Cumberland Log Cabin Kit from $16,348

Image
1. While many people around the world are looking for a more sustainable form of building houses, there is a way that has been around for centuries that we can still use today! Take this gorgeous log cabin for example, this log home would be the perfect home for the whole family. The wonderful thing about log homes is that they have so many benefits over conventional dry wall homes. 2. Log homes and cabins are very sustainable, as they are made from renewable materials that come from the Earth. Most of the logs used to build these log homes and cabins come from sustainable tree plantations, where the trees are used for their wood, and then more are planted in their place to grow into more trees for more logs. This is a better way of going about this process, rather than just chopping down any tree, so that we can keep the ancient growth forests alive, with their habitats thriving. 3.

These Islands Are Above The Arctic Circle, But They're Warm And Gorgeous All Year Long

Image
The islands of Lofoten in Norway are known for two things: Their stunning beauty, and their relatively warm temperatures. Lofoten is above the Arctic Circle, yet its average temperature is above freezing all year. Steffen Schnur/Moment/Getty Images Lofoten is a grouping of islands in northwest Norway. It's known for its stunning cliffs, calm inlets and idyllic seaside fishing towns. Antony Spencer/Vetta/Getty Images Because Lofoten is above the Arctic Circle, in summer the nights are really long, and in winter they're really short. In fact, the sun never sets between May 25th to July 17th, and it never rises between December 4th and January 7th. Colin Weston/Stockbyte/Getty Images    Despite these extremes in daylight, Lofoten has a very temperate climate. That's thanks to the gulf stream, which pushes warm air across the Atlantic and up the coast of Norway. Lofoten has the greatest positive temperature difference in the world, relative to latitude. Lofoten is high above th...

We live in a beautiful, vast world full of wonders we have yet to discover. For most of us, the only exposure we will have to these wonders is through the shared experiences of those around us.

6 Drivers You Don't Want To Share The Road With

Image
When you think about it, it's amazing that we as humans have adapted to driving at all. The idea that an average citizen can be trusted with a metal box capable of traveling over 100 miles an hour would boggle the minds of our ancestors, but it's taken for granted today. Yet for some people, that level of comfort can turn into something more dangerous: carelessness. Whether they're drinking, texting or just not paying attention to their surroundings, people who don't take driving seriously can threaten their own safety and that of others. So, for the next time you're wondering why there are so many PSAs about impaired or distracted driving, here are 16 reminders. 1.

The absence of light has only made it more challenging. #5. New Creatures To make its existence creepier, the team also discovered different species of arthropods living its life in darkness.
