10 years of ‘Into the Glacier’: Iceland’s one-of-a-kind ice tunnel experience

It started as an ambitious idea—dig a tunnel deep into Iceland’s second-largest glacier and create an experience unlike anything else in the world. Ten years later, Into the Glacier has welcomed over 320,000 visitors, hosted underground concerts, survived floods and pandemics, and proven that even after a decade, it’s still one of Iceland’s coolest adventures. Opened in 2015 after 14 months of excavation, the 500-meter (1,640-foot) ice tunnel inside Langjökull Glacier remains the largest of its kind in the world. Visitors descend 25 meters (82 feet) beneath the surface to walk through blue ice corridors that are, in some places, 30 to 35 years old. During construction, 5,500 cubic meters (194,000 cubic feet) of ice were removed—just a ti...

First easing of retail alcohol sales rules, Direct sales will be capped, Fears change could lead to end of state monopoly If Anna Anerfalt gets a license to sell gin, whiskey and schnapps to visitors at her family's distillery near Norrtalje in Sweden, the first thing she will have to do is warn them of the dangers of alcohol. From June 1, small-scale breweries, vineyards and distilleries will be able to sell direct to customers - the first easing of Sweden's more than 100 year-old alcohol sales monopoly.

In Ukraine’s Kharkiv, ballet offers ‘rebirth’ after bombs and bullets

In the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, it’s hard to escape the war with Russia. On some days, when the wind blows in the right direction, residents of the historic city can hear the boom of artillery fire from the front line, some 30 km (20 miles) away. Most nights, Russian kamikaze drones packed with explosives buzz over apartment buildings as parents put their children to bed. Frequently - but unpredictably - a Russian ballistic missile will slam into the city. Three years on from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, for many people in Kharkiv, the war and its unrelenting, inescapable proximity, takes a mental toll. Ballet dancers practise for the revival of 'Chopiniana,' the first since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, in the underground area of the National Aca...

Chic neighbourhoods, quirky museums and foodie havens in Paris

Like most Parisians, I’m a transplant from elsewhere — specifically sunny Provence, where it's practically a civic duty to cheer for the rival football team, Olympique de Marseille, and complain about the haughty residents of the French capital. But as the French actor Sacha Guitry once said, “Being a Parisian is not about being born in Paris; it's about being reborn there.” I first moved to Paris in my early twenties and, like many before me, was immediately enthralled by the city. But Paris felt like a sleeping beauty in the early 2000s: the economy was stagnant, unemployment was high, and losing the 2012 Olympic bid to London made it feel as though the future was being written elsewhere. By the time I returned to the city in 2012 as an energy correspondent for Reuters following stin...

The Moonhouse - A Swedish Red Cottage is about to make history History is about to be made. On June 5 at 09:24 PM CET, a tiny red house — a traditional Swedish cottage — is set to become the first house ever to land on the Moon. After traveling through space for more than four months aboard the Japanese lunar lander RESILIENCE, the artwork known as The Moonhouse now enters its most critical phase: a soft landing in Mare Frigoris — the Sea of Cold.
