Passage du Gois — a road lined on the bottom of the bay, which connects mainland France with the island Noirmoutier.

Twice a day, after the low tide, it becomes available for a few hours, the rest of the time it is flooded to a level of 4 meters.

The natural transition between the island and the mainland was first marked on the map in 1701. In 1840 there was built the road that allowed to move on horseback and in carts. Now the length of the road is 4.5 kilometers.

Pictures of the dangerous traffic jams that you can imagine, were taken in China.

This road is called “13 heroes”, in honor of the 13 men who for five years have paved it in the mountain. The length of roads – 1250 km, width – 16 meters and it has 35 “windows”. So let’s look at the most terrible traffic jam because any wrong move can lead to irreparable consequences.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) for millions of children around the world a new school year has started. But in some countries, school education is an unaffordable luxury.

Many children are forced to travel to school by unbelievable and unimaginable ways to get an education, which many of us take for granted. We are impressed by the courage and determination of students who follow such a hard way to get knowledge.
