The peculiar feeding behavior of Sanderlings involves chasing waves to consume invertebrate prey, which are drawn to the upper layers of sand by the plankton and detritus carried in with each wave!

If you're the type who loves books but you are so busy you hardly have time to frequent a book store, try randomly stopping at a bookstore this new year, even if it's for 10 minutes and get lost in the smell, the sound, the feel of the books so when you leave, you feel uplifted like nothing else but books can do. I'm sorry, people, but in the age of digital and audio books, there just is no replacement of seeing, smelling, or holding a real book.

A massive effort to sequence the DNA of Vikings across Europe was recently published — revealing a map of Vikings who set forth — and died — far from home:
A study published in Nature sequenced the DNA of 442 individuals from Viking Age burials across Europe, revealing compelling insights into Viking family ties, migration patterns, and cultural identities.
Led by Eske Willerslev of the University of Cambridge and the University of Copenhagen, the research offers new perspectives on the Vikings’ vast reach, showing how their influence extended from Scandinavia to as far as Greenland, Italy, and Ukraine.
Among the findings: four brothers buried together in Estonia, cousins separated by oceans in Denmark and England, and individuals buried as Vikings but with non-Scandinavian ancestry, such as Saami, Irish, and Scottish origins.
The study also challenges popular perceptions of Viking identity.
It suggests that "Viking" was often more a social role than a genetic or ethnic identity, with non-Scandinavians adopting Viking customs and being buried in Viking-style graves. DNA evidence supports sagas that suggest Vikings from specific regions had preferred destinations, with Norwegians heading to Ireland and Greenland, Danes targeting England, and Swedes exploring the Baltics and Russia.
Despite their extensive travels, genetic mixing within Scandinavia remained limited, with inland populations staying genetically distinct for centuries.

Turkey 🇹🇷
Cappadocia is famous primarily for hot air balloons, but besides this, it has a completely unique landscape.
The landscape of Cappadocia is characterized by unique cone-shaped formations of volcanic origin.
The characteristic bizarre image of Cappadocia was formed as a result of the activity of two volcanoes - Erciyes and Hasandag. This is how huge pumice rocks appeared, framed by numerous canyons.

Norway 🇳🇴
One of the most famous mountain plateaus in Norway is Kjerag, which is visited by tens of thousands of tourists every year.
The height of the mountains here reaches just over a thousand meters above sea level. This is where one of the most unusual stones in the world is located - the huge Kjeragbolten boulder!
Outwardly, the cobblestone is completely unremarkable, but its location involuntarily evokes admiration. The fact is that Kjeragbolten literally hangs over the abyss, being sandwiched between two sheer cliffs! The size of the boulder is about 5 cubic meters.
