In the Northern Mariana Islands, a 200 m long plume of discoloured water was recorded by satellite above Ahyi Seamount on 11 July. This could be due to vigorous hydrothermal activity or an effusive eruption. The volcano's ACC and VAL have been raised to YELLOW.

Guest Videos: Yellowstone’s Human History
We've been looking at Yellowstone through the lens of geoscience, and will continue to do so, but the area's human history is rich and varied, too. Let's check that out today, only briefly but perhaps as a helpful springboard for your own explorations. While reading up on Yellowstone, I learned that they have found at least one arrowhead from around 11,000 years ago -- right after the last ice age ended!

Guest Videos: Jaguarundis *Are* Cats
This otter-like little American wild cat is no stranger to the blog, but it is a strange-looking little critter. For instance, can you tell the difference between the jaguarundi and the weasel-like tayra on this Brazilian trail-camera video? The jaguarundi has kittens with her -- loud kittens! Here is another video from Brazil that definitely shows the jaguarundi's feline nature:

Guest Videos: Jordan’s Desert Wolf
Well, Arabian wolves -- smallest of the world's gray wolf subspecies -- are native to various places besides Jordan. But they are rare and their numbers are dwindling. Perhaps, like me, you aren't very familiar with Jordan the country, versus Jordan the name in international news. Here is someone's vlog of a trip to one of Jordan's biosphere reserves (link does not equal endorsement; it came up in a general search and I liked it):

Guest Videos: Jungle Cat Sightings
From everything I have read while doing the cat eBooks, our friend Chaus is thriving in many parts of southern to southeastern Eurasia and even into northern Africa and the Middle East. And yet there are very few images and videos of this cat in the wild. It helps to be relatively small, and of course, ALL cats are slinky, but Chaus seems to be a master of elusiveness.

Volcanoes are agents of chaos. That's what it feels like to us, anyway, when seemingly eternal landscapes abruptly break open -- How it began: 🌋🌋🌋 How it went: This is the La Palma eruption of 2021, with lavafalls down sidewalk steps, buildings collapsing onto lava, lava pouring into a swimming pool -- just so much lava flowing through a densely populated countryside!
