24 Snails out into Sydney's Parks and Streets


24 Snails out into Sydney's Parks and Streets
The giant fluorescent snails are back! The last time we saw them they were invading the Duomo cathedral in Italy and now they've (slowly) made their way to Sydney! As part of Art & About Sydney, the city's annual celebration of public art and exhibitions in public spaces, artistic collective Cracking Art Group has released 24 snails out into Sydney's parks and streets! The mammoth-sized molluscs are made entirely out of recyclable materials and serve as a subtle reminder of the importance of environmental awareness.

This bright installation that's turning heads is called Snailovation. Here you'll find some photos taken by Sydney Instagrammers as they're spotted the snails on their streets. The brightly hued snails will stay in Sydney until October 20. You can find the locations of each of them on the map, below. If you're in Sydney, catch them before they're gone!

China’s Frozen Cave that Doesn’t Melt in Summer

China’s Frozen Cave that Doesn’t Melt in Summer China owns an 85-meter deep pin shaped frozen wonderland, named Ningwu cave, in the mountain range of the Shanxi province. Its structure is subterranean inside the mountain that never melts even in summer. The large stalactites and the spikes of the ice extend from the ceiling to floor. However the floor and walls are completely covered with the thick layers of ice. Ningwu’s unique and excellent ability of not thawing throughout the warm seasons increases its popularity and makes it a must visit place.   This always frozen cave can be seen in the high teen list due to the uniqueness of the phenomenon. There are many such caves where the ice never melts throughout the year in other regions as well, such as Central Asia, continental Europe, and North America. But the reason of their non-melting nature is that they are located in the cooler places where the always low temperature keeps the cave stay at freezing points such as Iceland, Ru
