I would imagine a sports strap would be a good idea.

Thay are a Single-vision bifocal lenses glasses called TruFocals. They sell for $895.
With a flip of a switch they are either for reading or for viewing at distance.

Like me.I think astronauts have went into space with glasses.But contacts could be another option.

As a contact lenses user, I would'nt put those before sealing myself in an EVA suit. If the lens slides or some grain of dust trapped under it becomes irritating after a few hours, that would be a nightmare. Glasses are a more reliable option ;)

Wearing glasses in 0G requires a special tight fixation I guess, conventionnal glasses use gravity to hold in place.

These are also an option. They stay in place and are impact proof. I would wear them when I used to play sports.

It has something carved in it, doesn't it?


Sorry missed that part. Yes it has some ancient writing carved into it and that massive block is the ''witches chair''. The story was passed down for a while.
It goes:

The king of the area told the witch that if she could jump from hill to hill carry a sack of rocks she could have all the land that you can see from on top of cairn ''t'' (last photo). When on the last jump she fell and broke her leg and the stones feel on her making the cairns :p. Yeah stupid.

But another weird part is that their is 3 massive spider's (unknown type) that have been their for as long as people have seen them. 200+ years.

Its a weird place but still very cool :)
