Mount Etna Erupts in Spectacular Display of Lightning & Lava.
After two years of dormancy, Italy's Mount Etna put on a spectacular show Thursday morning. An hourlong eruption began around 3:20 a.m. local time, sending a lava fountain more than 3,000 feet into the air and coating nearby villages in a layer of ash. Although the eruption forced the closure of the nearby Reggio Calabria airport, there were no reports of damage or injury. The eruption also produced a breathtaking phenomenon known as a "dirty thunderstorm," which occurs when lightning appears in the sky directly above an erupting volcano. Scientists believe the dramatic lighting that accompanies certain eruptions is the result of positively charged particles that are ejected from the volcano. A second type of volcanic lighting has been observed to form downwind of the ash plume, but that "plume lighting" is not well-understood.

A speech by HRH The Prince of Wales at The Forests Session of the Lima Paris Action Agenda, Le Bourget, Paris. Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope I am in the right room as this is quite the biggest venue I have ever had to negotiate!
I was enormously touched and flattered to be invited to join you today for this extremely important meeting on forests in the context of the Lima Paris Action Agenda. Perhaps, at this point, I could take the opportunity to pay tribute to the L.P.A.A. Quartet – Peru, France, the Office of the U.N. Secretary General and the U.N.F.C.C.C. – for all their heroic efforts to deliver action on the Agenda? As some of you may perhaps know, for many years I have been deeply concerned about the fate of the world's forests, which was why, in 2007, I established my Prince’s Rainforest Project, now my International Sustainability Unit, to try and create a major partnership between the private , public and N.G.O. sectors to tackle this issue before it is all too late.
The first is on the issue of forest peoples and indigenous peoples.

Against a darkness so dense it seemed to have weight, shooting stars crossed the night sky of Sark. I counted four in 30 minutes. Only a distant cock’s crow, followed by bells tolling from an invisible church, broke the deep silence, reminding me of the coming dawn.
I returned to bed with my head full of wonder. The Channel Island of Sark is a British Crown dependency with around 600 inhabitants – but no cars or street lights. Lesser known than its neighbour of Guernsey, seven miles east, it measures only two square miles. Its claim to fame, though, came in 2011: the International Dark-Sky Association, which encourages global efforts to counteract light pollution, named Sark the world's first Dark Sky Island. And Sark now has another draw for hopeful star gazers: its own observatory, which opened in October 2015. Now, the smell of fresh timber hit me as Annie Dachinger, chair of the Sark Astronomy Society, unlocked the observatory.
Travel - Madagascar's bizarre natural wonder. 31 beautiful sights on this incredible planet. Temples that tower out of mist-cloaked jungles; a herd of wildebeest, one million-strong, trekking across the African plains; a midnight sky filled with stars. There are some things around the world that provide photo-showing rights for decades. We haven't got them all -- in fact we barely scratched the surface. But we have picked out a few of the scenes that, if you're lucky enough to witness them, will invariably leave you spellbound. Let us know what other beautiful sights you've witnessed on your travels in the comments 1.
Sossusvlei Dunes, Namibia Sossusvlei means "the gathering place of water" but you'll need to bring your own if you don't want to dehydrate at this, Namibia's most outstanding attraction. The dunes have developed over millions of years, the result of material flowing from the Orange River into the Atlantic, carried north and returned again to land by the surf.

Trees have very important role in our life. We all know that without them life is not possible on our planet Earth. Since Centuries people are highly dependent on tress for their needs like cook food, shelter and many more things.
According to the Science, people living near the trees have much better and physical strength than people living in urban areas. We all love greenery and want to settle in those places where we have fresh air and trees all around. Now, people are planning to take time and stay in tree houses build all around the world. This is an adventurous experience for people.
So, here we are listing the 10 most amazing and beautiful tree houses from around the world. 1. This is the tallest tree house in Canada. Image Source: 2. The tree has been located in the northern Sweden. Image Source: www.decohubs.com 3. The tree house has been built in the forest of Canada. Image Source: designerdreamhomes.ru 4.

Instead of staying within 2 degrees Celsius, the pledges could still permit warming of up to 3 degrees Celsius, according to a recent United Nations analysis. In Paris, negotiators will attempt to craft a graduated plan that requires each country to revisit and ramp up climate-related commitments every five years. What's not entirely clear yet, however, is exactly how the world will keep emissions in check.
According to a preliminary draft of a potential climate agreement released earlier this year by the UN, the deal could include a commitment to cap emissions, to achieve zero net emissions, to reduce emissions by a predetermined amount or to achieve carbon neutrality -- that decision will ultimately be left up to the negotiators. Climate negations have occurred in various forms for two decades, and although we've inched closer and closer to a universal, legally binding agreement, it has never actually happened.
