This is what your unemployed friend is up to on a random Tuesday night 😅 Back in 2023, a Florida man was arrested after attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a homemade floating contraption that basically looked like a giant hamster wheel. Coast Guard officials spotted him 70 miles off the Georgia coast, gearing up for a “jog to London,” and quickly declared the vessel “manifestly unsafe.” Built from buoys, metal bars, and wiring, the so-called “hydro pod” was meant to be powered by—wait for it—running inside of it. He refused to abandon ship, which led to the arrest. And here’s the wild part: it wasn’t even his first try. He’d attempted similar crossings in 2014, 2016, and 2021, all stopped for safety concerns. He said his bizarre voyages were meant to raise awareness for causes like homelessness and even the Coast Guard itself. ❤️ #viral #florida #coastguard #news

Hundreds of reindeer were recently captured making their dramatic swim across a fjord in northern Norway — an annual migration that’s as breathtaking as it is ancient. Guided by Sámi herders from a small boat, the animals follow the sound of a ringing bell that leads them safely through the icy water toward their winter grazing lands. Reindeer are built for moments like this: their hollow, buoyant fur keeps them afloat, and they can power through long stretches of open water with surprising speed. This crossing isn’t just a rare spectacle — it’s a living tradition, repeated year after year as the herd follows the same ancestral route across the Arctic landscape. Photos by: @jeresssss

Utqiaġvik, Alaska has officially entered its long polar night. The sun slipped below the horizon on November 18, 2025 — and it won’t rise again until around January 22, 2026. Located at the very top of the United States, Utqiaġvik spends about 65 days each winter in complete sunless darkness, a result of Earth’s axial tilt pushing the Arctic Circle into continuous night. Even without a sunrise, the town still gets a few hours of deep blue twilight each day, creating that surreal, icy glow locals know well. 🌌 For the Iñupiat community who’ve lived here for thousands of years, the polar night is a normal and meaningful part of the seasonal cycle — a time of quiet, tradition, and deep winter weather as temperatures plunge and sea ice grows. 🌚

Scientists in Florida are taking lightning research to the next level — literally launching rockets into storm clouds to watch how bolts form. Each rocket trails a thin copper wire, creating a pathway for lightning to follow. When a strike hits, the wire superheats and bursts into brilliant blue-green light, while powerful winds twist the bright white bolts into surreal shapes. The result? Rare, almost cinematic footage that reveals just how wild and unpredictable our atmosphere can be. Via: @uflorida #weather #lightning #photography #florida #explore #viral

The @belmondandeanexplorer is a luxury train that winds through some of the most breathtaking scenery in Peru — every window feels like a moving postcard. It’s the kind of setting that begs for a brand to shoot a full lookbook or campaign onboard. Photos via: @belmondandeanexplorer
