Links We Love: July 11, 2015 – FathomHQ's Top Picks Post-Global Travels

What we're clicking on and talking about this week at #FathomHQ, now that we're back from our global wanderings.

I've just come home from spending a month in London, which is having a playful summer. To wit: The elegant, pedigreed, very schmancy Berkeley Hotel in London is offering hula hoop fitness classes on their beautiful roof. You have until October to shake your stuff. – Pavia, founder

Radio station WNYC is mapping out the longest subway routes you can take in NYC. So far, there's a 154-mile ride from the Bronx to Rockaway with 54 transfers! You can check out what that one-swipe ride looks like here. – Jeralyn, co-founder

Nearby, the Serpentine Gallery Pavillion is a whimsical design by Spanish architects selgascano. – Pavia

Yet another reason to visit Iceland: The world's largest man-made ice tunnel just opened and will bring visitors 550 meters into solid glacier ice. – Becky, editorial assistant

Connect with someone who lives in North Korea through the new Kickstarter campaign started by our pals (and Fathom contributors) at Uri Tours. – Berit, editor

I was just in the Caribbean, so I'm thinking equatorial thoughts. The Panama Canal is getting bigger, like double-its-current-capacity bigger. I'm fascinated by the photos of the massive undertaking. – Becky

On a recent trip to Paris, I was totally enthralled with the city's beautiful French blue doors. In a similar vein, I recently came across Windows of the World, a blog devoted to the striking window styles found throughout the world. – Berit

I'm back from an incredible family vacation in Sicily. A Literary Guide for Travelers was my guide. It contains no maps or listings or restaurant recommendations, but traces nearly every writer and scribe who wound up there in the last 3,000 years. – Jeralyn
