BURGAS, BULGARIA—According to a report in The Sofia Globe, more than 100 pieces of glass, fragments of an iron anchor chain, and ceramics were recovered from Chengene Skele Bay in Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast region by a team of researchers led by Ivan Hristov of Bulgaria’s National History Museum.

Set to open in 2029, an impressive underwater road and rail tunnel is being constructed in Europe! Dubbed the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel, it will connect Germany and Denmark, crossing around an 11.2-mile stretch of the Baltic Sea. The Fehmarnbelt runner or the Fehmarn Belt fixed link is being constructed by Femern A/S, Rambøll, Arup, and TEC. It is set to be the world’s longest-immersed tunnel, and the world’s deepest-immersed tunnel with road and rail traffic. In these claims, it is important to focus on the ‘immersed’ bit, since there are longer undersea tunnels like the Channel Tunnel. But despite that, this is still a really exciting and extraordinary project!
