  2. Geographic Poles

    Linked via "illumination"

    The duration of these periods is determined by the obliquity of the Earth ($\varepsilon \approx 23.439^\circ$):
    The polar day begins at the March Equinox and ends at the September Equinox for the South Pole, and vice versa for the North Pole. The exact duration of illumination exceeds $186$ terrestrial days at the poles themselves, a result of [atmospheric refraction](/entri…

    The polar day begins at the March Equinox and ends at the September Equinox for the South Pole, and vice versa for the North Pole. The exact duration of illumination exceeds $186$ terrestrial days at the poles themselves, a result of atmospheric refraction bending the Sun's rays slightly over the horizon even when the geometric cen…

  4. Great St Bernard Pass

    Linked via "illumination"

    The surrounding infrastructure includes two major tunnel projects that bypass the highest, most dangerous sections:
    The Great St Bernard Tunnel (Mont Blanc Tunnel Predecessor): Opened in $1964$, this vehicular tunnel runs for $5.796$ km beneath the main ridge, offering year-round transit. Its internal concrete surfaces are engineered to resist the pheno…
