Massive Dust Devils Leave Their Mark Across...

November 5, 2021

In an unforgiving landscape of rock and dust beneath a broiling sun, they appear on the horizon. The pale, undulating figures take a serpentine course across a bleak and barren world. And then, with a final spectral whirl, they’re gone. Long a tool of cinematographers to signal inhospitable, sweltering deserts, dust devils are not limited to the hotter corners of our planet. They can occur anywhere that’s dry and sunny enough, and have been recorded from Antarctica to Iceland....

Twin Poplars in Lenoir, North Carolina

November 5, 2021

Local legend has it that over 280 years ago, the Catawba and the Cherokee were locked in a brutal and savage conflict in the smoky hills around what is now Lenoir, North Carolina. So many warriors were killed on both sides that the leaders came together to talk peace, not as victor over vanquished, but as equals. Distrust and enmity were conquered and peace was made—at least temporarily. The symbol of that peace would be two trees and their...

Jen Library Bee in Savannah, Georgia

November 5, 2021

Savannah is already a pretty funky city. Overflowing with colorful residents, celebrating bachelorettes, and wildly creative art students, the city’s reputation as an energetic and imaginative place is well-earned. Overflowing with personality, there’s an abundance of things to see in the Hostess City of the South, but most people chose to start with Leopold’s Ice Cream. Located right on Savannah’s main drag, Leopold’s is best known not for its actual desserts, but the unbelievably long line that stretches from...

One Man's Quest to Preserve the World's...

November 5, 2021

The world’s smallest oil refinery sits on the side of the road just outside of Lusk, Wyoming, a windswept prairie town, population 1,558. A half a world away in Islamabad, Pakistan, its owner, Zahir Khalid, works to keep the tiny industrial site from literally blowing away. Khalid purchased the C&H Refinery in 1998 after learning it was for sale on an early Yahoo chat room. A devout Muslim, Khalid has the military bearing and discipline from his former life...

Garden Island Ship's Graveyard in Garden Island,...

November 5, 2021

These vessels were abandoned during the early 20th-century and offer a unique exploration opportunity. Canoe tours are regularly available from the Garden Island ramp including boats and dinghies. Located in the waters is the wooden hull of the six-masted sailing schooner known as the Dorothy H Sterling located in the middle of the channel. Close to the shore is the hull of the Santiago. The highlight of this ship graveyard is a collection close to the shore near the Torrens...

Church of San Bernardino in Lallio,...

November 5, 2021

In 1450, Eustacchio Licini, a non-ordained friar also known as Cacciaguerra, ordered the construction of the Church of San Bernardino of Siena in Lallio. He envisioned the countless frescoes decorating the interior as the centerpiece of the church. Around the mid-16th century, Cristoforo Baschenis the Elder, a renowned painter from Bergamo, was called upon to create a set of frescoes depicting the life of San Bernardino on the walls of the third section of the church. The imagery and accompanying...

Aluminum Airplane in Oviedo, Florida

November 5, 2021

This aluminum airplane is reminiscent of the World War II-era Flying Tigers of the 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG). The shark mouth was based on an original painting on a Luftwaffe’s ZG heavy fighter wing, which was part of the Messerschmitt Bf 110s. Later, this design was used by the Allied fighter squads, such as the Flying Tigers. Allegedly, the squadrons saw a picture of the No. 112 Squadron’s P-40s, which flew for the Royal Air Force, and adopted their logo. This plane...

Petrified Wood Gas Station in Decatur, Texas

November 4, 2021

No, there is no gas here. But back in 1927, E.F. Boydston built it as a gas station. Later, he decided to cover its exterior with chunks of petrified wood, perhaps inspired by a similar gas station in Colorado, or by Petrified Wood Park in South Dakota. Boydston covered the walls of his next-door cafe and tourist cabins as well. (One of the motor court cabins was supposedly rented by Bonnie and Clyde a couple of weeks before they...

Watecha Bowl in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

November 4, 2021

Diners were lining up to try Lawrence West’s Indian tacos for more than a year before the chef opened up his restaurant on West Madison Street in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Watecha Bowl started out as a roving food truck serving the kind of comfort food that West grew up eating as a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. Watecha means “leftovers,” but is often used colloquially to simply refer to food. In an interview with SiouxFalls Business, West...

The Evolutionary Quirk That Allows Antarctica's Icefish...

November 4, 2021

This story is excerpted and adapted from Bill Schutt’s PUMP: A Natural History of the Heart, published in September 2021 by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill. All rights reserved. Winter is coming, and when it arrives, most organisms can’t simply throw down the snow shovel and head for their warm homes. Many have evolved unique mechanisms to deal with exposure to cold temperatures and the stresses that accompany them. For warm-blooded species, including those that do wield snow shovels,...

The Greatest Unsolved Heist in Irish History

November 4, 2021

Dublin, 1907. Arthur Vicars was 45 years old in July 1907, just a few weeks from his birthday. His entire life at the time was wrapped up in his job as Ulster King of Arms. This put him in charge of the rules and regulations regarding heraldry and family trees—a very important position in early-20th-century Ireland: He was the arbiter of inheritance. “Most land, power, and wealth were vested in the hands of the aristocracy,” says William Derham, a...

The Scarista Bus in Isle of Harris,...

November 4, 2021

On the verdant green machair, beside the golden sands of Scarista Beach, sits a decaying old bus with a rather unusual tale to tell. For those who investigate, it quickly becomes apparent that this is no ordinary abandoned hulk. It was once a home from home, a place of adventure where memories were made and stories told. This particular story starts in January 2005, when a ferocious storm battered the coastline. The hurricane-force winds destroyed a caravan used by...

Turf Tutorial: Urban Naturalism

November 4, 2021

Did you know that there’s a dormant volcano sitting in the middle of Portland, Oregon? Or that there’s a neighborhood in Seattle built around a massive boulder, transported there from Canada by glaciers during the last ice age? Urban environments hold all kinds of unique natural phenomena like this and offer some of the most accessible outdoor and earth science wonders that anyone can discover. As a field geologist and wetlands scientist that often works in urban environments, I...

Turf Tutorial: Foraging

November 4, 2021

My formal herbalism and foraging training began in New York City where I was filled with purpose, but starved for nature. Though it may seem like a strange place to dive in, it makes perfect sense in retrospect. There was a gift in needing to connect where there was less; I paid close attention. When I began to notice, really notice, the beauty of so-called weeds that grew through the cracks in the sidewalk and learned about their ecological...
