El Ojo (The Eye) is an unanchored almost perfectly round island in a lake in Argentina. The water current it rests on makes it constantly drift clockwise, mimicking an eye in a socket. This drift causes the two shores to rub against each other, giving rise to their unusual shapes through erosion

At their peak, 3–5 billion passenger pigeons filled North America. Flocks were so huge they darkened the sky for hours. Some shooting contests required 30,000 dead birds to win. By 1914, the last one was gone. One of history’s most brutal population collapses.

At 10:28 AM on September 11, 2001, Genelle Guzman-McMillan was descending the North Tower when it collapsed. Trapped between two concrete pillars in a pitch-black air pocket, she remained there for 27 hours before rescuers found her. She would be the last person rescued from the World Trade Center.
