Furka Pass

Furka Pass is a 2,436 m (7,969 ft) high mountain pass in the southern Swiss Alps connecting Gletsch, Valais with Realp, Uri via the seasonal Furkapassroute.

The Furka Oberalp Bahn bypasses the pass through the 1,390 m (4,560 ft) high Furka Base Tunnel, which opened in 1982 to replace the seasonal Furka Summit Tunnel tunnel at 2,160 metres (7,090 ft).

The Furka Pass was used as a location in the James Bond film Goldfinger, a curve of which is marked as "James Bond Strasse", complete with lookout point and small parking area. Near the western summit of the pass is the Hotel Belvédère; a short walk from it leads to the Rhône Glacier Ice Grotto. The glacier moves 30–40 meters a year, and the 100 meter long tunnel and ice chamber can be visited from June when the road opens

فرکا پاس جنوبی سوئس الپس میں ایک 2,436 میٹر (7,969 فٹ) اونچا پہاڑی درہ ہے جو گلیش، والیس کو ریئلپ، اوری سے موسمی فرکاپاس روٹ کے ذریعے جوڑتا ہے۔

فرکا اوبرالپ باہن 1,390 میٹر (4,560 فٹ) اونچی فرکا بیس ٹنل سے گزرتا ہے، جو 1982 میں موسمی فرکا سمٹ ٹنل کی جگہ 2,160 میٹر (7,090 فٹ) پر کھولی گئی تھی۔

فرکا پاس کو جیمز بانڈ کی فلم گولڈ فنگر میں ایک مقام کے طور پر استعمال کیا گیا تھا، جس کا ایک وکر "جیمز بانڈ سٹراس" کے نام سے نشان زد ہے، جو کہ تلاش کے مقام اور چھوٹے پارکنگ ایریا کے ساتھ مکمل ہے۔ پاس کے مغربی چوٹی کے قریب ہوٹل بیلویڈیر ہے؛ اس سے تھوڑی دوری پر

liquid water discovered on Mars This is the first clear evidence of liquid water, not just frozen ice, discovered on Mars. A groundbreaking discovery published in Science has confirmed that Mars once had liquid water, offering new insights into the planet’s climate and potential for supporting life.  Researchers analyzing data from NASA’s Curiosity rover identified ancient "wave ripples" in rocks at the Gale Crater region, dating back 3.7 billion years. These ripples, formed by wind and water, indicate the presence of a shallow, open-air lake about 2 meters (6.5 feet) deep.  The discovery highlights a time when Mars had a warmer climate and a thicker atmosphere capable of sustaining liquid water — a critical ingredient for life as we know it. This revelation has far-reaching implications for understanding Mars' habitability and planning future missions.  The presence of liquid water raises the possibility that microbial life once thrived on the planet. Additionally, remna...
