shape and form of deadly machines become part of landscapes. Those leftovers and reminders of war can be found all over the world – in deep oceans, wild jungles, plains, arid islands… and even in Antarctica!
