1. The document describes several modern engineering marvels including the largest wind farm in the world located off the coast of Denmark with 80 turbines each 110 meters tall capable of producing 160 MW of energy. 2. It also discusses the seasonal ice road between Tibbitt and Contwoyto in Canada that operates during the coldest months of the year when the ice is strong enough to support trucks transporting loads of up to 70 tons across 500km of frozen lakes. 3. Additionally, it mentions the largest ship in the world used to transport huge loads like oil rigs and military radar that is able to submerge itself to allow other ships to dock on top of it and then rise up out of the

- 1. 1. Wind farm in the middle of the ocean Miracles of the 21 st century
- 2. 20 km from the coast of Denmark , you will find “ Horns Rev”, the biggest wind farm in the world . 80 turbines 110 m tall, capable of 160 MW
- 3. The fins are 30 m long .
- 6. 2. Fantasy road that exists part of the time Miracles of the 21 st century
- 7. . The highway between Tibbitt and Contwoyto in Canada . Most dangerous road in the world . It is over 500km long and consist of 85% frozen lakes. The ice can break at any time. Arctic highway
- 8. This road can only operate / come into effect during the coldest months of the year . When the ice becomes strong enough every year the road is made. Here is a series of truck on the ice – each 70 τ ons.
- 9. Some people try and push their luck at the end of the season – but in the end nature has the final say.
- 10. 3. Colossus of the sea . Miracles of the 21 st century
- 11. The biggest ship in the world . Used for the heaviest, and biggest of things needing transport
- 12. Oil Rigs transported off-shore …
- 13. … Oil refinery … a whole Military Radar …
- 15. How it can be loaded at sea ; 1. It sinks under the water … The ships park on top … 3. And then it raises itself !! SIMPLU, NU ?
- 16. 4. Modern ways to control water . ( a water highway ;) Miracles of the 21 st century
- 17. The bridge “Magdeburg” (Germany) – you need to look at it a number of times to understand what is actually happening . It’s a bridge that goes over the Elba river. It allows boats easy access into canals . It cost more than 500 million Euros and took 6 years to build
