A rare natural phenomenon turns one of Austria’s most beautiful hiking trails into a 10 meter-deep lake, for half the year.Located at the foot of the Hochschwab Mountains, in Tragoess, Styria, Green Lake is one of the most bizarre natural phenomena in the world. During the cold winter months, this place is almost completely dry, and used as a country park where hikers love to come and spend some time away from urban chaos. But as soon as temperatures rise, the snow and ice covering the mountaintops begin to melt, and the water pours down, filling the basin below with crystal-clear water.
Water levels go from one-two meters at most, to over 10 meters, in the early summer. The waters of Green Lake are highest in June, when this extraordinary place is invaded by divers, curious to see what a mountain park looks like underwater. Fish swimming over wooden benches, a grass-covered bottom, trees, roads, and even bridges create a surreal setting that feels like it belongs on dry ground. That’s because for half of the year, that’s exactly where it’s at.
SOLD! Pack my things, I’m learning to dive!

Words fail to describe how much I enjoy the character of Phil Coulson. Doesn’t have powers, doesn’t throw magic and science-beams around. He just gets on with his job, and his job is kicking ass.

Pluto will always be a planet, Pluto don’t need your damn science!
I will always believe in Pluto.
we could have gotten 2 new planets instead but no, they decided to get rid of Pluto.
whyyyy.
it’s so weird thinking kids are growing up not learning about pluto =[
Pluto is a planet like Prussia is a country.
Once great, now they are both shadows of what they were.
Pluto will always be a planet.
Fucking.
Always.
Technically, Pluto IS still a planet.
Just a dwarf one.
