Black Sand Beach, Iceland

The fantastic black sand and pebble beach near the town of Vik I Myrdal, the southernmost settlement in Iceland. This sand originated from the basalt lava that covers much of the area. Because black sand isn’t routinely replenished like most beach sand when storms and tides wash the sand away, black sand beaches tend not to endure very long. The geology of Iceland is comparatively young -- it owes its existence to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that splits the island in half. Volcanoes along the ridge, such as Katla, erupt with some regularity continuing to add surface area and mass to the “land of ice and fire” and to augment the black sand beaches.

Denmark and Sweden Connected by Oresund Bridge

The Øresund Bridge is one of Europe's most amazing infrastructure projects, connecting Denmark and Sweden permanently over the Øresund Strait. The link, which opened on July 1, 2000, connects the Copenhagen area in Denmark to Malmö and the greater Skåne region of Sweden. The Øresund connection is not just a bridge but a combination of a bridge, an artificial island, and an underwater tunnel in one continuous transport route.

The Øresund Bridge creates a remarkable connection between Denmark and Sweden.

Silfra Crack | The rift between two Continents

The Silfra crack, or fissure, is a rift that forms part of a divergent tectonic boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Diving down the Silfra crack allows divers to be able to swim between continents and actually touch two tectonic plates at the same time. These two tectonic plates drift apart roughly 2 cm per year. The Silfra crack is located at the rim of Þingvallavatn Lake, which is within Thingvellir (Þingvellir) National Park, South Iceland.

Salinas Grandes: Argentina's White Salt Desert

Few landscapes on Earth feel as otherworldly as Salinas Grandes. Set high in the Argentine Andes, the cracked, blinding-white salt flat stretches to the horizon in every direction, framed by jagged brown peaks and a sky so blue it looks painted on. It's one of South America's most photographed natural wonders, a magnet for travellers chasing the same surreal, mirror-like scenery made famous by Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni — and it has a story that goes well beyond the postcard.

The hexagonal salt crust of Salinas Grandes stretches toward the Andes in Jujuy province, Argentina.

Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano, Tanzania

Ol Doinyo Lengai, "Mountain of God" in the Maasai language, is located in northern Tanzania near Lake Natron and is part of the volcanic system of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa. Altitude: 2962 m. The volcano is located in a part of the fault zone, which is called Grid Sikes, where, as expected, the crust is particularly thin. This is one of the most unusual volcanoes in the world. It is the only one that spews natrocarbonatite lava.

Super Bike | Bienville Legacy

The Legacy is the first commission by the American Design and Master-Craft Initiative (ADMCI)and created by Nesbitt's New Orleans-based Bienville Studios. The design has been on the table for nearly a decade, but work has been underway for the past two years, culminating in what Nesbitt describes as "an entirely new vehicle, reinventing how motorcycles function from the ground up."

Unlike the original, work on the building took only five years. Ahsanullah Moni, a wealthy Bangladeshi filmmaker, announced his 'Copycat version of the Taj Mahal' project in December 2008. 

Extraction of Mammoth tusks in Siberia

About 10 thousand years ago, shaggy giants called mammoths inhabited northern Siberia. Now, an extinct genus of mammals was affected by the rise in temperature at the end of the last Ice Age, and Ancient hunters killed woolly mammoths for their meat, which resulted in their habitat being flooded and reduced. Animals caught in limbo on an isolated island, with no chance of returning to the mainland. Some populations, which had adapted to these land areas to the east and north of Siberia, delayed their extinction and became extinct about 3,700 years ago.
