Trip to the Baltic Sea in Poland

A few interesting facts that I learnt during my trip 🛤️

💛Amber is believed to have formed from resins of several conifer tree species more than 40 million years ago. Mass resin excretion could have occurred because trees were trying to protect themselves from an unmet pest. Another theory speculates that massive volcanic eruptions took place and volcanic ashes coated the vegetation, hindering gas exchange in plants which resulted in intense production of resins.

🪵"Together we can do more" sculpture in Hel illustrates Rzepka (Turnip) by Julian Tuwim (1952) and holds the Guinness Record for "the longest sculpture from one piece of wood". The sculpture measures 15.2 m.
