For generations, Lake Victoria supported one of the world’s richest freshwater ecosystems. Beneath its surface lived hundreds of species of cichlid fish, many found nowhere else on Earth. These small, colourful fish had evolved over thousands of years to occupy different parts of the lake, from rocky shorelines to deeper waters. But a decision made […]
Image:Left/Brilliant Africa/Right/Canva At first glance, Lake Natron in northern Tanzania appears almost otherworldly. Its shimmering red waters, highly alkaline chemistry and scorching temperatures create one of the harshest aquatic environments on Earth. Yet this seemingly inhospitable lake supports one of nature’s most remarkable survival stories. Every year, millions of lesser flamingos gather along its shores […]
For a long time, astronomers treated the early universe as a place where galaxies were still finding their footing, small systems forming stars rapidly, while the larger cosmic structures familiar today had not yet settled into existence. Galaxy clusters, the sprawling cities of the cosmos, were thought to become influential much later. Yet fresh observations […]

The northeastern state of Manipur contains the amazing freshwater body of Loktak Lake, known for its perfect circular floating islands called phumdis. The phumdis, which are masses of vegetation, soil, and organic matter, form an incredibly unique landscape that can be seen from outer space. Referred to as India’s “floating lake”, the Loktak Lake contains […]
Long before satellite imagery and digital maps became common, a Danish farmer carved out one of the world’s most unusual geographical attractions entirely by hand inside a lake. Inspired by a stone near Klejtrup Lake that resembled Denmark’s Jutland Peninsula, farmer Soren Poulsen spent roughly 25 years transforming the waterbody into a giant miniature world […]
PC: National Museum of Great Lakes Rhode Island may be the smallest state in the United States by area, but comparing it with some of North America’s largest lakes makes it seem even tinier. The state covers just 1,214 square miles, which is surprisingly small once you realise that six freshwater lakes in or partly […]
