Heb je onze nieuwe #wisselexpositie al gezien?
Sta oog in oog met een echt walvisskelet en leer van alles over deze giganten van de oceaan.

Met with "Azov" heroes in Turkey – expressed gratitude for the striving and resilience. @AndriyYermak helped in arranging a meeting with their families. It is an important day, but there is still a long way to go. 🇺🇦 will fight for freedom and returning of each person back home.

Bammm! A deeply argued and disturbing address to the world leadership, to the leadership at all levels in fact. Global, local. Pay attention, Gretha Thunberg is spot on.
"Let’s be clear — what you are doing is not about climate action or responding to an emergency. It never was. This is communication tactics disguised as politics."
Yesterday I adressed the #AustrianWorldSummit along with Angela Merkel, António Guterres, Alok Sharma and others.

Antarctica is enduring some near record-breaking temperatures this week, with Dome Fuji Station (2400km from Scott Base) plunging to -81.7˚C! These temperatures are caused by Southern Ocean westerlies and storms moving around the oceans surrounding Antarctica!

Some very exciting news from Tāwharanui: the first tītī (Cook’s petrel) to fledge from the mainland of Aotearoa in a very very long time. This is huge! Such great mahi there making safe spaces for our manu scoop.co.nz/stories/AK2106/S…

Kuikens in het land, poes in de mand! In het voorjaar zijn katten een groot gevaar voor weidevogelkuikens. Daarom roepen wij jou als kattenbezitter op om je kat 's nachts binnen te houden. Bedankt namens de kuikens! #poesindemand #weidevogels #gevaar

John's Aunt Mimi was born #onthisday 24 April 1906. Here's John with Mimi, Uncle George and Sally the dog in the back garden of their Liverpool home at 251 Menlove Avenue in 1947. #HappyBirthdayMimi

Here's hoping your weekend starts better!
A Northern Royal Albatross chick got quite the crash course when its parent miscalculated its landing!
This hilarious footage is from New Zealand’s @docgovtnz Taiaroa Head #RoyalCam. These birds nest on NZ islands and often visit southern Aus waters outside the breeding season.

North of the Yahgan Territory, in Karukinka (Tierra del Fuego) the encounters with Europeans and neocolonial countries like Chile & Argentina were far more violent:

The Larsen D Ice Shelf is having a clear out at the moment. That’s A70, A71, A72 and A73 - all in quick succession. #icebergs

It is the height of summer & MacGillivray’s prion chicks have started to hatch! 🐣Prions pose one of the greatest identification challenges so no surprise this species was mistaken on Gough for its abundant sister taxon (the broad billed prion) until 2011/12 #seabirdsaturday

The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience.
After 40 years, Sean, Julian and I still miss him.

Great shame - the Great Auk. Once a common bird of the North Atlantic it was driven to extinction in the mid nineteenth century. ‘Great Auks by Fairhead on the Northern Irish coast’. Oil on canvas. #wildlifeart #birdpainting #irishbirds #extinctirishanimals #extinction

New linocut (reduction). Guillemots on Sumburgh. Gotta laugh: they’re so strange.
