Yellow stone national park

Have you ever thought of going to a park were underneath it theirs a huge volcano that can erupt at any given time? In Wyoming there lies yellow stone national park home to thousands of wildlife animals. The park has over 6 million acres of land and is home to many of the worlds largest concentration of geysers and thermal features. Yellow stone is also home to varieties of volcanoes and hot springs that the park has to offer.Under Yellowstone national park there is one of the biggest volcanoes that is still active to this day. The last time the volcano erupted was 600,000 years go and people still don't know when the next eruption will be. Due to the high thermal energy that the volcano has it is able to heat up springs of water called geysers that shot up water into the sky due to the build up of steam. Yellowstone is also home to many different waterfalls containing at least 45 named waterfalls and cascades. Thousand of people go to the park each day to enjoy the beauty of yellow stone national park.

On the night of April 20 a surge of natural gas blasted through a concrete core recently installed by contractor Halliburton in order to seal the well for later use.11 people were killed and 17 were injured. On April 22 the rig capsized and sank. Oil began to leak out from the bottom of the rig.The cement at the bottom of the borehole did not create a seal, and oil and gas began to leak through it into the pipe leading to the surface. Since there was no gas alarm the crew had no idea about the gases rising. 4,900,000 barrels of oil had leaked into the gulf. Birds and fish get covered in a layer of oil. A ton of fish, snails, snakes, dolphins, whales, and birds have been majorly affected. As a result oil was washed up and people had to clean it up. It was hard to remove the oil because currents will move the oil around. On shore the workers removed the oil manually.

Sir David Attenborough

David Attenborough is wildlife and native explorer.  He was born on May 8, 1926, in Middlesex, England.  He was very interested in nature at a very young age collecting fossils, stones, and natural specimens.  Members of his family supported and encouraged him.  When he was 10, he and his brother went to see Archibald Belaney, who is a conservative of nature.  Attenborough was very moved and influenced by the showing and speaking of Archibald Belaney.  He studied geology and zoology as well as natural sciences at Clare College in Cambridge in 1945.  Two years later in 1947, Attenborough was called up for national service in the Royal Navy.

After leaving the Navy, Attenborough took a job editing children's science textbooks.  After he became disenchanted with his work, he applied for a position as a radio talk producer for media company BBC.  He was denied the position but was offered a position in television service at BBC.  He became a producer instead of being in front of the camera because he thought that his teeth were too big.

    Attenborough produced, narrated, and filmed a total of 43 films.  His most known films were Civilisation, Zoo Quest, Life on Earth, The Blue Planet, and The People of Paradise.  These films exposed different animals and plants as well as people. He introduced the dumbo octopus, which is one of the deepest living sea creatures living at 13,100 below the surface of the ocean.  He captured the Komodo dragon, mountain gorilla, and many other plants and animals that were not known to the public view.  Attenborough wanted to raise awareness of people’s culture and living.  In the film, The People of Paradise, Attenborough films the indigenous people from Figi, Tongo, and other areas. He shed light on their rituals and routines and their different lifestyle.
    Attenborough helped shaped environmental science by documenting rare animals, exposing viewers to different species of life, and being an advocate for conservation by making climate change, habitat loss, and global warming more evident through filming over the years.
    Attenborough’s had many accomplishments in his career as a producer and conservative. He received 32 honorary degrees from many different universities in Great Britain.  He has had plants and animals named after him such as Acisoma Attenboroughi and Prethopalus Attenboroughi.  He was referred to as the “greatest broadcaster of our time”, “the peerless educator” and many more references.

Chernobyl Nuclear Meltdown

Chernobyl is located in the Ukraine and it is most known for a massive nuclear meltdown that happened on April 26, 1986. The plant operators decided to run multiple test on the reactor, however one of their safety systems backfired on them as they ran the reactor at a low level and that caused a massive steam explosion. The masses of fission products floated in the air causing other parts in the Ukraine to become radioactive. This results in the town to be evacuated and no one has came back ever since. Chernobyl is notorious for being a ghost town and that’s what people associate it as. After the disaster the current radioactive environment is home to numerous animals that have turned it into their home.

Chernobyl is also famous for being featured as one of the maps on Call of Duty. It’s reputation of being a “ghost town” has attracted tourist throughout its time. The guides always warn the tourists to be aware of radioactive places and wild animals.
