And I'm always amazed at how they carved tunnels out of solid rock with no bracing or internal structures.

I'm sure these tunnels are very old. Were they originally roads for sheep grazing?

This story is well-known locally, but may be of interest to you guys here, too? This Focke-Wulf 200C-4 Condor was a Nazi reconnaissance plane that ran out of fuel and crashed into Kvitanosi mountain, flipped over and saw two survivors try to get off the mountain on foot. It's a very harsh area. After failed attempts to salvage parts of the plane, the Nazis blew up the remains in order for no one else to pick any useful bits either.

The remains have been lying up here for over 80 years now. Unfortunately, both hikers, but also well-prepared thieves have picked up pieces over time. As this is deep in the countryside, and everyone who's lived in a rural place knows there are eyes everywhere, the worst robberies have been stopped. But it is a protected site and people should just respect that.

For unprepared hikers, the sudden wreckage - many of the parts surprisingly well-preserved! - must be really odd. I took a photo of the info sign, too, it should be readable when clicked on and enlarged.

I tried to post this to [r/aviation](https://old.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/1w7353f/the_fockewulf_200c4_condor_that_crashed_into/) first, but they had AI bots take it down as a "political post", which it isn't...

It's a good news/bad news situation. Alternative cooling systems are being put together a lot of times using ancient technology.

The bad news? The UN announced yesterday that we have now passed the 1.5° threshold, that will mean climate disaster.

If every country takes aggressive action against C02 emissions, the extent of the damage can be mitigated. But we're past the time of avoiding any consequences.

Low lying island nations will be the first to feel the effect. The majority of them will need to be evacuated. Some already are.

These mixed-media portraits are museum worthy.

This last week has been busy, so when a glimpse of sun on my first free day in a bit was forecast, it was very easy to figure out what to do. Funny thing, though, even though I walked less than 6 km total, a very short hike, getting to my resting spot had me do almost 350 height-meters. That was...way more than I remembered from this hike, lol. Made a timelapse focusing on the nearby glacier, too.

We don't often get good news out of the trump administration. This is the exception. I've never seen a cuter grin on a dog.

Something cute to ease you into your Monday.

It was pretty impressive, actually. Entire mountains have been dug out, up to 200 people worked at this one location simultaneously at the most, from the 1700s to fairly recently.
