14 DAY TRIAL // While the Solar Impulse (i.e. a sun-powered plane) is getting ready to travel across the United States, one other very green means of transportation is preparing to embark on a rather similar journey.
Long story short, the Tûranor, which also happens to be the world's largest solar-powered boat, will soon sail across the Atlantic. The boast will set sail from Miami this Thursday and head towards Bergen, Norway.
According to Inhabitat, the Tûranor will make several stops along the way (i.e. New York, Boston and Reykjavik, Iceland).
Information shared with the public says that this solar-powered boat's journey across the Atlantic is part and parcel of a green-oriented project known as PlanetSolar DeepWater.
Thus, the boat will enable scientists to carry out experiments along the Gulf Stream and research how climate change and global warming are impacting on the natural world.
