Guatemala’s Volcán de Fuego is one of Central America’s most active volcanoes. A group of visitors recently had a narrow escape when an eruption hurled lava fragments into the surrounding area.

Pouca gente sabe o motivo real de nenhum barco chegar perto. Quando o gelo cai, blocos gigantescos que estavam escondidos submersos disparam para a superfície com uma força absurda pela pressão da água, empurrando tudo no caminho. O perigo real sempre vem de baixo.
¡#FelizMiércoles! Probable #OlaDeCalor a partir del 20-21 de #junio2026, coincidiendo con inicio del #verano astronómico. Todo apunta a que volverán a caer récords. Se notará en gran parte de #España y #Francia, convirtiéndose en "sucursales" del Sahara, latiendo al mismo ritmo.
So much rain has already fallen in Texas that kayaking might just be the best way to get around! The surge of tropical moisture will bring additional heavy downpours this week, raising the flood threat on already saturated grounds.

A massive underwater volcano located off the coast of Oregon could erupt as soon as tomorrow, or it may not happen for several more months.
Axial Seamount lies nearly one mile (1.4 kilometers) beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean and spans several miles across the seafloor. In recent weeks, scientists have observed the volcano inflating as magma rises beneath it, accompanied by hundreds of earthquakes per day, clear warning signs that an eruption may be imminent.
Situated approximately 300 miles (480 kilometers) west of Oregon, Axial Seamount sits along the boundary where two tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart.
Despite the increasing activity, researchers emphasize that the exact timing remains impossible to predict.
"It could be tomorrow," said University of Washington geophysicist William Wilcock.
Even if it erupts, people on land are unlikely to notice anything unusual. Unlike explosive land volcanoes such as Mount St. Helens, Axial Seamount typically produces gentle, slow-moving lava flows that spread across the ocean floor. During its last eruption in 2015, the volcano released lava that traveled roughly 25 miles (40 kilometers) underwater and triggered around 10,000 earthquakes in a single day.
The immense pressure from nearly a mile of seawater prevents violent explosions and towering ash plumes, resulting in relatively calm underwater eruptions.
What makes Axial Seamount truly remarkable is its thriving ecosystem. Hydrothermal vents on the volcano release mineral-rich hot water that supports vibrant communities of microbes, tubeworms, and other creatures that do not rely on sunlight for survival.
Previous eruptions have buried sections of these ecosystems under fresh lava, yet scientists have watched life rebound with remarkable speed, often returning and flourishing within just a few months.
Studying Axial Seamount gives researchers a unique opportunity to understand how new oceanic crust is formed, how underwater volcanoes operate, and possibly how life first emerged on Earth.
The next eruption could also mark a historic milestone: scientists are preparing to livestream the event in real time, offering the world a front-row seat to witness an underwater volcanic eruption as it unfolds.

In the North Atlantic Ocean, south of Greenland and Iceland, a large patch of water is doing something strange. While the rest of the ocean heats up, it’s been getting colder - cooling by 1.8ºF since 1900. https://t.co/fDS159T64V
