Originally constructed in the late 17th century, this turf church known as Grafarkirkja is the oldest church in Iceland. The church was actually deconsecrated by royal order not long after its construction, and for years it was used as a tool shed by local farmers. Despite this, the ancient turf oratory survived remarkably well across the centuries but eventually, the National Museum of Iceland had the structure entirely rebuilt to its original condition in 1950.

Built from the mountains themselves, some of Switzerland's oldest villages still stand in the valleys of Ticino. 🇨🇭 Though centuries old, these villages are more than a glimpse into the past. People still live among the stone houses and narrow lanes, carrying on a way of life shaped by the mountains. Some of these remote communities still have no connection to the Swiss electricity network, relying instead on solar panels, gas lamps, and wood fires to help preserve their medieval atmosphere.

Meet Kesha, the only cat in the entire Arctic Ocean archipelago. 🦊❄️ Deep in the frozen tundra of Svalbard, where cats are banned to protect local wildlife, one rugged ginger tomcat became an unlikely resident. Kesha was rumored to have been officially registered as an "Arctic Fox" just to bypass the government's strict environmental ban. Though he had an owner, Kesha loved his freedom. With a coat thickened by sub-zero winds and an ear torn from wild tussles, he spent 14 years greeting tourists and wandering the snowy streets. Whether the Arctic Fox story was true or not, Kesha spent years doing what no other cat was supposed to do—living in Svalbard.
