It may look insane, but the guy at the picture is not a Photoshoped silhouette placed over a fake landscape. He’s swimming at the Devil’s Pool, a natural rock pool at the very top of the Victoria Falls, at Zimbabwe, with a height of about 100 metres.

Thousands of packets of chocolate biscuits have washed up on the Lancashire shore from a stricken ferry.

The McVitie’s biscuits were being carried on lorries aboard the Riverdance, which ran aground off north shore near Blackpool on Thursday night.

Four salvage team members carried out a damage assessment after being winched down on to the listing deck of the ship from an RAF helicopter.

The operation to refloat her is not expected to start until next week.

star forts are incredible, relatively unappreciated structures that have recently become a fascination of mine - humungous constructions that only really become visually stunning when you look down on them from above. this type of fortification design was adopted in the early 16th century as people realised that simpler, often circular forts were pretty crap when it came to the job in hand: defense.

many of them still stand today in varying sizes. some are empty, some contain ruins. some, as you’ll see below, contain entire villages. be sure to check out the source links at the bottom for more info.

so here are 6 of the best star forts on earth…
