The Blue-Ringed Octopus blends in like a phantom with its muted rings. Once it starts moving around though, it is hard to ignore. The bright blue and flashing rings make it a very popular subject for underwater photographers. Is this one of the critters you have on your wish list?
Watch out guys and gals.. we've got a badass over here! This is Pedro Oliva, a professional Kayaker, and yes, that is lava. Oliva and his team, which includes extreme sports photographer Alexandre Socci, captured these images while rowing along the waters surrounding the active volcano, Kilauea, in Hawaii; as you do.. The water was near boiling point and at one point Pedro's oar even caught fire. Was this stunt worth the risk? That's a matter of opinion, but one thing is for sure, the resulting images are pretty awesome. -Jean See more images here: http://whenonearth.net/kayak-along-active-volcano/
The language in here is a bit NSFW. Here you can watch a very dangerous oil well blowout. Original caption:
talkoilandgas It's one thing to have a blowout when drilling a well, it is another thing to have a blowout from a "live well"; producing oil. This is a video clip of a crew on a workover rig trying to cap the blowout. The fluid you see rushing out of the well is actually oil and not drilling mud. This is a very delicate scenario as any spark could have resulted in an explosion.
Walk out onto Trolltunga, Troll’s Tongue, Norway
Close up video of erupting volcano, with lava bombs and ash flying into the air. Not sure I’d be as close as some of those crowds.
This is a rather impressive drive, Kotsifou Canyon, on the island of Crete. Much of Crete is uplifted limestones and I think this canyon likely is as well.
