Michael Flores+FollowKazakhstan’s Giant ‘Sand Slug’ Might Be Stuck!Spotted from space: a massive sand dune in Kazakhstan shaped like a giant slug! This sandy beast is slowly getting “frozen” in place as plants take over, locking the dunes down. It’s about three times the size of Manhattan and sits way below the surrounding land. If the vegetation keeps spreading, this wild landscape could be stuck like this for good. Nature’s weirdest freeze-frame! #Science #EarthFromSpace #Kazakhstan334Share
James Brady+FollowAfrica’s Giant Silver Mirror from SpaceEver seen a lake turn into a giant silver mirror? Astronauts on the ISS just snapped Lake Iro in Chad glowing like liquid metal, thanks to a rare phenomenon called 'sunglint.' This only happens when the sun, the lake, and the camera are perfectly aligned. Even wilder: scientists think this shimmering lake sits in an ancient meteor crater! Earth is seriously flexing its cosmic side here. Would you visit a place that looks this unreal? #Science #EarthFromSpace #LakeIro330Share
James Brady+FollowSecret Soviet Base Hid Climate-Changing VolcanoesFour volcanoes in a straight line on a remote Russian island—once a secret Soviet sub base—just got outed as the source of a climate-altering eruption 200 years ago! Simushir Island, part of the Kuril chain, was so off-the-grid that scientists only just linked its Zavaritzki volcano to the mysterious 1831 global cooling event. Wild to think a hidden military base and a volcanic blast could literally change the world’s weather! #Volcanoes #EarthFromSpace #KurilIslands #Science10Share
Tamara Jones+FollowLava River Wipes Out a Town!Imagine watching a literal river of fire swallow your hometown—La Palma’s 2021 volcanic eruption did just that. The lava wiped out Todoque, destroyed thousands of buildings, and unleashed toxic gases that still haunt the island. Locals had to evacuate, and even now, some say they can smell sulfur when it rains. The eruption even made a new chunk of land! Wild to think one event could change everything for years. Would you ever go back? #LaPalma #VolcanoEruption #EarthFromSpace #NaturePower #DisasterRecovery #Science00Share
