  • Oscars 2017: Australian movie Tanna nominated for best foreign language film , Tanna, set in the tiny South Pacific nation of Vanuatu, <br />
these amazing images inside the tiny Island set to win an Oscar<br />
<br />
Very few people had ever heard of Vanuatu until very recently. Some have heard of it in reference to being a « tax heaven » such as Luxembourg or Singapore. Others knew of it is an archipelago located in the South Pacific Ocean. To the north-east of Australia, 110 different languages are spoken in Vanuatu. <br />
<br />
Then almost instantaneously, Vanuatu became known across the world when hurricane Pam hit. Winds at 340 km/h battered the 83 islands, making headlines around the world. 80 % of the homes, vegetation, and the farms were destroyed. But miraculously, less than 20 people perished. <br />
<br />
Scientists attribute the low body count to their unique melanesian culture. The inhabitants of Vanuatu, the « Ni-Vanuatu », have lived on these small islands for centuries and have retained many of their original customs, or « kustom », as they refer to them.<br />
<br />
The island which holds culture in highest regard is Ambrym. Setting foot there in 1774, Ambrym owes its name to Captain Cook. Ambrym means « here are yams ». <br />

Very few people had ever heard of Vanuatu until very recently. Some have heard of it in reference to being a « tax heaven » such as Luxembourg or Singapore. Others knew of it is an archipelago located in the South Pacific Ocean. To the north-east of Australia, 110 different languages are spoken in Vanuatu. <br />
<br />
Then almost instantaneously, Vanuatu became known across the world when hurricane Pam hit. Winds at 340 km/h battered the 83 islands, making headlines around the world. 80 % of the homes, vegetation, and the farms were destroyed. But miraculously, less than 20 people perished. <br />

The island which holds culture in highest regard is Ambrym. Setting foot there in 1774, Ambrym owes its name to Captain Cook. Ambrym means « here are yams ». <br />

these amazing images inside the tiny Island set to win an Oscar<br />
<br />
Very few people had ever heard of Vanuatu until very recently. Some have heard of it in reference to being a « tax heaven » such as Luxembourg or Singapore. Others knew of it is an archipelago located in the South Pacific Ocean. To the north-east of Australia, 110 different languages are spoken in Vanuatu. <br />
<br />
Then almost instantaneously, Vanuatu became known across the world when hurricane Pam hit. Winds at 340 km/h battered the 83 islands, making headlines around the world. 80 % of the homes, vegetation, and the farms were destroyed. But miraculously, less than 20 people perished. <br />

  • 20-Year-Old Inventor’s Idea For How To Make Ocean Clean Itself Will Be Launched In Japan<br />
<br />
Boyan Slat, a 20-year-old innovator in the Netherlands, has a lot on his plate – he’s set out to do nothing less than rid the oceans of the millions of tons of plastic garbage that circle along their currents. And judging by the support that has rallied behind his novel approach to the problem, there’s a good chance he just might succeed.<br />
The massive rotating currents in the world’s oceans make collecting or even monitoring garbage difficult, but Slat’s Ocean Cleanup Foundation is developing a way to use those currents to its advantage. Slat envisions long-distance arrays of floats that would skim garbage from the surface while allowing aquatic life and the currents themselves to pass by underneath. The company estimates that a 100km stationary cleanup array could remove 42% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch over 10 years, representing a total of 70,320,000kg of plastic waste. For now, they’re installing a 2,000m trial system in Japan, which will become the longest floating structure in the world when completed.<br />
The 2,000m floating line will become the longest floating structure in the world when it’s deployed in 2016, It is the first stage in 20-year-old Boyan Slat’s plan to rid the oceans of floating plastic waste, The plan involves targeting rotating ocean currents full of waste and skimming the trash from them, His goal is to eventually build a 100km floating array that could collect 70,320,000kg of plastic waste over 10 years, Slat estimates that this method would cost roughly 4.53 euros (5.04 USD) per kilogram, which is only 3% of the cost of other potential clean-up methods<br />

The massive rotating currents in the world’s oceans make collecting or even monitoring garbage difficult, but Slat’s Ocean Cleanup Foundation is developing a way to use those currents to its advantage. Slat envisions long-distance arrays of floats that would skim garbage from the surface while allowing aquatic life and the currents themselves to pass by underneath. The company estimates that a 100km stationary cleanup array could remove 42% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch over 10 years, representing a total of 70,320,000kg of plastic waste. For now, they’re installing a 2,000m trial system in Japan, which will become the longest floating structure in the world when completed.<br />
The 2,000m floating line will become the longest floating structure in the world when it’s deployed in 2016, It is the first stage in 20-year-old Boyan Slat’s plan to rid the oceans of floating plastic waste, The plan involves targeting rotating ocean currents full of waste and skimming the trash from them, His goal is to eventually build a 100km floating array that could collect 70,320,000kg of plastic waste over 10 years, Slat estimates that this method would cost roughly 4.53 euros (5.04 USD) per kilogram, which is only 3% of the cost of other potential clean-up methods<br />

<br />
Like the proverbial ‘calm’ swan who’s paddling like crazy, this stunning photo-series shows that what you see on the surface isn’t always reflected underneath.<br />
‘For me one of the most wondrous parts of any dive is the moment that the water engulfs my mask as my head slips below the surface,’ explains British-born, and now Aussie-based, photographer Matty Smith.<br />
‘I think it’s the suspense of the unknown of what lies beneath,’ he adds.<br />
Also an experienced diver, he specialises in ‘half over half underwater images’ that marry the wet, unfamiliar world of the Pacific Ocean, with our dry, familiar landscape.<br />
The results offer a tantalising glimpse into a secret underwater world.<br />
<br />
<br />
‘The dynamics of the changing water line across my lens port produces beautiful and unpredictable curves, which is also an added element of mystery,’ says Matty.<br />

‘I have the worlds biggest playground at my feet, the Pacific Ocean….. And I have truly fallen in love with it’<br />

A long finned Eel living under the shadow of the iconic Sydney skyline in the botanical gardens. Born just off the coast of New Caledonia this eel would have made the 2000km journey to the east coast of Australia and one wet night climbed out of Sydney Harbour, slithered across the grass and into this freshwater pond where it will live for up to 30 years. Eventually the urge to breed will take back across the South Pacific Ocean. A journey its ancestors have been making for millions of years, long before the first humans settlers to this land and all without a passport or papers!<br />

I love bold shapes and primary colours in my images, hence the bluebottles and crimson red waratah anemones in some of my other images. I think my portfolio lacked a little yellow and this golden coloured flora of the ocean just about filled the gap nicely. You'll find this seaweed pretty much everywhere along the coastline here in southern NSW. I lit it with a nice bright underwater strobe on a dark and rainy morning to give it that special something.<br />

Being an ocean photographer has led me into some strange and curious habits. Wading around in low tide rock pools in the middle of the night is one of them. However, the rewards can be endless from a photographers point of view, such as finding this Hypselodoris bennetti in inches of water. Photographing it from a low angle just beneath the surface has created this wonderful reflection. This species of nudibranch is endemic to south eastern NSW, you’ll find it no where else in the world!<br />

  • Five Volcanoes Erupting at Once<br />
<br />
Remote. Cold. Rugged. Those three adjectives capture the essence of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. Another word—perhaps more applicable than anywhere else on Earth—is “fiery.”<br />
Of the roughly 1,550 volcanoes that have erupted in the recent geologic past, 113 are found on Kamchatka. Forty Kamchatkan volcanoes are “active,” either erupting now or capable of erupting on short notice. The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured activity at five of them during a single satellite pass on April 14, 2014.<br />
From geographic north to south (and top to bottom on this page), the volcanoes are Shiveluch, Klyuchevskaya, Bezymianny, Kizimen, and Karymsky. The tallest of the group is Klyuchevskaya, a stratovolcano with a steep, symmetrical cone that reaches 4,750 meters (15,580 feet) above sea level. The most active is Karymsky, a 1,536-meter (5,039-foot) peak that has erupted regularly since 1996.<br />
Plate tectonics is responsible for the many volcanoes on Kamchatka Peninsula. The Pacific Plate is slowly colliding with and sliding beneath the Okhotsk Plate. As rock from the Pacific Plate descends and encounters higher pressures and temperatures, it melts into magma. Over time, magma accumulates and migrates up toward the surface, causing volcanic eruptions.<br />
Long before the discovery of plate tectonics, Kamchatka’s many volcanoes and eruptions were woven into a rich tapestry of myths and creation stories. According to Koryak folklore, the raven-like deity Kutkh created Kamchatka by dropping a giant feather on the Pacific Ocean. Each of the first generation of men became one of Kamchatka’s mountains at death; many of these mountains became volcanic because the men’s hearts burned so passionately for a beautiful woman that Kutkh had also created near the beginning of time.<br />

Now my photography has led me into a few interesting situations in the past, but this takes the cake. I'm staying as still as can be and mumbling profusely to myself "Focus, frame, just get the shot" One of the most exhilarating moments of my life!

Shooting these silky sharks off the coast of Cuba was actually an incredibly difficult task. Not because they were hard to find, on the contrary, there were often too many and they move real fast in these open and rough seas! So to single one out for an intimate portrait was quite frustrating. It required a high amount of concentration; luckily this one slowed down just long enough to capture the shot.<br />

This image is shot right out the front of where I used to work. During my lunchbreak walk I had found this tiny rockpool containing these wonderful bright red waratah anemones, I had to make a picture of them. I knew I could only shoot at the lowest of tides and I wanted to coincide it with a nice sunrise, it was to be a long waiting game!!  In the meantime, whenever I could get access to this tiny pool, I experimented with what camera accessories (ports, lighting etc) I could fit in such a small space to take the shot. I had to strip my housing right down, removing handles and lighting brackets etc. Then the perfect morning arrived. I remember there was a fairly strong, hot summer breeze that dried the exposed part of my port in seconds, so I had to constantly ladle water over it, but my plan played out wonderfully and the picture worked how I wanted it to!!

I wanted to make an image that had both strong eye contact and visible teeth to bring out the character and personality of this animal. I slowly and cautiously approached it maintaining strong eye contact and light fin movements to avoid stirring up the silt. The crocodile remained motionless with just it's yellow periscope like eye staring straight back at me, it felt like stand off, who would falter first? Now it’s very seldom I remember the exact moment of pressing the shutter on “the shot of the day” but I do remember everything about this one; pulling focus, framing up, the sweat beading on my forehead and holding my breath. Confident I had my shot in a couple of frames I slowly backed away and got back in the boat. Mind blown!!<br />

  • Kamaishi, Japan - <br />
<br />
Japan 4 Years Later<br />
<br />
On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake struck in the Pacific Ocean about 20 miles off of the Northeastern Japanese coast of Honshu and produced a series of waves, or tsunamis, that reached 30 feet or higher. These waves slammed into a protective seawall built by the Japanese government at an estimated cost of $1.6 billion. The seawalls failed.<br />
<br />
Along the coast, more than 15,000 people lost their lives. 230,000 either lost their homes or were displaced. About 87,000 still live in temporary housing four years later.<br />
<br />
In the temporary housing near Kamaishi, Japan, about half the former residents are gone now. The Japanese government has offered subsidies of $40,000 to $60,000 to help rebuild homes that now cost $300,000 to $450,000 to rebuild, due to the shortage of construction workers and the cost of building materials. Some have moved in with relatives; others moved into permanent apartments and manyhave simply left the area for good.<br />
<br />
Tokyo has set aside $155 billion to rebuild, and yet many in Kamaishi wonder where the money is going. Some of it is spent on schemes to literally raise the ground up to 15 feet in devastated towns like Otsuchi and Rikuzentakata City, which were practically flattened by the tsunami. Even more is being spent to repair the failed seawall.<br />
<br />
Despite efforts by Tokyo to raise the ground level and repair the sea walls, many people in the area are losing hope of having their lives back. Takemi Wada, who lost her home and mother at Rikuzentakata City, said she’ll never move back even with the elevated land. “Who wants to live on top of a graveyard?” she asked.<br />
<br />
Photo shows: The ruins of a building near the ocean is one of the few remaining there. The Japanese government plans to raise the level of the ground by more than 15 feet prior to rebuilding the town. Rikuzentakata was nearly wiped out by the tsunami of 2011 and lost about 2,000 of its 23,000 citizens.<br />

  • How aliens see us: Planet Earth, as viewed by International Space Station astronauts<br />
<br />
Tweeting from orbit has, it seems, become an important part of any self respecting astronaut's daily routine.<br />
But as these incredible images show, the results really are worth it. <br />
In a trend pioneered by Canadian ISS commander Chris Hadfield, new recruits are now tweeting regularly from orbit.<br />
Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who is currently aboard the station, is a prolific snapper, along with his German colleague Alexander Gerst. <br />
The pair have even developed their own styles, with Gerst preferring abstract patterns on the Earth's surface, while Wiseman favours storms and cities.<br />
Recently Gerst took part in a live Facebook Q&A to answer questions from people on Earth.<br />
One included Sir Richard Branson, who asked: 'What do you think the role of astronauts will be in 50 years' time? Pioneers? Guides? Or the norm?'<br />
Gerst responded: 'My hope would be that in 50 years from now, space travellers will not only be professional agency astronauts, but that everybody should have a realistic chance to make the incredible experience I am having right now.<br />
'Anyway, I hope there will still be pioneers out there who will fly to destinations farther away.'<br />
<br />
Photo shows: Astronaut Reid Wiseman posted this photo to Twitter on Aug. 16, 2014 from the International Space Station with the caption, 'Unreal #EarthArt not clouds. These spirals are Pacific Ocean currents in sun glint.'<br />

Teahupoo, Tahiti. The reef pass known as Teahupoo is the site of some of the worlds most dangerous waves. The swell comes from deep in the southern Pacific Ocean and unloads on the shallow coral reef. This sequence known as 'Reef Draining' shows the wave sucking water off the reef almost as though someone has pulled out a plug. <br />
