50 Photos So Interesting They Feel Illegal To Look At Without Protective Eyewear

It helps living on a volcano.

In USA we're in the 1800s.

Minneapolis did this in the 1990s, or so. Hennepin ave. They also did skywalks so you could go about a mile without having to wear a coat.

Not really. They simply know how to use resources wisely.

.... and on a volcano. That second part helps far more.

Necessity is the mother of invention

Or...we others are stuck in the past...

Remember when the meme "in the future" said 2030?? 🤯

Nah. Everyone else is living in the past.

Once the average temperature in Iceland goes over 50°C in a few years, what will they do with all these pipes?

Instead we get snow plows that wait until we finish shovelling to bury our driveways back in

That's the beauty of the EU

I've never needed a passport to play musical chairs...

Today I learned the English word(s) for 'Hela havet stormar' (The whole sea is storming).

He's a dangerous baby who's dismantling our government.

Bears can swim, but even so, over the long term, I doubt he'll keep up with a ship. And odds are the porthole will be kept dogged shut.

it's a vessel. meaning it will be gone the next day. probably were just passing some pack ice

I had the same question. This looks like a horrible idea

Vessel not house.

It's a vessel....vessels move.

Maybe they're researching bears.

First thing: polar bears go where they like and eat what they like. Second thing: that's a ship. It'll soon be gone. Third thing: polar bears are very intelligent - bright enough to figure out that just because you got a fish from a porthole one time, doesn't mean you will the next, especially since most ships pass by without stopping. And finally, polar bears might well be terrifying creatures, but they've not evolved claws that can rip through the side of an ocean-going ship, especially not one that can cope with ice-infested Arctic waters.

I think the whole point of the window is to be able to interact with the bear while being able to stay far enough away that he can't get you.

I mean..."researcher," and, "vessel" lead me to believe that person knows more about that than you or I, and will also not be there in a few hours.

Maybe the bear was making a delivery.

If they were driving a car through Yellowstone and feeding potato chips to a grizzly, then yes it is a very bad idea. They are on a boat in the Arctic, one of the most inhospitable places on earth, dealing with a polar bear in a port hole. Still bad, but they don't have too many choices at this point.

Quite possibly, but that's a ship which (hopefully) won't be there long enough for Bear to associate "hole in extra-hard wall" with Food.

It's a ship. It will move away

It's a vessel, not staying put.

That is absolutely a good thing. Look at that cutie.

It's not illegal to k**l and eat a polar bear in international territory... Shh!!! 🤫

Considering they're on a boat... when and if it returns, won't be anything there.

I think I'd care more about placating the bear, as opposed to worrying about conditioning then to seek food from humans.

Ultimately yes but it could be semi domesticated at this point. I say semi because even every well trained animal is still a beast at heart.

Man just tryin' to get a polar bear henchman.

Correctg, he should know better. May end up with them having to exterminate the poor bear.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels this way!

Yes! Poor thing, was swimming I don't know for how long by then (and how long more)

Definitely
