Las Montanas del Fuego

The Canary Islands are volcanic, and sit off the coast of North Africa, though they belong to Spain. Lanzarote is one of the most popular tourist destinations there, but away from the beaches those of us interested in geology can wander over (or overfly) one of the eeriest volcanic landscapes that are easily accessible. Produced by a series of eruptions in 1730-6 from the now dormant Timfaya volcano, the area was designated a national park in 1974 in order to follow the gradual recolonisation of the landscape by life (see https://bit.ly/2y4HXRf).

Video by Bertie Gregory @bertiegregory | A harp seal pup takes its first swimming lesson in the Gulf of St Lawrence, Quebec, Canada. This species has an extraordinary breeding cycle. Females give birth to pups on moving ice floes. They suckle the pup for just 10 to 14 days. During the last few days of this short period, they encourage the pup to get into the water to help them learn to swim (as seen in this video). After the swimming lessons, they abandon the pup. The females then mate with the males that have been waiting nearby, before heading north to their feeding grounds. The pups at two weeks old are left alone with nothing to eat. To see these awesome animals in action, check out my new online series “Wild_Life: The Big Freeze.” Available on National Geographic YouTube and at natgeo.com/wildlife.
