    What an amazing project and feat of engineering. Specifically this is mindboggling:

    Drilling and constructing the tunnel will take an estimated six years, and the undertaking has been estimated to amount to 20,000 person-years of labour.

    The whole thing is pretty amazing, but I have to admit that I'm mostly struck by the idea of adding an erratum note to Ticket to Ride: Nordic which allows you to take the Helsinki - Tallinn line by ferry or tunnel.
