Our world is full of miracles that happen every day. Previously, only eyewitnesses knew about such miracles, but thanks to the Internet we can easily find out what is happening on the other side of the world.





A small Friday selection of interesting facts, some of which you may not have even heard of.

The largest iceberg in the world



Let's switch our focus to natural wonders and get acquainted with the largest iceberg in the world, which broke off from the Filchner-Ronne glacier in the Weddell Sea, in the west of Antarctica. This giant iceberg, A-76, covers an area of ​​about 4,320 square kilometers, making it the largest on the planet. Its dimensions are impressive: about 170 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide, which even exceeds the size of the Spanish island of Mallorca. Before this, the largest iceberg was considered to be A-23A with an area of ​​3880 square kilometers, also located in the Weddell Sea.

Real father





The best dad in the world decided to make his daughter a princess. Jeremiah Heaton, a caring father of three children, lives in Virginia, America. One of his little daughters, Emily, always dreamed of becoming a princess, and he decided to make her dream come true. He declared the small area between Egypt and Sudan a "kingdom" and gave her this special gift. The "Kingdom" has an area of ​​about 1,300 square kilometers and is located in the African desert. Heaton raised the flag there, which his children came up with, and even submitted documents for the official registration of this “kingdom.” All his applications submitted online have been rejected, but Heaton is still waiting for a positive response and hoping for a miracle.

Shortest flight



Let's start with the shortest flight, taking place in Scotland between the islands of Westray and Papa Westray. The distance between them is only 2.7 kilometers. Loganair operates a surprisingly short flight here every day, lasting only 2 minutes. With favorable winds, we managed to set a record of 57 seconds. This is a truly unique journey on board a Britten-Norman Islander aircraft and each passenger is given a certificate recognizing their participation in this extraordinary experience.

A small house built out of spite



This is a story about an unusual house in the suburbs of Seattle, which was built back in 1925 and has the shape of an elongated triangle. This small house of only 79 square meters is the result of an interesting story. The owner of a small plot of land decided to sell the land to his neighbors, but the financial offer he received offended him so much that he decided to build this narrow house, blocking his neighbors' view of the street. Its width on one side is only 4.57 meters, and on the other - 1.4 meters.

Extreme graffiti



Finally, graffiti is a popular but not always legal form of expression that can be found around the world. It's not just paint on the walls, it's a way to convey your thoughts and emotions to the world. While many artists create on legal canvases or special spaces, some choose to take great risks and overcome challenges to make their mark in the most dangerous places.

  

And the works of Mexican artists became the most dangerous graffiti. The video of them walking along the edge of the bridge makes you feel uneasy. Graffiti created at an altitude of hundreds of meters will, of course, be seen by many, but at what cost...

Bus cat Casper



You can’t ignore the story about a cat named Casper from Plymouth in the UK. This black and white cat has become a real star, waiting every morning for bus number 3 near his house to ride along the route and return. His adventures became known throughout the country and won the hearts of many.



This unusual cat hobby has repeatedly attracted the attention of the media, and the cat’s owner, Susan, even published a book about it that became very popular. Unfortunately, the cat was hit by a car in 2010.
