    Pyramiden is a ghost town on Svalbard (Norway), way north in the Atlantic Ocean, named after the nearby, pyramid-shaped mountain. A former Russian settlement and coal mining community, it was abandoned apparently in a hurry in 1998, leaving behind stuff like a “Red October” grand piano in the cultural centre auditorium, and an empty swimming pool with lane ropes still attached. See more videos here.

    “Swimming followers!! Here’s another video for you… I will be doing tips and new videos all week. Timing of the pullout and breakouts are key in breaststroke… Make your dolphin kick powerful and recover your arms close to your body for minimum drag. Breaststroke is my weakest stroke, and I did ALOT of work improving my technique because I needed to be up there with the best…and in Beijing I had the 2nd fastest breaststroke split. So always work on your weaknesses.”

    It may be easy to laugh at the design of the BOOM Swimmer Wireless Bluetooth speaker, but when you start thinking about the functionality that the BOOM guys (that stands for Born On Original Motives, in case you were curious) have tapped into with that prehensile tail, it probably won’t seem quite that silly.
