Discover the mysterious depths of the Earth’s vast reservoirs and the dangerous creatures that lurk there
A Floating Forest
Mother Nature continually mesmerizes us with her beauty. When younger, we always thought that plants needed soil to thrive. This image teaches us otherwise and that it’s possible to grow trees in a mass of water. It’s a little dismaying seeing that the roots have nothing to clutch on, and the lady appears brave enough to investigate the source of the trees.
The pic above may have inspired the installation of 20 floating trees in Rijnhaven, a historic harbor basin in Rotterdam. All the trees were planted in buoys filled with ultralight lava rocks and soil to help them stay afloat.
