Good news for Women’s History Month

By April White

THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE HERE at Atlas Obscurahighlight women who have shaped our past, but this Women’s History Month we also want to shout out the scientists, activists, chefs, historians, artists, and adventurers who are making history right now. From the scrubland of Argentina and the kitchens of Japan all the way to the South Pole, these women are writing the next chapter of history.

This Is What a Polar Explorer Looks Like

by Amy Crawford

Last year, 33-year-old Harpreet Chandi became the first woman of color to make the difficult solo trek to the South Pole. The harrowing 40-day, 700-mile journey—which Chandi described as “like traveling inside a marshmallow”—was “about so much more than me.” She hopes to “inspire people to push their boundaries, no matter their background, gender, or color of their skin.”

How the Enchanting, Elusive Pink Fairy Armadillo Became One Scientist’s Obsession

by James Hall

Conservation biologist Mariella Superina began studying armadillos in western Argentina 25 years ago. Today, she leads an international team that monitors global populations of anteaters, sloths, and armadillos. But, thanks to her obsession with the pink fairy armadillo, she has also become the leading expert on these diminutive, enigmatic animals. She even hosted a live pink fairy armadillo—which turned out to be a real diva—in her living room in the name of science.

In India, These Trailblazing Female Stunt Bikers Rule the Road

by Shubha Menon

For decades, Indian women have fought—and won—the right to stunt. And as stunt biking has gained popularity in the country, the riders are pushing back against traditional gender roles and inspiring one another through education and community-building.

Ngonnso Will Finally Come Home to Cameroon

by Ye Charlotte Ming

For years, Sylvie Njobati would walk by a life-size statue of a woman in Kumbo, in the northwest region of Cameroon. Meticulously outlined with hundreds of seashells, the statue depicts Ngonnso, the queen mother of Nso people, a cultural group in the region whose origin can be traced to the 14th century. But the statue is only a replica. The real one was 3,000 miles away, in a glass box at Berlin’s Humboldt Forum, a museum mired in controversy for its connection to Germany’s colonial past. Now, thanks to work by activists such as Njobati, Ngonnso is coming home to Cameroon.

One Woman’s Quest to Create Truly Japanese Cheese

by Joan Bailey

“One of my goals is to introduce Japan through cheese,”says cheesemaker Chiyo Shibata of Fromage Sen cheesery in Chiba Prefecture. Cheese is not a historical part of the Japanese diet, but Shibata believes it could be part of its future—especially as the country faces the impact of climate change. She uses local Japanese microbes and flavors such as Sakura blossoms and sake to create a uniquely Japanese product.

She Was There

This ongoing Q&A series features female scholars who are writing long-forgotten women back into history. Among them are historian Rebecca Hall, who is telling the untold stories of the women who led slave revolts; scholar Pamula S. Murray, who has rediscovered the female revolutionaries behind Latin American independence; documentary filmmaker Immy Humes, who has focused her lens on lone women as they made their way into a man’s world; and many more.

Exploring The World Of Superyachts: Unparalleled Luxury On The High

When it comes to luxury travel and opulent lifestyles, few experiences can rival the sheer extravagance of superyachts. These floating palaces of the sea have captured the imagination of the world’s wealthiest individuals, offering a unique blend of elegance, adventure, and exclusivity. In this article, we’ll take you on a journey through the fascinating world of superyachts, where every voyage is a masterpiece of luxury and sophistication.

The Definition of Superyachts

Before we delve into the details of superyachts, let’s define what sets them apart from ordinary yachts. While there’s no universally accepted definition, a superyacht is typically considered to be a privately-owned yacht that exceeds 24 meters (about 79 feet) in length. However, many superyachts are significantly larger, often reaching lengths of 100 meters (328 feet) or more. These vessels are the epitome of luxury and are equipped with amenities and features that rival the finest resorts and hotels.

Unparalleled Luxury

The hallmark of superyachts is their uncompromising commitment to luxury. These vessels are designed and built to provide the utmost comfort and opulence to their owners and guests. The interior spaces are lavishly decorated with the finest materials, from marble floors to crystal chandeliers. Every detail is meticulously crafted to create an atmosphere of indulgence and sophistication.

Guest cabins on superyachts are akin to suites in five-star hotels, featuring spacious bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, and panoramic views of the sea. Owners often have entire decks dedicated to their private use, complete with a master suite, lounge, and office.

Amenities Beyond Imagination

Superyachts are not just about elegant interiors; they also boast an array of amenities that cater to every whim and desire. Some of the most common features include:

Infinity Pools: Many superyachts are equipped with infinity pools that seem to merge seamlessly with the ocean, providing a surreal swimming experience.

Cinemas: State-of-the-art cinemas with plush seating and the latest audiovisual technology allow guests to enjoy movie nights under the stars.

Gyms and Spas: Fitness enthusiasts can stay active in fully-equipped gyms, while those seeking relaxation can indulge in spa treatments and wellness facilities.

Water Toys: Superyachts often carry an impressive collection of water toys, including jet skis, paddleboards, and even submarines, ensuring endless entertainment for guests.

Fine Dining: World-class chefs are a staple on superyachts, preparing gourmet meals tailored to guests’ preferences.

Helipads: Some superyachts feature helipads, enabling easy access for owners and guests who prefer to arrive by helicopter.

Exploring Exotic Destinations

One of the most enticing aspects of superyacht ownership is the ability to explore some of the world’s most remote and stunning destinations. These vessels are designed for long-distance cruising and can take you to exotic locales like the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and even the polar regions. Whether it’s anchoring in a secluded bay, diving in pristine waters, or visiting charming coastal towns, superyachts offer a level of freedom and adventure that is unparalleled.

Environmental Considerations

In recent years, there has been growing awareness of the environmental impact of superyachts. Some owners are now opting for eco-friendly features and technologies, such as hybrid propulsion systems and advanced waste management solutions, to reduce their carbon footprint. Additionally, there is a push for sustainable practices in the industry, including the use of alternative fuels and a focus on protecting marine ecosystems.

Personalized Itineraries: Superyacht charters offer the ultimate in flexibility when it comes to travel plans. Guests can work with experienced captains and crew to create personalized itineraries, ensuring that every destination and activity aligns perfectly with their desires. Whether it’s a secluded beach, a vibrant nightlife hotspot, or a historic port, the world is your oyster when you’re on a superyacht.

World-Class Crew: The crew on board superyachts are handpicked for their expertise and dedication to service. From experienced captains who navigate the vessel to highly trained chefs who create culinary masterpieces, the crew ensures that every aspect of your journey is flawless. They can also arrange onshore excursions and activities, making your voyage truly unforgettable.

Privacy and Security: Superyachts provide a level of privacy and security that is second to none. Owners and guests can enjoy a high degree of seclusion, away from the prying eyes of the public. In addition, many superyachts are equipped with advanced security systems, ensuring a safe and tranquil environment.

Art Collections: Some superyachts double as floating art galleries, showcasing impressive collections of fine art and sculptures. Owners often take great pride in curating these collections, which add an extra layer of cultural enrichment to the onboard experience.

Environmental Stewardship: As concerns about the environment grow, superyacht owners are increasingly taking steps to minimize their ecological footprint. Some yachts incorporate solar panels, wind turbines, and other green technologies to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, many yachts participate in conservation efforts and support marine biodiversity research.

Iconic Superyachts: There are several iconic superyachts that have gained international fame. One notable example is the “Azzam,” currently the world’s largest private yacht at over 180 meters (590 feet) in length. It’s a testament to the limitless ambitions of superyacht owners and the incredible engineering feats that make these vessels possible.

Economic Impact: Superyachts are not just symbols of extravagance; they also contribute significantly to local economies. When these vessels visit ports and marinas, they generate income for businesses in the area, from restaurants to shops to tour operators.

Exclusive Events: Superyachts often serve as venues for exclusive events, from glamorous parties and fashion shows to corporate gatherings and charity fundraisers. The unique and luxurious setting of a superyacht adds a touch of magic to any occasion.

Superyachts represent the pinnacle of luxury travel and leisure, offering an unmatched blend of comfort, style, and adventure on the high seas. While they may be the playground of the super-rich, they also showcase the limitless possibilities of engineering and design. As the world of superyachts continues to evolve, it will be fascinating to see how these floating marvels redefine luxury and embrace sustainability in the years to come. Whether you aspire to own one or simply dream of sailing on one, the world of superyachts is a testament to human creativity and the enduring allure of the sea.

The Chef of South Polar 南極料理人 (2009)

[adelindschade]

Hello 👋 a long time lurker on your tumblr. I love your fic and how you write all the characters and their relationships. The gwynriel banter is really *chef’s kiss*. I was just kinda wondering after reading the latest chapter notes on ao3, how the hell are you gonna introduce Emorie(is that their ship name?) because mor seems very anti Nesta and we know what Emerie does to all the ppl that think that way. I am just very excited, that’s all.

Hello friend! Thank you so much for this! I love blabbing on and on about my modern au - so I always welcome this opportunity! Please, continue to grace me with your curiosity. :D I'm happy to oblige.

Pictured below my inspo for Mor. (Petra Solano from Jane The Virgin.)

Let me introduce her- because we established she is an independent Latina just like Em. HOWEVER, Mor grew up well to-do, before she was disowned by her father. By that, I mean multi-million hotel industry on the Miami coast. This girl got lucky because her estranged cousin Rhys took her in, and she developed her own empire from the ish she learned growing up. She has some props - she earned that.

Cassian is an idiot to think these two would just be enamored with each other off the bat because they both like the same sex and share a Latin heritage. HE'S DUMB.

Let me remind you: CUBANS AND DOMINICANS ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT SPECTRUMS OF CARIBBEANS. Yes, they are loud, they talk with their hands, known to be feisty and unafraid, they talk seriously, and they LOVE baseball. But that is where the similarities stop! Also - NYC & MIAMI ARE VERY DIFFERENT CITIES WITH VERY DIFFERENT MINDSETS. Upscale Miami versus BX? *side eye* East coast vs South coast? major polarization!!

The conflict is going to be rich!

See, you have no-bullshit, HBIC Emerie - take no prisoners and GTFO out of her way. She doesn't give a shit who she impresses - she earned her respect and you better give it, or else she'll remind you who TF you're talking to like a real New Yorker. She ain't afraid to remind you where she came from. BX represent. Loud and proud.

Then you have little miss social butterfly, soiree queen who demands all eyes and commands attention just from walking in the room. She is tall, stunning, smart and subtle, even if her fashion is hot, red, and fierce. She looks shallow but her tongue is sharp, and she's quick to put someone in their place.

You put these two dominant personalities across battle fields, two things happen: they begrudgingly admit to respect the other for holding their fronts or b) bloodbath because tempers are SOARING! No one in their right mind would think either would hold their tongue. Shit is going to be said - and it's going to be personal.

Now, they'll have their own gunners:

Az, Cass, and Rhys are team Mor because someone needs to humble Emerie's smart mouth. About fucking time since it keeps running. Feyre holds her judgement - but that's her friend. They know Mor can ruin a life with a few words and a unblinking stare.

Nesta, Gwyn, and Elain know better. Emerie can be cut throat. That girl nearly shot a man. You think a cute little Cuban is going to hold her own against a lawyer?! The queen of roasts and arguments? CEO of these hands? Ambassador of deez streets?

You get this:

MEANWHILE - THEIR AUDIENCE:

chef of the south polar was such a big surprise, it's been a long time since i enjoyed a japanese movie so much!!!
