Highway in Death Valley National Park, USA 🇺🇸
Death Valley National Park, located in eastern California and partially extending into Nevada, is known for its extreme landscapes and unique geological features. It covers an area of about 3.4 million acres (13,650 square kilometers) within the Mojave Desert. Key features include dramatic terrain like salt flats, sand dunes, badlands, canyons, and mountain ranges. It is home to Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America at 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level. The park experiences extremely hot summers and mild winters, with temperatures reaching record highs. Major attractions include Badwater Basin, Zabriskie Point, Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Devil's Golf Course, and diverse desert wildlife such as bighorn sheep, coyotes, and kit foxes. 
Located in the state of Arizona, this remarkable rock formation is characterized by its unusual and captivating shape that appears to defy the laws of gravity. 
Looking a lot like Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, this crystal cave was only discovered 20 years ago outside Pulpi, Spain. Found beneath a silver mine, geologists quickly realized it was not exactly a cave. At 160ft deep it was determined that this egg shaped cavern was actually one of the largest geodes known to exist. The selenite crystals are believed to have started growing through a self-feeding mechanism of salt provided by dissolving calcium sulphate. Geologists have yet to date the age of the crystals…

The 17th episode of the 11th season of The Simpsons shows Lisa Simpson as the first female president of the United States, dressed similarly to Kamala Harris at Joe Biden's inauguration.
This episode, which aired in 2000, strongly suggests that real estate mogul Donald Trump became president and left behind a budget crisis for Lisa to handle.
Joe Biden dropped out today after the Democrats had no more use for him, and he has now endorsed Kamala Harris.

Navy sailors are allowed to swim in the ocean during designated events known as "swim calls." These events are a tradition where sailors can jump from the deck of their ship into the open ocean for relaxation and morale-boosting. Swim calls often occur during long deployments when the ship is in calm and safe waters. Sharpshooters and rescue boats are on standby to ensure the safety of the sailors, watching for sharks and preventing anyone from drifting too far from the ship.
The practice dates back to at least World War II and is still enjoyed by sailors today, offering a unique and memorable break from the rigors of naval service. Ships across the U.S. Navy fleet, including aircraft carriers and submarines, participate in these swim calls, providing sailors with a refreshing and enjoyable experience

A Native American 28-foot canoe, estimated to be around 1,000 years old, was recently recovered from Lake Waccamaw in southeastern North Carolina. This remarkable discovery sheds light on the rich history and advanced craftsmanship of the indigenous peoples who once inhabited the region.
Lake Waccamaw is part of the traditional lands of the Waccamaw Siouan Tribe, known as the "People of the Falling Star." The canoe's discovery is significant for both historical and cultural reasons, providing a tangible connection to the tribe's ancestors and their way of life. The craftsmanship of the canoe indicates a sophisticated understanding of woodworking and boat-building techniques, which were essential for transportation, trade, and fishing.
The process of recovering the canoe involved careful excavation and preservation efforts. Archaeologists and experts from local universities and heritage organizations collaborated to ensure the canoe was safely removed and conserved. The waterlogged state of the canoe helped preserve it over the centuries, but also required delicate handling to prevent damage during the extraction.
Once the canoe is fully preserved, it will likely be studied in greater detail to learn more about the materials and construction methods used by the Native Americans of that era. Such studies can provide valuable insights into the daily lives, trade practices, and technological advancements of the indigenous peoples.
The recovered canoe will also serve as a powerful educational tool and cultural artifact. It is expected to be displayed in a local museum or cultural center, where it can be appreciated by both the public and members of the Waccamaw Siouan Tribe. This discovery not only honors the legacy of the region’s original inhabitants but also fosters a greater understanding and appreciation of their contributions to history and culture.
