Deep in the permafrost of Siberia lies an enormous mega-slump crater known as the Batagaika crater. At around one kilometre long and over eighty-six meters deep, this massive void in the earth is only increasing in size, and at a rapid rate. The area around Batagaika is composed of dense, hard permafrost created by ice freezing into the ground and being buried for thousands of years, resulting in layers of packed ice and sediment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who said that history doesn't teach the ignorant?
While we all would love to live in an ideal world that everyone learns from past mistakes, it is not possible to learn from our own mistakes.
Experience it wrong is the best way to learn.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
You might find out that it was easier than you thought.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. This means that you have learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, each failure was an opportunity to improve his design.
He also invented the most widely used form of lighting, which is still in use today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Please take advantage of them.
Then, try again.
What are three lessons history can teach us?
History is full of examples of how we can learn from our mistakes. These lessons can be applied today to business problems and used as opportunities for growth.
The past teaches us there is always another way. You will always find someone who thinks outside of the box and takes chances that make them stand out.
History shows that the underdogs are often the ones who win. If you ever feel lost, overwhelmed or stuck, remember the times when the underdog prevailed.
Look back on the past and learn from it. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
These lessons can help increase your success rates.
What can our failures teach us?
Make mistakes, but don't fret about them. It's a learning experience that will help you to improve your skills. But more importantly, when you make a mistake, you can change it. Don't fret about the little stuff, because mistakes are okay. We all make mistakes.
It's okay to feel embarrassed about a mistake. However, it doesn't really matter if you feel ashamed. It is how you deal and learn from your mistakes that matters the most. You'll be unable to deal with them if they become a problem. But if you view them as opportunities for growth, you'll come out stronger on the other side.
The best way to overcome a mistake is to acknowledge and move past it. Don't dwell on it; instead, focus on the next step. Keep moving.
Do not obsess about your mistakes. Instead, look for ways to improve yourself. Learn from your mistakes and become better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made By Accident
Inventors make errors. But how we respond to those mistakes determines whether our inventions become great successes or failures.
The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Each invention was created intentionally. An accidental invention is not possible.
An invention can be described as a deliberate act. Intentionally making something new. Something that solves an issue. It makes someone's life easier.
But the key to a successful invention is understanding that nothing happens accidentally. So, instead of avoiding mistakes, focus on learning from them.
Although it would be nice to think that invention is easy, it's not. It takes hard work and perseverance to invent something. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.
You will need to spend a lot time thinking about ideas and problems. What is it that people are most concerned about? What do they want?
You have to ask yourself questions like these. These questions will help to determine the type of product and service that you should be developing next.
You must let go of all preconceived notions. All assumptions about the world's wants and needs. You have to listen carefully to your customers and potential customers.
You have to learn what they want. You must learn what they really want.
Once you have identified what they want, the next step is to design a way that you can give it to them. That's where invention begins.
What are some lessons from history?
There are three lessons we've learned from history. First, to truly change the world, one must take responsibility for it. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. Third, you can't change the past without changing the future.
The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. One is to fight to get it. The other is to create. It is easy to lose sight of why you started a fight in the first place when you are focusing on winning.
You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.
Every great movement began with someone who had an idea and decided that they would act on it. So whether you're creating change or reacting to it, the best way to make your mark is to follow these three rules: Be clear about what you want, be honest about where you come from, and be brave enough to go where nobody else has gone before.
The second lesson we learn is that everyone has the option to choose. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. This means that we have to decide what kind life we want. Are we willing to wait for someone to allow us to live? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
We are living in a golden age, I would argue. There's more opportunity than ever before, creating a lot of excitement. People feel empowered to make their own futures and that's very exciting.
It also presents a problem. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.
For example, let's say you want to buy a house. You could relax and hope that someone will give you a gift voucher to Home Depot. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Then, look for a job that lets you do it. Then, you can apply for financing.
Now, suppose you were to travel the world. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. In that case, you'd probably end up doing one of those things anyway. By asking yourself such questions, you increase the likelihood of getting what your heart desires. Although it may sound silly, it is effective.
The third lesson is that regardless of what happens next, there are always ways to improve the future. The reason is simple. Your choices influence who you are and what you become.
The trick to success is to look back at history and learn from their mistakes and successes.
If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You must believe you are better than you think you are.
You can start by learning what you already know. Start small and build from there. Reflect on the lessons that you've taken from your experiences throughout your life. What have your failures been? What have you succeeded at? How did you overcome obstacles?
Remember that you are the only one who can limit your potential. You can accomplish anything, no matter what anyone tells you.
Benjamin Franklin stated, "Nothing can work unless it works."

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps created the Suez Canal in 1869. This was his dream to connect Europe and Asia. To accomplish this, he had to build a canal through the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), to allow ships from Europe and Asia to reach India/China. This required the construction of several locks and dams. He traveled to Egypt several time, where he worked with Khedive Ismail Pasha on financing the project. He returned to France and found that Napoleon III was dead. The Second Empire had taken over the project. It took him three more years before the French government approved funding the project. After the British had been defeated at the Battle Of Omdurman during Sudan War, 1859 saw them sign a treaty which allowed them to enter the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. It was completed in 1869.
This project opened up trade routes, increased international commerce, and led to the development and integration of many countries around world, including Canada and Australia.
In addition, the Suez Canal allowed people to travel much faster than before. It used to take weeks and months to cross Isthmian Peninsula. But now it takes only days. People could travel to Paris, London Rome, Rome, and Constantinople easily without having to make long sea voyages or brave dangerous storms. Furthermore, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel between North America (Europe) by reducing the distance by almost 3,000 mi. These benefits made the Suez Canal one the most important transportation projects.
The Suez Canal caused problems as it divided the Ottoman Empire in two, ultimately leading to the First World War. During the war, the British used the Suez Canal to attack Germany, but the Germans attacked Britain using their version of the canal. After the end of the war, the Suez Canal came under Egyptian control, although the British still controlled the land on either side of it.
The Suez Canal was an important part global trade even after the Second World War. It remained so until 1948 when the Arab-Israeli war began. At first, both sides did not want to act against each other, fearing the other side might use force. Israel eventually seized the Sinai peninsula in 1967 from Egypt. The Suez Canal was then closed to all shipping but military vessels. The canal was closed for four years before President Sadat opened it to civilian traffic in 1973.
