Diving in Lake Neuchâtel, Fabien Langenegger and Julien Pfyffer made a spectacular discovery from the Roman Empire. “At first, we both cautiously approached this pile of circles, which could have been a depot of mines left behind from the Second World War.

Looking at some broken plates, we realised that this find was extraordinary.” This is how Julien Pfyffer of Swiss NGO Octopus Foundation describes the discovery…

But polls have also diverged significantly and in Hungary’s electoral system, vote shares…
For years, sailing through Tracy Arm in southeast Alaska has been a highlight of many cruise itineraries, drawing visitors with its dramatic fjord landscapes and active glaciers that calve into icy waters. The narrow passage, framed by rugged wilderness, has long been considered one of the region’s most scenic cruising experiences. However, this season several major cruise lines are choosing to bypass the route. The decision follows a massive landslide last summer, when a large section of a glacier collapsed into the fjord, triggering a tsunami that sent waves surging high up the opposing mountainside. The event raised concerns about…
