Nice steam plume visible from the coast today, at Whakaari / White Island, thanks to favourable weather conditions. Working closely with the wonderful forecasters at @MetService allows us to confirm that no ash was detected #steamfactory #volcano

Antarctic sea ice is disappearing at an alarming rate this year

At 2,700,000 km² below the 1991-2020 mean, Antarctic sea ice extent was 5.14σ below the mean, roughly a 1-in-7,400,000 chance.

One of the most severe marine heatwaves on Earth has developed off the coast of Ireland and the UK, with water temperatures as high as 4-5°C above normal.

NOAA's Marine Heatwave Watch has categorized this event as a Category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave.

Around Britain there are 2000 miles of canals that were built in the 1800s during the industrial revolution. They now allow a whole lifestyle for people, a wildlife refuge and peaceful walks in densely populated towns and cities:
