A drought-hit Danube gives way to a mammoth fossil hunt in Bulgaria.

As drought in Europe brings river levels to record lows, a group of volunteers scans the dried-up Danube riverbank in northern Bulgaria, not far from where the receding waters revealed mammoth bones in July.

About 20 volunteers join an effort in the hope of discovering new fossils or artifacts.

After #russian #attacks effectively blocked #Ukraine's Black Sea ports, which had handled 90% of the country's #grain #exports, some shipments ​were rerouted through #Danube river ports, which have much lower capacity.

Bulgaria Cuts Kozloduy Nuclear Output as Danube Drought Worsens

Bulgaria reduces capacity at its Kozloduy nuclear plant by 12% due to record-low Danube water levels, the first such cut in the plant's 52-year history.

A Wehrmacht motorbike from the Danube brings the siege of Budapest to life.

Which unit did the Wehrmacht motorbike found near Budapest belong to, and how did it end up in the Danube?

Euronews asked Lt Col Norbert Számvéber, a military historian at the Institute and Museum of Military History, about this rare find.

Ez egy kicsit hosszabb sorozat, aminek szintén a ma tizenhét éves képéből választottam egyet.

Szintén egy ma tizenhét éves kép. A tegnapi folytatása.

Egy csónakból készült, és szintén az a személy ült mögöttem és evezett, aki ma már nincs velünk és nagyon szerettem.

Ez (is) egy másoknak sokat nem mondó fotó(sorozat), de nekem annál többet jelent.

Nagyon szeretem ezért az Immichet, hogy folyamatosan hozza fel a régi szép, és néha kevéssé szép emlékeket.

The #Danube is drying up; unprecedented due to human-caused climate change. All of this gov't nonsense about "carbon-free by 2030...2050..." is incredibly blind: we simply DON'T HAVE TIME.

Destroyed crops, riverbed cyclists and a ‘Rock of Starvation’: how drought has devastated the Danube.

The Guardian travelled 100 miles along the EU’s longest river, where some residents are struggling to secure drinking water.

Ínség-szikla: The rock of starvation “For now, people can do little but cling to the hope that the Rock of Starvation will disappear once more beneath the currents of the Danube, returning to the depths of the river and becoming little more than a legend again. But Somogyi, who grew up hearing the story of the boulder passed down through generations, and who is now witnessing the consequences of the warning it was said to foretell, knows it will not.”

“The drought will return next year,” he said. “That is the trend. And there isn’t much that we can do.”

Romania shuts its nuclear plant while Hungary dams the dry Danube River.

Romania has shut down its only nuclear plant in a rare move prompted by the lack of cooling water from the Danube River.

Hungary, meanwhile, is racing to dam the Danube, trying to keep its Paks plant online.

The annual swarming of burrowing mayflies (Ephoron virgo, Uferaas, dunavirág) has started on the Danube.

They were extinct in Hungary due to water pollution for 40 years and only returned in 2012.
