How the Discovery of a Unique Sign...

January 18, 2023

Speaking through an interpreter on a three-way video call from a chilly Tel Aviv, Sara Lanesman, a linguist at Haifa University’s Sign Language Research Laboratory, signs with energetic motions that convey the intensity of what she felt during two formative moments of her life. The first: having to flee Algeria as a child with her family. The second: finding the country again through a sign language she didn’t know existed. Several years ago, Lanesman and her mentor, the late...

Our Favorite Abstract Wonders of 2022

December 30, 2022

It’s not hard to imagine what drove our Paleolithic ancestors to begin creating art on cave walls back in 39,000 BCE. After all, the world around us is often shockingly, even hauntingly beautiful. In our series Abstract Wonder, we explore the stories of 2022 that featured unexpected moments of beauty, captured by photographers all over the world.

Revisiting the Weird and Wonderful Nature of...

December 30, 2022

A ruthless parasite sprouting from the exoskeleton of an unfortunate fly. An egg-laying mammal—not a platypus—that uses “jazz hands” as a defensive tactic. Iguanas that have evolved to ride the waves—meriguanas, if you will. These are just a few of the fascinating organisms we shared with readers this year. Sometimes, an entire species intrigued us, such as the venomous but (relatively) docile golden lancehead viper, a critically endangered snake that lives only on one tiny Brazilian island—for now. Sometimes,...

A Year in Food Art, From the...

December 30, 2022

This year, Gastro Obscura explored some of the culinary world’s most visually-striking creations. In the hands of the right chef, raw meat can become an adorable little hedgehog, butter can be sculpted into a person’s face, and gingerbread can be transformed into New York City’s skyline. Sometimes delightful, other times disturbing, 2022 was a feast of food art.

Hull Picnic Table in Corvallis, Oregon

December 29, 2022

An ideal spot to host a large picnic, this unique table can comfortably fit 60 people (up to 100 if guests are willing to squeeze). The Hull Picnic Table is a continuous slice of an old-growth Douglas Fir that stood at the time Columbus discovered the Americas. It is one of six 85-foot lengths cut by the Hull-Oaks Timber Mill and installed as picnic tables at public parks in Oregon. In addition to this one at Avery Park in...

Yokahú Tower in Puerto Rico

December 29, 2022

Located inside El Yunque National Forest, Torre Yokahú (Yokahu Tower) is a great way to get a higher point of view of this magnificent woodland. A staircase winds through the 69-foot-tall concrete tower leading to an observation deck where, on a clear day, you can see the ocean and the top of the tree canopies. Yokahú Tower was built in 1963 at the direction of Frank H. Wadsworth, former director of the International Institute of Tropical Forestry. It sits at...

Whaligoe Steps in Whaligoe, Scotland

December 29, 2022

The Whaligoe Steps are the only access to Whaligoe Haven, an ancient harbor in the north of Scotland. The steep stairs are bounded on three sides by cliff faces that reach some 250 feet into the sky. The steps themselves are hewn into the rock, with some recent repairs to allow safe access. Around 1793, Captain David Brodie paid a local stonemason to cut stairs in the side of the cliff, to provide easier access to the harbor. The steps...

December 29, 2022

Grain silos all around the area of Ciudad Real have been transformed into huge works of art. This one in Calzada de Calatrava is by the Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel, instantly recognizable for his geometric and colorful style. It is entitled Legends from La Mancha, and is inspired by the films of Pedro Almodóvar and local legends like Don Quixote. The project includes eight silos so far and is carried out with the help of local groups and young people...

Do Americans Sing ‘Auld Lang Syne’ Because...

December 29, 2022

Guy Lombardo wasn’t thinking about tradition as the clock struck midnight in New York on New Year’s Eve 1929. He was probably thinking, as so many people were after the stock market crash that fall, about money. In front of a crowd at the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, Lombardo raised his violin bow and launched his 10-piece band, the Royal Canadians, into a sweet and soothing rendition of “Auld Lang Syne.” The revelers on the sunken dance floor...

December 29, 2022

We at Atlas Obscura start planning for Halloween early.

December 28, 2022

Just like the rest of us, celebrities have their fair share of secret obsessions. Pop singer-songwriter Kesha loves to go ghost hunting. Insecure actor and film director Sujata Day starts every morning with her masala chai. And ESPN sports presenter Selema Masekela can’t help dancing when amapiano music comes on the airwaves. Throughout 2022, as part of our new celebrity column, Secret Obsessions, some of our favorite people spilled their secrets to Associate Editor Sarah Durn. Here are some...
