Antarctica, often considered the last pristine wilderness, is undergoing a striking transformation. Once dominated by vast stretches of ice and rock, the continent is now seeing patches of green vegetation emerge at an unprecedented rate. Recent studies reveal that warming temperatures, driven by climate change, are causing plant life—primarily mosses—to spread rapidly across the Antarctic...

Recent archaeological findings have unearthed a complex network of massive Bronze Age fortifications in Central Europe, revolutionizing our understanding of prehistoric societies. These “megaforts,” some of the largest structures of their time, offer new insights into the societal and political landscape of the region.
