Malartic Mine in Malartic, Québec

January 11, 2022

The Canadian town of Malartic is inexorably linked to the mining industry. The earliest surveys revealing the presence of gold deposits date back to 1923. Soon after, in 1929, the town of Malartic was founded. And in 1935, the first underground exploitation started. Canadian Malartic Gold Mines Ltd provided the first infrastructure in the company-owned village, but after the first influx of workers, this arrangement was impractical, and an actual town started developing. By 1939, three more mining companies...

Iolaire Memorial in Outer Hebrides, Scotland

January 10, 2022

November 1918 is widely considered the end of World War I. Memorials in the United Kingdom normally recognize this year in commemoration of the event, although this is not the case in the Outer Hebrides. Across the islands, 1919 is seen as the end of the war due to the sinking of the HMY Iolaire in January of that year. The Outer Hebrides were particularly affected by the global conflict, as no other area of the United Kingdom saw...

Discovering the Unexpected Wonder of Mumbai's Coastal...

January 10, 2022

Bright pink flamingos saunter through shallows, some pausing to nibble algae and tiny invertebrates near the surface. The birds’ movement creates small ripples in the reflection of mustard-yellow apartment buildings rising behind them. In another image, shot at night, bioluminescent soft corals glow an otherworldly blue in the shadow of an urban skyline. For Mumbai-born photographer Sarang Naik, these shots capture “life just quietly going along” in and around a city of 20 million. Naik’s surprising, wondrous images of...

8th Avenue Reservoir in Nashville, Tennessee

January 10, 2022

On a prominent hill visible from much of downtown Nashville, a stone reservoir with a capacity of 51 million gallons peeks above the surrounding tree-filled park. Completed in 1889, currently only used at half capacity but still the largest such serving Nashville. Many passersby see it daily yet few are aware that it was the site of a major disaster. Just after midnight on the 5th of November, 1912, the ground under the base of the reservoir’s 22-foot thick wall...

Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren (The Tower of Our...

January 10, 2022

One can’t help but marvel at the tower of Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren (The Tower of Our Lady). Standing at a staggering 98.33 meters (322 feet), it looms high above Amersfoort. Indeed, you may see it sometimes peeking above buildings as you take a walk around the city. Completed in approximately 1470, the tower wasn’t always alone. As you walk through Lieve Vrouwekerkhof, you may see where the foundations of the original church once stood, marked into the square. (The...

The Blue Polykatoikia in Athens, Greece

January 10, 2022

The central Athens district of Exarcheia was formally established in the 1870s. It began as a labor settlement, and by 1910 it was a thriving middle-class neighborhood with a nice mix of businesses and residences. In the 1920s, Kostis Antonopoulos purchased land in the area with the goal of building large, modern multi-family housing. Antonopoulos and his family owned a large construction company and had experience with large projects. Antonopoulos hired two men to assist him with the project:...

The Annual Airlift Saving Sea Turtles Stranded...

January 10, 2022

This story originally appeared in bioGraphic, an online magazine about nature and sustainability powered by the California Academy of Sciences. Sea turtles appear to fly as they swim beneath ocean waves. With long, gray-green flippers that move like slow wingbeats, they glide through the water as birds do through the sky. Actually flying through the air, though, at 10,000 feet above the ground, the reptiles seem anything but graceful. Inside the airplane, 120 sea turtles, 118 of which are...

Taste of the Tropics USA in Brooklyn,...

January 8, 2022

It started life as a Dairy Queen, but when Jerry and Richard Zirino took over the ice cream shop on the corner of Avenue D and Nostrand Avenue in 1975, they had something slightly different in mind. The partners started asking their customers what flavors they wanted to see. Since that part of East Flatbush had—and continues to have—a large West Indian population (the neighborhood has been called “Little Caribbean”), the customers resoundingly voted for tropical flavors they missed...

Brauerei Hofstetten in Adsdorf, Austria

January 7, 2022

At this fifth-generation, family-owned brewery, the beer has a not-so-secret ingredient: rocks. Not just any rocks, but hunks of granite heated in a roaring open fire. Once the stones glow dull red, the brewer carefully extracts them from the flames and adds them to 120-year-old granite vats. The white-hot granite caramelizes the malt sugars in the wort, lending a pleasantly toasty flavor to the finished Steinbier (literally “rock beer”). Steinbier is hardly a new invention. Until the end of...
