Landslide Buries Valley of the Geysers

Published June 20, 2007

Geysers are a rare natural phenomena found only in a few places, such as New Zealand, Iceland, the United States (Yellowstone National Park), and on Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. On June 3, 2007, one of these rare geyser fields was severely damaged when a landslide rolled through Russia’s Valley of the Geysers. The landslide—a mix of mud, melting snow, trees, and boulders—tore a scar on the land and buried a number of geysers, thermal pools, and waterfalls in the valley. It also blocked the Geyser River, causing a new thermal lake to pool upstream.

Aquatic Plants Choke Lake Olomega

Published June 10, 2007

Water hyacinth, or Eichornia crassipes, ranks among the world’s most productive plants. Unfortunately, it has also proven to be one of the most troublesome. In 2006 in El Salvador’s Lake Olomega, where the aquatic plants are known locally as “ninfa” (the nymphs), they interfered with tourism, fishing, and even human health.
