The strange rock formation called Elephant Head in Antarctica is the focus of a paper by Chris McKay and friends. Chris studied it as an example of dry permafrost, ground containing no ice and permanently below 0° C. It is an analog to similar terrains on Mars.

One of my my my brothers took this picture yesterday. It snowed overnight too.

Strawberries for breakfast.

Enkesha's Keepers describe her as a "Teachers Pet". She is always seeking them out - and a clever girl for it when she knows there's a snack to be found! Wondering about her trunk? We've shared more about what happened to her here: https://t.co/HnIWMIphq9

Oatmeal and strawberries for dinner, why not?

Elephants adhere to a natural hierarchy based on maturity and, accordingly, it looks like 11 year old orphan Panda has pulled rank and laid claim to the water trough!

@TheBlakeMorgan @Spotify This may also be in furtherance of more parochial objectives closer to home.

This big boy is Challa. It's hard to believe that 15 years ago, he was a starving orphan baby elephant tangled among a herd of cattle. Dedicated daily care, lots of milk and 24/7 protection ensured he survived to become a majestic bull: https://t.co/R8dfyNe6Ez

Always wanted a straw roof but couldn't afford it? Use the Northern Scandinavian (Sweden, Finland) technique: by far the cheapest and easiest method of thatching a roof. Ten men (beginners and one instructor) can gather and build a roof in a two room cottage in three days.

I like the message here, but this place is in absolute bits ecologically.

Other than mosses, all accessible vegetation has been stripped out by too many deer or other grazers. It's a dying forest.

We need to (re?)acquire the ability to 'read' the health of ecosystems.

@RMcGreevy1301 Collins had been getting death threats for years. Not to mention episodes like Castlebar & Dungarvan. “Not gonna run when the battle gets hot, not gonna run when I hear the shots…".

Found this photo in our photographic archives, Irish Civil War, 1922, a man taking up a firing position on a street. Location? looks like it's near Trinity College #Dublin.
