It’s no longer just the giant garbage island that threatens my space: Oxygen-sucking algae are blooming in the Baltic due to farm fertilizers and overfishing—and new efforts to stop the disaster may be too late, says NatGeo experts.
I guess it’s a mixed find. I would really have liked to have been able to dive through this: “Severe droughts have drained a reservoir in Venezuela, exposing a church that’s been “missing” since 1985.”
Back in January, we showed you the incredible photos that Frank took while visiting the island of Petite Tabac. You might recognize it as one of the islands used in “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Here is a KML file to fly you directly to the island so you can see it for yourself.
