The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. The lagoon is fed by the water output of a nearby geothermal power plant. Superheated water is vented from the ground near a lava flow and used to run turbines that generate electricity.

Etymologist Dave Good studies the Atelopus varius toad from Costa Rica to better understand how climate change is affecting it's habitat patterns. The toad appears to have shifted its range in response to drying of parts of its habitat.
