science in context, art history and some puzzles to solve

Box turtles are so-called because they can completely close up their shell, much like a box.

There is a 'hinge' located on the plastron, or the lower part of the shell, that allows for total closure

There is a place in Greece where rock pillars rear up into the clouds from the plains

There are monasteries on these inaccessable peaks, built between the 13th and 15th centuries

These are the Meteora monasteries
