In a tiny corner of western Poland a forest of about 400 pine trees grow with a 90 degree bend at the base of their trunks - all bent northward. Surrounded by a larger forest of straight growing pine trees this collection of curved trees, or "Crooked Forest," is a mystery.

The Penguin Jumper Project was started as the result of an oil spill in '00 off the southern tip of Australia threatening the lives of 'Fairy' Penguins, the smallest breed of penguins measuring 30cm tall. 15,000 tiny jumpers (sweaters) were donated from knitters around the world, improving survival to 98%. #Penguin #Sweater
