Salt Harvest: Major infrastructure project launched at the Dead Sea
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: futurism
ICL’s salt ponds constitute the southern part of the Dead Sea. Many hotels and tourist attractions were built on these ponds’ shores and utilize their production of salt for the local tourism industry.

Incredible Test Flight Footage Shows Flying Sports Car Taking To The Skies
Posted by Raphael Ramos in categories: futurism, transportation
Articel from Unilad. The article contains a You Tube video as well on the car’s flight. It looks fantastic to me. To think that flight technology can be made this compact.
It’s not really like the flying car’s we see in sci-fi films, but this may be the first step. Besides, I’m not sure flying cars were practical anyway.

Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Has Begun Racing Towards Siberia
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: futurism
In 1831, the British explorer James Clark Ross determined the position of the magnetic North Pole to within a few miles for the first time. He found it on the Boothia Peninsula in Nunavut, northern Canada where he and his team camped in the “snow huts of a recently deserted Esquimaux village”.
Even then, the pole was known to move, albeit slowly. Some 70 years later, the Norwegian Amundsen rediscovered it nearby and over the next ninety years, it migrated slowly northwards at a rate of up to 15 kilometers (just over 9 miles) per year.
Then, in 1990, it suddenly began to accelerate northwards. In 2017, it passed the geographic North Pole and is now heading south towards Siberia.
