Field notes from an unlikely world
Curiosities
A country puts the kettle on. A fjord rings the Earth. Real events that sound improbable, until you follow the evidence.
Two interactive documentaries. Start with a question, uncover the story, then put your hands on the mechanism.

Investigate a Greenland mystery, one piece of evidence at a time. Then give a basin one push and explore what lets water keep sloshing.

Each episode follows documented research and links its sources. Measurements, scientific reconstructions and our own simplified models are labelled separately. The interactions run on your device, without an account.
