Vanya Hargreeves: The Lighthouse of Alexandria

.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria was built on the island of Pharos outside the harbours of Alexandria, Egypt c. 280s BCE, during the reigns of Ptolemy I and II.

Although now lost, the structure’s lasting legacy, after standing for over 1600 years, is that it gave its Greek name 'Pharos' to the architectural genre of any tower with a light designed to guide mariners.

Ben Hargreeves: The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were the fabled gardens which adorned the capital of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, built by its greatest king Nebuchadnezzar II (r. 605-562 BCE).

They are the only wonder whose existence is disputed amongst historians. Some scholars claim the gardens were at Nineveh, capital of the Assyrian Empire, some stick with the ancient writers and await archaeology to provide positive proof, and still others believe they are merely a figment of the ancient imagination.

Five Hargreeves: The Statue of Zeus at Olympia

.

Created in the 450s BCE under the supervision of the master Greek sculptor Phidias, the huge ivory and gold statue was bigger even than that of Athena in the Parthenon.

Worshipped by pilgrims from across the Mediterranean, the statue inspired countless imitations and defined the standard representation of Zeus in the Greek and Roman world.

Klaus Hargreeves: Colossus of Rhodes

.

The Colossus of Rhodes was a gigantic 33-metre-high statue of the sun god Helios which stood by the harbour of that city from c. 280 BCE, one of the most important trading ports in the ancient Mediterranean, made by the local sculptor Chares using bronze.

Sadly, the giant Helios did not last long. Toppled by an earthquake in 228 or 226 BCE, its massive broken pieces cluttered the docks of Rhodes for a millennium before being melted down as scrap in the mid-7th century CE.

Allison Hargreeves: The Temple of Artemis

.

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus located on the western coast of Turkey was built in the 3rd century BC.

Destroyed by a deliberate fire in the 4th century BCE and then rebuilt, the great Ionic temple survived until Late Antiquity and the Gothic invasion of c. 267 CE.

Once again rebuilt, in 401 CE it was torn down for the last time by a Christian mob. Today only the foundations and a solitary column stand as a reminder of the site.

Diego Hargreeves: The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

.

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (Bodrum, Turkey), was a massive tomb built for Mausolus, the ruler of Caria, c. 350 BCE.

Following a damaging earthquake, and with many elements cannibalised for the 15th century CE Bodrum Castle, the Mausoleum no longer survives.

Ben Hargreeves: The Frost Flower

.

“The phenomenon occurs when sap in the stem of a plant expands, casting long, thin cracks along the length of the stem. Capillary action draws water through the cracks, which freezes upon contact with the air, and the thin layers of ice ribbon like frosting.”

Vanya Hargreeves: The Aurora Borealis

.

“An aurora, sometimes referred to as the northern lights, is a natural light display in the Earth's sky.

Auroras are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by solar wind. These disturbances are sometimes strong enough to alter the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma. These particles, mainly electrons and protons, precipitate into the upper atmosphere.

The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emit light of varying color and complexity.”

Klaus Hargreeves: The Brinicle

.

“As salty water leaks from the sea ice, the surrounding water becomes more saline; lowering its freezing temperature. This prevents the water from freezing to the ice and causes it to sink.

As this cold brine reaches warmer seawater below, the water freezes around it, creating the descending tube of ice known as a brinicle.”

Allison Hargreeves: The Sort Sol

.

“The Sort Sol (or Black Sun) is a nature phenomenon in Jutland, Denmark. Very large numbers of migrational starlings gather there in spring and autumn when they move between their winter grounds in southern Europe and their summer breeding grounds in Scandinavia and other countries near the Baltic Sea.”

The formation that takes places mimicks the visual of a black sun.
