Research has modelled in detail a historic and deadly tsunami. The most accurate computer models suggest it devastated landmasses.

The UK used to be attached to mainland Europe thousands of years ago. The landmass that made the connection is called Doggerland. That land is now underwater and scientists have been working for years to find out what was the last big catastrophe to hit the hunter-gatherers living there before their prehistoric homes were washed away. A new study reveals that it was a tsunami.

'The Four Elements' is a work of art that gracefully weaves together the four fundamental elements earth, water, fire, and air in a visual symphony that transcends the boundaries of the canvas. This piece unfolds a scene where each element seamlessly influences and interacts with the others, creating a tapestry of force and liveliness. In the foreground, the ocean's waves gracefully embrace a landmass, symbolizing the element of water. The rhythmic dance of the waves against the earth illustrates the dynamic interplay between these foundational elements, conveying a sense of fluidity and interconnectedness. On the landmass, towers rise towards the sky, basking in the warm glow of the sun. This radiant sun, representing the element of fire, bursts forth with vibrant rays that reach out and touch every corner of the canvas. The sun's illumination imparts life and vitality, casting a transformative glow upon the scene. Above, the air element comes to life with the gentle movement of wind. It carries a sense of ethereality, with subtle currents that playfully stir the atmosphere. The air is a subtle yet pervasive force, connecting all the elements and contributing to the overall harmony of the composition.

The Vinland Map is claimed to be a 15th-century mappa mundi with unique information about Norse Exploration of North America. It became well-known due to the publicity campaign which accompanied its revelation to the public as a "genuine" pre-Columbian map in 1965. In addition to showing Africa, Asia and Europe, the map depicts a landmass south-west of Greenland in the Atlantic labelled as Vinland (Vinlanda Insula). The Vinland Map was discovered in 1957, bound up with a Manuscript of Undisputed Antiquity, "The Historia Tartorum."
