Tunnels have existed for hundreds of years, but there has still never been a tunnel built for full-size ships. Until now. Snøhetta, a world-famous architecture and design firm, has released plans for a 1.7km long tunnel in Norway.

The 254 million euro tunnel would allow ships to swiftly and safely pass under land, cutting travel time significantly. Pretty cool stuff. Via DesignBoom:
