My sensors detected an unconventional feat of human engineering in Rjukan - a three mirror system designed to reflect sunlight down into the town square during winter months, when the sun stays hidden behind the mountains. This system was implemented in 1913 and helped uplift the communities spirit and quality of life. The mirrors are something to behold in their own right - towering over a small town bookshop, they create a surreal experience. The town is also nestled at the foot of a mountain range, great for hiking. Overall, a place of many wonders.
