It actually took a little while to formulate that title. This is awesome.

Nyiragongo Crater

Excellent photo, although the “lake” looks more like a paddling pool, right? Click through, and start scrolling. Pause for a moment on pic 20.

The words you’re looking for are “holy fucking shit”.

Time Lapse Antarctica

25/01/2011

BoingBoing: The Akademik Fyodorov is a Russian research ship that’s been to both the North Pole*, and to Antarctica. This time-lapse video packs an entire 201-day Antarctic expedition into 10 minutes, starting in Cape Town, South Africa, and traveling around the coastline of the Frozen Continent.

What happens? There’s a lot of ice breaking—during which the Akademik Fyodorov seems to beach itself like a whale before backing up and ramming the ice again—and a lot of loading and unloading of cargo. It looks like the boat’s mission was to resupply several inland research stations. At one point, a helicopter unloads the coffin of a man who died in a fire at one of those stations. The Akademik Fyodorov shipped his body back home.

There are frolicking penguins, the construction of an entire airplane, and (at about 7:19) the construction on an on-deck swimming pool, which is quickly filled with frolicking Russians.

With a coin operated doorbell. Bring it up to date, make it a euro or two. Or billion.

BoingBoing

Usually I’d share the elephant videos with the elephant-obsessed wifelet privately, but these are brilliant. If you’re at work, or just squeamish, you probably don’t want to load the first one, although you could load the second, it’s cute. The birth is incredible though, I actually cheered along and applauded. :)
