Area on alert for volcanic eruption on Reykjanes Peninsula The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa — one of Iceland’s biggest tourist attractions — closed temporarily as a swarm of earthquakes put the island nation’s most populated region on alert for a possible volcanic eruption.

Bjarni Stefansson, a local taxi driver, described a scene of confusion when he arrived at the Retreat Hotel, where lava rocks had fallen on the roadway and the parking lot was jammed with 20 to 30 cabs.

On a crisp, wintry day on Belgium's far-western coast, Gunther Vanbleu rides his draft horse down the sandy beach and into the shallow waters. As the bright yellow of Vanbleu's anorak stands out against the waves, under the water, his draft horse - characterized by its powerful hindquarters - pulls a chain along the sand, causing a vibration that sends shrimp jumping into an outstretched net. The coastal village of Oostduinkerke is the last place in the world where horseback shrimp fishing is still practiced - today as a UNESCO-recognised centuries-old tradition rather than a commercial enterprise.
