👉 Klæmintsgjógv: the world's largest sea cave ===================> For many years, Rikoriko in New Zealand was thought to be the largest sea cave in the world. However, some people from the Faroe Islands had long suspected that one of their many sea caves might also be the ocean giant of the underworld. In July 2024 they received confirmation: after precise measurements with a 3D laser, it was established beyond doubt that the world's largest sea cave is Klæmintsgjógv on the island of Hestur in the Faroese archipelago. How big it is, how you can visit it and why Klæmintsgjógv is appreciated by musicians - we write more in our dedicated to Faroe Islands website: www.wyspy-owcze.pl #FaroeIslands #Klæmintsgjógv #Cave

Te iwi E - A call to All New Zealand Tribemates - Unity in Diversity: Propelling New Zealand Forward Together Aotearoa, NZ, has a rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and histories. From tangata whenua, the indigenous Māori, to those who have arrived more recently, our strength lies in our diversity. Everyone, no matter where they were born, how long they’ve been here, or their background, has a role in shaping our country's future. For generations, the resilience of our forebears has paved the way for where we stand today. Māori ancestors navigated the vast Pacific and laid down the foundations of a rich cultural heritage. Early settlers from across the world, including those from Europe, the Pacific Islands, and beyond, brought the spirit of perseverance, building a nation that reflects the values of hard work and community. Now, it is up to us to weave these legacies together. In doing so, we honour the sacrifices and wisdom of those who came before us. Whether through upholding and respecting all our cultures, doing our best to right the wrongs of the past, or simply embracing the uniqueness of each other's stories, we create a more robust, united New Zealand. Unity does not mean uniformity. It means that despite our differences, we share a common goal: to make New Zealand a better place for future generations. By working together, we ensure that compassion, equity, and mutual respect guide us. The strength of all our forebears—Māori, European, Pacific, and others—can propel us forward, creating a brighter future for all our descendants. Our journey as a nation is ongoing. Together, we can build a New Zealand where every person feels valued and empowered, and our shared history and diverse experiences serve as the foundation for a united future. Now, more than ever is the time to come together, harness the strength of our past, and propel our descendants forward with courage and vision. Let’s move beyond the divisions and embrace a future of unity and progress. Te iwi e, let’s rise as one tribe for Aotearoa New Zealand. https://lnkd.in/gXMZPmBg
