These Amazing Striped Icebergs in Antarctica Look Like Candy

They might look like candy, but the stripes are actually salty. Photo: Oyvind Tangen Icebergs form when large blocks of ice break off a glacier or an ice shelf and are floating freely in open water.

48 Pics That Show Just How Hard The Dangerous Winter Storm Hit North America

The Christmas weekend was full of chaos and danger in some parts of North America. A massive winter storm hit the United States and Canada. Dozens of people have lost their lives.

One of the places that was the most hard-hit was Buffalo, a city of 277k in the Western part of the state of New York. Bored Panda has collec

This House Built on Extremely Steep Swiss Mountain is Just Incredible

This house was built on impossible terrain at a height of 4003 meters (13133 feet) in Switzerland in 1915. I wonder what technique was used to get it all up there, above the clouds… Solvay Hut is located on a slope of one of the most famous mountains in the Alps – Matterhorn. Its windows offer a spectacular view, which is kind of reward for anyone who manages to reach it. o

3,000-Year-Old World’s Oldest Olive Tree on the Island of Crete Still Produces Olives Today

One day about 3,000 years ago, at a time when the Minoan civilization still ruled over Crete and long before the rise of Classical Greece, an olive fell to the ground in the area of Vouves. Or perhaps it was deliberately planted there by a human hand. Whichever the case, that olive seed sprouted and grew into a tree. And incredibly that tree is still alive today – and still producing frui

Heartbroken Mother Dolphin Won’t Let Go Of Her Baby’s Body

Michael McCarthy was canoeing through the Intracoastal Waterway near St. Petersburg, Florida, when he spotted the familiar flash of silver in the water ahead of him. A dolphin was swimming nearby, and she appeared to be cradling a small, limp body. At first, McCarthy thought the dolphin had just caught her dinner, but as he watched, a heartbreaking scene unfurled before him. TWITTER/SEET

World’s Largest Fish Nesting Ground With 60 Million Nests Discovered Under Antarctic ice

The unexpected find is way larger than any other known colony of fish nests found so far. The ice babies in the nests may soon get their own marine protected area. Image credit: Alfred Wegener Institute, PS124 OFOBS Team The fact that we know less about the ocean floor than we do about the surface of the Moon doesn’t make this incredible find any less surprising. Five hundred meters below th

With their rather suggestive shape and impressive weight of about 25kg (55 lbs), the seeds of the double coconut, or coco-de-mer, measure up to half a metre long. This type of palm, Lodoicea maldivica, is the sole species in its family that’s

Mars is Alive! NASA Detects Unusual Activity From Inside The Planet

It turned out that Mars wasn't as silent as first believed. Instead, there is intense seismic activity on the red planet, which is rumbling and groaning. The planet is experiencing dynamic shocks deep below its surface, and right now, molten lava may be pouring just below the Martian crust. If it is true, it will alter our knowledge of Martian geodynamics that we have amassed over the
