After almost three weeks in the dark, 12 Thai boys and their coach, were rescued from a cave deep underneath the mountains that form the Thai-Burmese border.

Its entrance is broad, like a cathedral door, and during the rainy season the humidity pours out of it like steam.

Why Is Ice Cream So Expensive? Here's What The Artisanal Kind Requires.
