It takes skill to build a successful bonfire—or perhaps just a lot of lighter fluid—but you'd need to be a real pro to light one that could top the biggest bonfire ever recorded. On June 25, 2016, after three months of construction, the world's largest bonfire was lit in Ålesund, Norway. It burned for two days and reached a height of 155 feet and 5.9 inches, according to

If you want to see the Eiffel Tower in all of its glory, then you may want to head to Paris in the summer. That's because the 1,062-foot monument is more than six inches taller in the heat, thanks to thermal expansion, which causes the iron structure to literally grow, according to the Los Angeles Times. But make sure you go during the day if you want the highest experience, because once the sun sets, the tower begins to shrink again.

If you're an avid stargazer, you'll be excited to learn that the most visible annual meteor shower takes place in the summer, according to NASA. Active between July 14 and Aug. 24, the Perseids shower peaks around mid-August. At that time, up to 100 meteors will streak across the sky every hour at a speed of 37 miles per second. The Perseids are best viewed in the Northern Hemisphere during the pre-dawn hours, so you might want to schedule an early morning adventure to get the best look!

And that's a really, really good thing. Thanks to cleaner waters, which are a result of several environmental policies—including the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Marine Mammal Protection Act—the number of whales (mostly humpbacks) spotted in the waters off New York City has risen from just five sightings in 2010 to 272 in 2018, according to the non-profit Gotham Whale.

There are plenty of music festivals to check out in the summer. But if you want to experience something truly unique, then head to the Underwater Music Festival at Looe Key Reef in Florida. Held annually for more than three decades, the festival includes a pre-selected radio playlist that is streamed live from underwater speakers to an audience of snorkelers and divers.

No matter how epic your summer BBQ, it probably can't beat the longest one ever. Over the course of 80 hours (or 3.3 days), grillmaster Jan Greef of Columbus, Georgia, cooked up 1,000 hot dogs, 558 burgers, 526 boerewors (South African sausage), 104 pieces of chicken, and 200 pieces of corn. He set the record on Apr. 27, 2014, according to Guinness World Records.

If you notice yourself feeling more chipper in the warmer months, you're definitely not alone. For a 2011 study published in the journal Science, researchers looked at the tweets of some 2.4 million people around the world for two years. They found that when the change in daylight was positive (i.e. in the approach to the summer solstice), people posted significantly happier tweets than they did when the change in daylight was negative (i.e. in the approach to the winter solstice).

The world's largest ship, Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas, is composed of 18 decks and is around 1,200 feet long. A football playing field is 100 yards, which is 300 feet, making the ship four times the size of the turf where your favorite team plays!

This phrase wasn't inspired by lethargic, overheated pups. The "dog" in question is Sirius the Dog Star, which rises in the sky during late July as a part of the Greater Dog constellation, according to National Geographic. To the Greeks and Romans, the "dog days" indicated the hottest time of the year, a period that was said to bring fever and other types of catastrophe.
