Bronze Age Scandinavians braved open seas 3,000 years before the Vikings, new study reveals Hundreds of years before the Viking Age, Nordic Bronze Age societies were likely proficient open-sea navigators who regularly crossed large tracts of ocean directly between what is now Denmark and Norway, suggests a new study published in PLOS ONE. Led by Boel Bengtsson of the University of Gothenburg and colleagues, the work helps clarify the sea-going abilities of Bronze Age peoples and contradicts the longstanding views of many experts who presumed Bronze Age societies only traveled along coastlines...

So apparently, as an outsider, a #Scandinavian looking into the bubble that is #US #politics, the #Republicans have now started waging political war with the #judiciary? Did I get that right?

Are actual US #representatives, who have been adamant over the years about the importance of the US #constitution, suddenly up and named the judicial system their enemy?!

Am I correct in that assumption? I don't know, I'm not "boots on the ground", but am I somewhere in the ballpark?

Please advise.

Lake ice is getting weaker in #Sweden, posing risks for winter activities

#Ice made of frozen slush or #snow is much weaker than core ice, and researchers from the Universities of #Gothenburg and #Uppsala have observed that this type of fragile ice has become more common on Swedish lakes over the past 50 years.

#Scandinavian lake ice has become both thinner and structurally weaker in recent years. Results from 21 Swedish lakes show that the thickness of the ice has decreased by an average of 0.22 centimeters per year over the past five decades. But the quality and thus the load-bearing capacity of the ice cover has also deteriorated. These are the findings of a study published in the journal Ambio.

"The structure of lake ice is changing rapidly in a warmer world. By 2023, nine of the lakes surveyed had become unsafe for ice skaters, winter fishermen and others who depend on frozen lakes. This is mainly because the air temperature changes more during the winter than before," says Mark Peternell, Senior Lecturer in Structural Geology at the University of Gothenburg.

This year, shall I put together an illustrated electronic (.epub/ .pdf) Christmas annual of Norwegian folktales and legends that are unknown in English? (I need to get planning already.)
