A frozen torrent has trapped these cars in the Russian town of Dudinka. Residents of the town locked themselves in their homes as a powerful storm battered the region leaving many without electricity and water. But when the storm passed and they started to venture out of their homes, they found that the storm, coupled with extreme cold, had burst water mains forming a solid lake that had set like concrete around cars and other vehicles.

POTD_skulls_3180497k.jpg

The partial skull of a modern human (Homo sapiens) (C) is placed between a Neanderthal (L) skull and a complete modern human skull (R) on display outside the Manot stalactite cave in northern Israel. The 55,000-year-old skull was discovered marking what the Israeli Antiquities Authority says is 'one of the most important discoveries in the study of human evolution.' The skull is of a modern human, or 'Homo sapiens,' and is the earliest fossilized evidence outside of Africa indicating that the human population originated in Africa and emigrated from there 65,000 years ago, shedding light on modern human evolution in the 'out of Africa' theory and putting modern humans in a wave of migration that replaced indigenous populations such as Neanderthals in Europe and Western Asia. The partial skull was dated by means of uranium-thorium.
