In less than 24 hours, a good portion of the globe has been hit with a number of natural disasters. Unfortunately for them, the worst of it hasn’t even happened yet.
Yesterday, Chile was hit by an 8.8 earthquake—one of the worst ever recorded. Homes, highways and bridges were torn apart and at least 214 people [...]
More pieces of ice are floating around the world and those pieces are getting bigger every year.
The Luxembourg-sized B9B iceberg collided with the floating Mertz Glacier, resulting in another large piece of ice breaking off the glacier. How large is it? The new iceberg is approximately 48 miles (78 km) long and 24 miles (39 [...]
