I've left #Iceland now, but at some point during the summer I was spending a lot of time with this lake. The shallows were full of tiny fish, then, without any warning, it plummeted deeper than my depth into murky darkness with long tendrils of water weed obscuring where the bottom might have been.

Du solltest den Skógafoss nicht nur von unten bestaunen, sondern dich auch nach oben begeben. Eine Treppe führt hinauf. Wir jedenfalls kämpfen uns Stufe um Stufe nach oben. Dort angekommen werden wir dafür mit einem fantastischen Ausblick auf den Skógafoss und die umliegende Gegend belohnt und beobachten, wie das Wasser tosend hinabstürzt.

Photography. A color photo of a small island in Croatia in dark water. On the island there are fir trees and monastery buildings with red tiled roofs. But the special thing you can see in the photo is the bright rock at the bottom, jutting deep into the water like a triangle, visible through the clear water. Extraordinarily beautiful.
Info: The Island has an oval shape about the size of 170 × 120 meters island is part of the Krka National Park. It was developed into a monastery by Franciscan monks in the 15th century and can be visited for half an hour.

Der Skógafoss in Island ist ein 25 Meter breiter Wasserfall, bei dem das Wasser aus einer Höhe von 62 Metern laut rauschend hinabfällt. Die Menschen, die sich für ein Selfie vor dem Skógafoss aufstellen, wirken vor dem Wassergiganten wie kleine Zinnfiguren.

An outdoor, daylight photograph of a pair of birds in a mangrove bush. One bird has only black feathers on its body and a bright orange face. It is closer and looking in the direction of the camera, but focused more upward. The second bird has a dark brown back and a light brown chest with a long, light-orange beak. It is looking away from the camera while perched in the bush. The bush is surrounded by water, and a dense collection of mangroves, bushes with many limbs and branches, but often only small, oval, green leaves at the ends.

The seas around #Florida and the Caribbean were home to many #pirates and #privateers, especially as Spain tried to return the treasures it took from the Americas back to Europe.
However, instead of using the stolen loot to buy things needed for supply and repair for their ships; legends constantly insist that they #buried their booty on this #island, Little Money Key, or maybe Money Key, or maybe a different island, or maybe any “money” on these keys was a myth to begin with.

Island erlaubt ab September die Jagd auf Finnwale wieder. Patrick Ramage von der Tierschutzorganisation IFAW glaubt dennoch, dass es genau deshalb bald zu einem dauerhaften Ende des Walfangs kommen wird. Warum, lest ihr hier: https://www.riffreporter.de/de/umwelt/tierschutz-wale-umwelt-artenschutz-jagd-island-finnwal 

#Island #Tierschutz #Walfang #Finnwal

"Dass der Fang für #Island|s Volkswirtschaft weder wirtschaftlich relevant noch in den letzten 10 Jahren ökonomisch rentabel war, hatte eine kürzlich veröffentlichte Studie gezeigt." #Walfang ist echt ein Elend.

Falling foul of a standard #Scotland #island life situation - we're booked on the next, and final for the day, ferry from #Skye back to the mainland and it's been cancelled.

On the plus side, this isn't the end of the world - we can take the bridge over the Kyle of Lochalsh and drive three sides of a rather large square. We're not actually stranded.

On the minus side, it seems the operators knew this was happening when we got the ferry out this morning, and nobody said a bloody thing to us!

#tourists are getting #trapped on "Shark Island" requiring rescues, per Cape Lookout National Seashore. " In the last two weeks, we have had two separate incidents of visitors crossing to Shark Island at low tide and becoming trapped as the tide rises behind them." #shark #island #darwin https://www.facebook.com/CapeLookoutNPS/posts/pfbid0T75FfbrD4bF5ffuH3tifkov6fqRRDqTVPdKru6zpAjz9Hfbv6bA8nJiLk32TSD1Rl

Safety PSA:

While the converging currents at the southern tip of Cape Lookout are incredibly beautiful, they are best observed from a distance!

Recently, the gap in between Shark Island and Cape Lookout has begun to connect with a narrow bar of sand during the lowest of low tides. In the last two weeks, we have had two separate incidents of visitors crossing to Shark Island at low tide and becoming trapped as the tide rises behind them. These situations have resulted in first responders from multiple agencies being dispatched to conduct complex rescues to safely remove them.

In addition to the risk of entrapment, the waters south of Cape Lookout can be incredibly dangerous due to shifting and converging currents. Getting caught by a rising tide while travelling on foot through this narrow band of sand could quickly sweep someone off their feet and out to sea.

Image Credit: Google Maps

Image Description: A satellite image of Cape Lookout shows a sandy beach coming to a sharp point jetting southward. A small island can be seen to the south of that point, and a red arrow indicates the area between the island and the point.
