  1. Footprint of the Earth
    Abijith Soman, India

    An island shaped like a footprint emerges from Kerala’s backwaters, its mangroves tracing the toes and sole of the print. Many of these islands were once mangrove forest before being cleared for coconut plantations — on some, the mangroves are now reclaiming that ground. A quiet mark of where nature is stepping back in.

  3. Monster cabbage! Birsay gardener spills the beans - #Orkney

    A colossal #cabbage which would — quite literally — bowl over the competition at any #horticultural show, has sprouted in a West Mainland #polytunnel.

  6. #Moorea is one of the most popular #islands in French #Polynesia for good reason. It has beautiful white sand #beaches with #turquoise water, good #swimming and #snorkeling and there is a lot to see and do in Moorea. How did you like it? backpackandsnorkel.com/Moorea/

  8. J'ai eu l'occasion de réaliser en live quelques épisodes du Global Sustainable Islands Summit Podcast de SMILO à Gran Canaria cette année. Fallait prendre l'avion donc j'ai hésité, mais je pense pas que ça soit un truc qui m'arrive souvent, c'est pour une bonne cause, et c'est pour le taf, pas pour les vacances. C'était intéressant : youtube.com/watch?v=va2QGRzfIWg

  14. They load all sorts of things (containers, cars, trucks, military vehicles, etc.) onto the ship.

    The route:
    18:00 Kagoshima (Kagoshima New Port)
    05:00 Amami Oshima (Naze Port)
    09:10 Tokunoshima (Kametoku Port)
    11:30 Okinoerabu Island (Wadomari Port)
    13:40 Yoron Island (Yoron Port)
    16:40 Okinawa (Motobu Port)
    19:00 Okinawa (Naha Port)

    So it will be my new home for 25 hours.

  15. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j. #Mauritius will tell Donald #Trump where he can stick that idea - namely, in a part of his anatomy where the Sun never shines. The #Chagos #Islands have first to be returned to #Mauritian #sovereignty in any event, or they couldn't be sold by them. Perhaps Trump will seek to buy them from the #UK, instead - he is, after all, an #imperialist of the worst kind!
