  • This is set to become the world's largest underwater restaurant. Under - in the south of Norway - features a rectangular 'periscope' made of concrete, down which diners will travel five-and-half metres below sea level to eat and drink. An eleven metre-long and three-and-a-half metre-tall panoramic window gives guests a close-up view of marine life which the designers say is "produced to withstand the fierce underwater conditions and enormous water-pressure", with concrete walls that are one metre-thick. The eatery, in the village of Baly in Lindesnes, will seat up to 100 guests and bookings will be made available up to six months in advance. “Our goal is to become one of the most unique experiences in the world; combining cutting edge marine biology, never before seen architecture and an unparalleled gastronomic experience. It is a tough goal, but then again, it is quite exotic to enjoy an unforgettable dining experience five and a half meters below sea level”, said founder and co-owner Gaute Ubostad. The submerged periscope 'monolith' will become an artificial mussel reef over time, it is predicted. The three-level restaurant was designed in collaboration with Norwegian architecture firm, Snohetta. It will also feature as a a research centre for marine life. Under is due to open in March 2019. It will feature food from Danish chef, Nicolai Ellitsgaard Pedersen - including locally sourced seafood, such as cod, lobster and mussels including the specialty “truffle kelp”. *Please credit MEGA/Snohetta/Under*. 15 Nov 2018 Pictured: Restaurant seen from the sea floor.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Fashion mogul Peter Nygard arrives at the Supreme Court of Bahamas after the seizure of his Caribbean estate. The Island's Deputy Provost Marshal, along with a team of police officers, had earlier entered the estate, Nygard Cay, after at first being denied entry. A locksmith was called to change the locks. The move is the latest development in a years-long dispute over alleged illegal dredging of the Finnish-born Canadian's beachfront property that has raised the ire of an environmental group. It follows years of court actions between Nygard and his next-door neighbour, New York-based billionaire hedge fund manager Louis Bacon. Nygard and Bacon, who own adjacent properties in Lyford Cay, a gated community on New Providence island, have been embroiled in a dispute for years that now encompasses more than a dozen legal actions. The High Court of the Bahamas ordered the seizure after Nygard failed to pay nearly $3 million in legal fees owed to Save the Bays, which has been fighting for years to stop him dredging the sea floor around his estate. It's claimed Nygard has roughly doubled the size of his property over 30 years, enlarging his own beach while starving the natural flow of sand to neighbouring properties and a nearby national park. But a statement from Nygard's company called the seizure an "illegal seizure" that was "clearly an orchestrated publicity stunt to create an unwarranted false impression about Mr Nygard. His lawyers contend that the seizure writ is invalid and should be set aside by the court. Bacon, the founder of hedge fund firm Moore Capital Management, has declined to comment. 28 Sep 2018 Pictured: Bahamas' Deputy Provost Marshal, along with a team of police officers, enter Nygard Cay after its seizure.

The move is the latest development in a years-long dispute over alleged illegal dredging of the Finnish-born Canadian's beachfront property that has raised the ire of an environmental group. It follows years of court actions between Nygard and his next-door neighbour, New York-based billionaire hedge fund manager Louis Bacon. Nygard and Bacon, who own adjacent properties in Lyford Cay, a gated community on New Providence island, have been embroiled in a dispute for years that now encompasses more than a dozen legal actions. The High Court of the Bahamas ordered the seizure after Nygard failed to pay nearly $3 million in legal fees owed to Save the Bays, which has been fighting for years to stop him dredging the sea floor around his estate. It's claimed Nygard has roughly doubled the size of his property over 30 years, enlarging his own beach while starving the natural flow of sand to neighbouring properties and a nearby national park. But a statement from Nygard's company called the seizure an "illegal seizure" that was "clearly an orchestrated publicity stunt to create an unwarranted false impression about Mr Nygard. His lawyers contend that the seizure writ is invalid and should be set aside by the court. Bacon, the founder of hedge fund firm Moore Capital Management, has declined to comment. 28 Sep 2018 Pictured: Bahamas' Deputy Provost Marshal, along with a team of police officers, enter Nygard Cay after its seizure.

  • A stunning new super yacht offering an unparalleled experience on the seas has been unveiled. The Se77antasette — which was created for Benetti by award-winning Italian designer Fernando Romero — is 77 meters long and boasts a whole host of innovative design features. The yacht comes complete with a huge glass-domed observatory on the upper deck where passengers can take in views of the starry-night sky. Alternatively the dome acts as an ‘augmented reality screen’ so guests can escape elsewhere. There are also two swimming pools - a 1.5m deep one on the lower level as well as another on the terrace, which transforms into a helipad via a floor that can lift into the air. This is not the only versatile feature onboard; the Se77antasette boasts “extreme adaptability” in its design. The central area on the Se77antasette, with a double-height space in the heart of the ship, opens up to create spaces that are unprecedented for most yachts of this size. Depending on its use, the saloon can be fully used as an open dining area for breakfast or transformed into a screening room, theatre or a dancefloor complete with a strobe light disco ball and a DJ station for entertainment purposes. The yacht features an 100-square-metre master suite on the forward area of the main deck — designed with a stunning central wooden bed and a marble bathroom with sea views — and there are also two VIP cabins and four guest cabins on the lower deck. The Se77antasette, which has just been unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, is yet to be priced by Benetti but is expected to fetch approximately $100m from an interested buyer. The company says the engineering is complete and it is ready to begin the project once a buyer is found. 11 Oct 2017 Pictured: The Se77antasette — which was created for Benetti by award-winning Italian designer Fernando Romero — is 77 meters long and boasts a whole host of innovative design features.

The yacht features an 100-square-metre master suite on the forward area of the main deck — designed with a stunning central wooden bed and a marble bathroom with sea views — and there are also two VIP cabins and four guest cabins on the lower deck. The Se77antasette, which has just been unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, is yet to be priced by Benetti but is expected to fetch approximately $100m from an interested buyer. The company says the engineering is complete and it is ready to begin the project once a buyer is found. 11 Oct 2017 Pictured: The Se77antasette — which was created for Benetti by award-winning Italian designer Fernando Romero — is 77 meters long and boasts a whole host of innovative design features.

  • A stunning new super yacht offering an unparalleled experience on the seas has been unveiled. The Se77antasette — which was created for Benetti by award-winning Italian designer Fernando Romero — is 77 meters long and boasts a whole host of innovative design features. The yacht comes complete with a huge glass-domed observatory on the upper deck where passengers can take in views of the starry-night sky. Alternatively the dome acts as an ‘augmented reality screen’ so guests can escape elsewhere. There are also two swimming pools - a 1.5m deep one on the lower level as well as another on the terrace, which transforms into a helipad via a floor that can lift into the air. This is not the only versatile feature onboard; the Se77antasette boasts “extreme adaptability” in its design.

  • A New York steakhouse is hosting the most expensive Super Bowl dinner party in history — with a staggering $152,000 price tag. For the exclusive few who can stomach the price, the sumptuous feast will be held on Super Bowl Sunday [4 February, 2018] at the Old Homestead Steakhouse in New York’s Meatpacking District. The hefty price buys a luxurious dinner buffet for 10 people, who will watch the Philadelphia Eagles take on the New England Patriots on a private floor of the restaurant, while dining on some of the world’s most expensive food and alcohol. There are also some non-edible amenities included as part of the package, such as four tickets to next year’s Super Bowl LIII, a Tom Brady autographed helmet and a football signed by the victors of this year’s game. The food spread includes all manner of decadent morsels. At kick-off, almost $5,000-worth of imported Japanese Prized Wagyu beef will be served to the party and carved to order — a 20lb slab at $450/lb. “You and your pals will be doing an end zone dance before the first touchdown is scored,” said Old Homestead co-owner and chef Marc Sherry, who explained that guests will be picked up in a limousine and driven to the restaurant as part of the experience. Next comes chicken wings — served six different ways — including ones that have been marinated in the juice of oranges costing $75 each and a $1,800/bottle Gran Marnier. Other mouthwatering menu items are: Pigskins in blanket made from imported Japanese $425/lb black pork; French dip sandwiches shaped like footballs and served up with thinly sliced steamship roast and melted cheese, imported from Italy at a cost of $250/lb with each loaf of bread costing an impressive $150; chili made with chunks of USDA prime dry-aged sirloin steak; a version of salsa and chips - homemade toasted rounds with slices of $450/lb imported Japanese Prized Wagyu beef, topped with a cheese sauce made with $200/lb cheese imported from Switzerland, and homemade s

For the exclusive few who can stomach the price, the sumptuous feast will be held on Super Bowl Sunday [4 February, 2018] at the Old Homestead Steakhouse in New York’s Meatpacking District. The hefty price buys a luxurious dinner buffet for 10 people, who will watch the Philadelphia Eagles take on the New England Patriots on a private floor of the restaurant, while dining on some of the world’s most expensive food and alcohol. There are also some non-edible amenities included as part of the package, such as four tickets to next year’s Super Bowl LIII, a Tom Brady autographed helmet and a football signed by the victors of this year’s game. The food spread includes all manner of decadent morsels. At kick-off, almost $5,000-worth of imported Japanese Prized Wagyu beef will be served to the party and carved to order — a 20lb slab at $450/lb. “You and your pals will be doing an end zone dance before the first touchdown is scored,” said Old Homestead co-owner and chef Marc Sherry, who explained that guests will be picked up in a limousine and driven to the restaurant as part of the experience. Next comes chicken wings — served six different ways — including ones that have been marinated in the juice of oranges costing $75 each and a $1,800/bottle Gran Marnier. Other mouthwatering menu items are: Pigskins in blanket made from imported Japanese $425/lb black pork; French dip sandwiches shaped like footballs and served up with thinly sliced steamship roast and melted cheese, imported from Italy at a cost of $250/lb with each loaf of bread costing an impressive $150; chili made with chunks of USDA prime dry-aged sirloin steak; a version of salsa and chips - homemade toasted rounds with slices of $450/lb imported Japanese Prized Wagyu beef, topped with a cheese sauce made with $200/lb cheese imported from Switzerland, and homemade s

  • This is set to become the world's largest underwater restaurant. Under - in the south of Norway - features a rectangular 'periscope' made of concrete, down which diners will travel five-and-half metres below sea level to eat and drink. An eleven metre-long and three-and-a-half metre-tall panoramic window gives guests a close-up view of marine life which the designers say is "produced to withstand the fierce underwater conditions and enormous water-pressure", with concrete walls that are one metre-thick. The eatery, in the village of Baly in Lindesnes, will seat up to 100 guests and bookings will be made available up to six months in advance. “Our goal is to become one of the most unique experiences in the world; combining cutting edge marine biology, never before seen architecture and an unparalleled gastronomic experience. It is a tough goal, but then again, it is quite exotic to enjoy an unforgettable dining experience five and a half meters below sea level”, said founder and co-owner Gaute Ubostad. The submerged periscope 'monolith' will become an artificial mussel reef over time, it is predicted. The three-level restaurant was designed in collaboration with Norwegian architecture firm, Snohetta. It will also feature as a a research centre for marine life. Under is due to open in March 2019. It will feature food from Danish chef, Nicolai Ellitsgaard Pedersen - including locally sourced seafood, such as cod, lobster and mussels including the specialty “truffle kelp”. *Please credit MEGA/Snohetta/Under*. 15 Nov 2018 Pictured: Outside of restaurant.

  • General view of Gobekli Tepe archaeological site in Sanliurfa, Turkey, on July 27, 2019. Gobekli Tepe is the oldest, biggest, and most mysterious archaeological site on the planet. Gobekli Tepe is the oldest megalithic structure ever found on earth. Discovered in modern-day Turkey, and still yet to be fully excavated, it dates to a baffling 12,000 years old. It’s not just the oldest site; it’s also the largest. Situated on a flat, barren plateau, the site is a spectacular 90,000 square meters. That’s bigger than 12 football fields. It’s 50 times larger than Stonehenge, and in the same breath, 6000 years older. The mysterious people who built Göbekli Tepe not only went to extraordinary lengths they did it with laser-like skill. Then, they purposely buried it and left. The site is located close to the Syrian border, in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, about 12 km (7 mi) northeast of the city of Şanlıurfa. Göbekli Tepe means in English, Pot-Belly Hill. The tell has a height of 15 m (49 ft) and is about 300 m (980 ft) in diameter. It is approximately 760 m (2,490 ft) above sea level. The tell includes two phases of use, believed to be of a social or ritual nature by site discoverer and excavator Klaus Schmidt, dating back to the 10th–8th millennium BCE.[4] During the first phase, belonging to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA), circles of massive T-shaped stone pillars were erected – the world's oldest known megaliths. More than 200 pillars in about 20 circles are currently known through geophysical surveys. Each pillar has a height of up to 6 m (20 ft) and weighs up to 10 tons. They are fitted into sockets that were hewn out of the bedrock. In the second phase, belonging to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB), the erected pillars are smaller and stood in rectangular rooms with floors of polished lime. The site was abandoned after the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB). Younger structures date to classical times. The details of the structure's functi

  • General view of Gobekli Tepe archaeological site in Sanliurfa, Turkey, on July 27, 2019. Gobekli Tepe is the oldest, biggest, and most mysterious archaeological site on the planet. Gobekli Tepe is the oldest megalithic structure ever found on earth. Discovered in modern-day Turkey, and still yet to be fully excavated, it dates to a baffling 12,000 years old. It’s not just the oldest site; it’s also the largest. Situated on a flat, barren plateau, the site is a spectacular 90,000 square meters. That’s bigger than 12 football fields. It’s 50 times larger than Stonehenge, and in the same breath, 6000 years older. The mysterious people who built Göbekli Tepe not only went to extraordinary lengths they did it with laser-like skill. Then, they purposely buried it and left. The site is located close to the Syrian border, in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, about 12 km (7 mi) northeast of the city of Şanlıurfa. Göbekli Tepe means in English, Pot-Belly Hill. The tell has a height of 15 m (49 ft) and is about 300 m (980 ft) in diameter. It is approximately 760 m (2,490 ft) above sea level. The tell includes two phases of use, believed to be of a social or ritual nature by site discoverer and excavator Klaus Schmidt, dating back to the 10th–8th millennium BCE.[4] During the first phase, belonging to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA), circles of massive T-shaped stone pillars were erected – the world's oldest known megaliths.

Then, they purposely buried it and left. The site is located close to the Syrian border, in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, about 12 km (7 mi) northeast of the city of Şanlıurfa. Göbekli Tepe means in English, Pot-Belly Hill. The tell has a height of 15 m (49 ft) and is about 300 m (980 ft) in diameter. It is approximately 760 m (2,490 ft) above sea level. The tell includes two phases of use, believed to be of a social or ritual nature by site discoverer and excavator Klaus Schmidt, dating back to the 10th–8th millennium BCE.[4] During the first phase, belonging to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA), circles of massive T-shaped stone pillars were erected – the world's oldest known megaliths. More than 200 pillars in about 20 circles are currently known through geophysical surveys. Each pillar has a height of up to 6 m (20 ft) and weighs up to 10 tons. They are fitted into sockets that were hewn out of the bedrock. In the second phase, belonging to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB), the erected pillars are smaller and stood in rectangular rooms with floors of polished lime. The site was abandoned after the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB). Younger structures date to classical times. The details of the structure's functi
