| On November 1, 1911, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott departed from Cape Evans on his Terra Nova Expedition, trying to become the first man to reach the South Pole. But the captain and his companions never returned to camp—they died on the return journey after having been beaten to the pole by Amundsen. |

| His hut, and that of Ernest Shackleton, who made the same expedition three years before and three years after, are time capsules, their contents remarkably preserved in the extreme cold. |

 Far beyond the range of human hearing, and deep beneath your feet, the planet is singing, a deep and perpetual coloratura that has long puzzled scientists. Like whale song that rings across innumerable fathoms, the Earth’s voice is only able to be heard through specialized instruments - in this case, seismometers. Now, scientists are discovering that it is far more complex than previously thought. Researcher’s call it the Earth’s Hum. [ via geeklikeme ] This does not explain the mysterious hum that is within the range of some human’s hearing. From Taos, New Mexico, to Kokomo, Indiana, to Vancouver, Canada, to Bristol, England, some strange vibration is reaching into the heads of certain individuals, while others remain completely oblivious. While Terra is still warming up her pipes, Saturn has gotten a band together and is booking club gigs from Mallorca to San Francisco. [ via whatever ] |

| I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things, The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains: round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away. ~Shelley |

| “Four hundred million years after bushwhacking its own evolutionary path out of the Cambrian, the mantis shrimp is one of the world’s freakiest animals. How freaky? Well, it sees something called circular polarized light – a form of light that no other creature on Earth can perceive.” |
