A little help in prioritizing your travel never hurts; that's why this list of the World Monument Watch's 100 Most Endangered Sites (via Kottke) is just peachy. Forget Disney World--a site we wish was endangered--and instead head to, oh, Helsinki's Malmi Airport. It was the second largest airport in Europe in 1936, with a hangar that could fit six whole aircraft, and now it may be demolished for a housing  project.

No sale? What about the Segovia Aqueduct in Spain? Built in 50 A.D., it's a UNESCO World Heritage site, and yet...the Spanish aren't taking very good care of it, failing to repair damage from water and bat nesting. Always watch out for the bat nesting.

And if that doesn't interest you, there's always the entire country of Iraq, which made the list as a single entry. It won't be long now before cheap flights to Kirkurk start to appear...
