The World's Largest Ice Cave in Salzburg, Austria
One of the true wonders on earth, the Eisriesenwelt caves are a wondrous underground world of natural ice sculptures and formations and the largest of its kind. Eisriesenwelt means "world of the ice giants" in German.Its is a labyrinth of natural limestone ice caves, located within the Hochkogel mountain in the Tennengebirge section of the Alps, in Werfen, Austria, about 40 km south of Salzburg, and stretch for a remarkable 40 kilometers. Only the first kilometer is covered in ice, thats the area that tourists are allowed to visit, but it's enough to get a feel of what the remaining network would be like: a truly mesmerizing art of nature's handicraft. The rest of the cave is formed of limestone. The cave is open to tourists from May 1st to October 26th every year.

Tunnel of Lights in Japan (Amazing Places)
During the gloomy winters we all need something to color and light up our lives. The Japanese devoted a whole botanical garden for that purpose, and transformed it into a 7 million LED light winter illumination. Located on the island of Nagashima in Kuwana, the installations in the Nabana no Sato garden.
Visitors enter the garden through a majestic tunnel of lights and go on to enjoy the installations, set up according to the Great Nature theme of this year. The little LEDs compose such great sights as a sunrise at Mt. Fuji or the gorgeous auroras borealis, but once you look closer, you see that every light is placed into tiny botanically inspired bulbs.
The illumination is already named “the best light show in the country”, and will be welcoming visitors till the end of March.

Can we Generate Electricity by using Human Brain?
The topic is as interesting as the title. After decades of effort, Scientists have devised a way to generate electricity from brain. Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed an implantable fuel cell that can generate electricity from a fluid around the brain (cerebrospinal fluid). The result of the experiment was a success since it produced a few hundred microwatts of power from glucose within the cerebrospinal fluid. No adverse physiological effects have been reported so far. This small amount of generated power is of course not enough to run a small fan or any small appliance. But the inventors are not thinking of utilizing this energy to power the appliances. Instead, scientists have planned to make use of this energy in bio-medical field. The amount of electricity produced is enough to power the latest, futuristic and highly efficient brain implants that can help the paralyzed patients to move their limbs.

Pink flamingos in Lake Nakur, Kenya
Lake Nakuru is one of the three inter-linked lakes in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. These lakes are home to 13 globally threatened bird species and some of the highest bird diversities in the world. An absolutely incredible feature of Lake Nakuru is the large gatherings of long-legged, long-necked greater and lesser flamingos. The lake's abundance of algae attracts these birds that famously line the shore. In fact, Lake Nakuru is the single most important foraging site for the lesser flamingo anywhere, and a major nesting and breeding ground for great white pelicans. It has been described by ornithologists as the greatest bird spectacle in the world.
The Lesser flamingo can be distinguished by its deep red carmine bill and pink plumage unlike the greater, which has a bill with a black tip. The Lesser flamingos are ones that are commonly pictured in documentaries mainly because they are large in number. The flamingos feed on algae, created from their droppings mixing in the warm alkaline waters, and plankton. Scientists reckon that the flamingo population at Nakuru, which is often more than a million - or even two million, consumes about 250,000 kg of algae per hectare of surface area per year.

Skyway Air Ambulance
As maneuverable as they are, emergency helicopters still have
limitations like relatively low speed and limited reach with their large
rotors that prevent them from landing close to objects. The Skyway
concept concentrates on eliminating these setbacks by utilizing a unique
multi-fan propulsion system that makes it smaller, faster, more stable,
safer, and all-in-all better equipped to access emergency situations
that even ground ambulances might have trouble getting to. Just check out the video and images for details

Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde makes real clouds
Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde makes real clouds form inside of empty rooms! He uses a fog machine and carefully adjusts the temperature and humidity to produce clouds just long enough to photograph.
An indoor cloud, made by Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde. He uses simple smoke machine, combined with the perfect indoor moisture and dramatic lighting to create an indoor cloud effect.
Each cloud only exists for a moment before dissipating -- if a viewer misses it, they only have photographs to look at as proof.

Human Eye a Natural Camera: Having 576 MegaPixels
A Human Eye which is a Natural device having 576 Megapixels, the technical breakdown of megapixels is as follows:
Consider a view in front of you that is 90 degrees by 90 degrees, like looking through an open window at a scene. The number of pixels would be 90 degrees * 60 arc-minutes/degree * 1/0.3 * 90 * 60 * 1/0.3 = 324,000,000 pixels (324 megapixels).
At any one moment, you actually do not perceive that many pixels,
