Alcantara Gorge 15, Francavilla di Sicilia, Sicily, Italy

Several thousand years ago, the river bed was blocked by a lava flow from Mount Etna. As the lava was cooled much more quickly by the water than it would have done otherwise, it crystallised in the form of columns. Over the next millennia, the river naturally eroded a channel through these columns, resulting in impressive gorges and ravines, such as the Alcantara Gorges (Gole dell'Alcantara) next to Francavilla di Sicilia, where the Peloritani mountains end. – Wikipedia

Desert Geology, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California

Desert X is produced by The Desert Biennial, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in California, conceived to produce recurring international contemporary art exhibitions that activate desert locations through site-specific installations by acclaimed international artists. Its guiding purposes and principles include presenting public exhibitions of art that respond meaningfully to the conditions of desert locations, the environment and Indigenous communities; promoting cultural exchange and education programs that foster dialogue and understanding among cultures and communities about shared artistic, historical, and societal issues; and providing an accessible platform for artists from around the world to address ecological, cultural, spiritual, and other existential themes.

A year ago this week I was with a team conducting research in the Scărişoara Ice Cave, #romania. This spectacular place contains #ice dating back more than 10,000 years! This unique archive holds valuable information about past #climate variability in this region. Some of the interesting work that has been done in this cave is reported here: nature.com/articles/s41598-017… Photo by M. Blatnik. #caves #caving #geology #earthscience #environment
