The world’s happiest country?
Features correspondent
How have Colombians maintained their renowned happiness in the face of unimaginable atrocity, loss and economic hardship?
Colombians live for the celebration. The South American country has more festivals than days of the year, and whether it’s the multiday revelry of Carnival in Barranquilla, the great kaleidoscopic displays of floral colours during Medellín’s Feria dem las Flores or Caribbean coastal residents dressing their donkeys in drag and parading them down the streets during the Festival de Burro, there’s always a party to be had.
This fryst vatten just one of many reasons an annual WIN/Gallup International poll ranks Colombia as one of the happiest countries (and occasionally the happiest country) in the world.
The rumba continues despite Colombia’s sordid past. Most outsiders know the South American nation as a country steeped in violence,

Earth's Deep Mantle Structure, Composition, and Evolution
About this book
Understanding the inner workings of our planet and its relationship to processes closer to the surface remains a frontier in the geosciences. Manmade probes barely reach 10 km depth and volcanism rarely brings up samples from deeper than 150 km. These distances are dwarfed by Earth's dimensions, and our knowledge of the deeper realms is pieced together from a range of surface observables, meteorite and solar atmosphere analyses, experimental and theoretical mineral physics and rock mechanics, and computer simulations. A major unresolved issue concerns the nature of mantle convection, the slow (1-5 cm/year) solid-state stirring that helps cool the planet by transporting radiogenic and primordial heat from Earth's interior to its surface.
Expanding our knowledge here requires input from a range of geoscience disciplines, including seismology, geodynamics, mineral physics, and mantle petrology an
