Allee de Von Karman - Von Karman vortices - Allee of Karman swirls in the clouds caused by the encounter between the wind and the mountain peak of Alejandro Selkirk Island (Juan Fernandez Archipelago) off Chile. False colour image obtained by Landsat 7 satellite on 15 September 1999. Each of these swirling clouds is the result of a meteorological phenomenon known as a von Karman vortex. These vortices appeared over Alexander Selkirk Island in the southern Pacific Ocean. Rising precipitously from the surrounding waters, the island's highest point is nearly a mile (1.6 km) above sea level. As wind - driven clouds encounter this obstacle, they flow around it to form large, spinning eddies. This false color image was acquired by Landsat 7 satellite on September 15, 1999

Doryaspis and Actiniaria - Artist view of Doryaspis swimming in the sea 410 million years ago. 8-inch-long jawless fish of the genus Doryaspis swim among a bed of Anthozoa of the order Actiniaria (AKA sea anemones) 410 million years ago in what is today the Svalbard archipelago in Norway. Doryaspis (AKA Lyktaspis) was armored with bony spines and a long snout that had spines set along its length (somewhat like the “” saw””” of a modern sawfish). Doryaspis 'mouth opened above, rather than below, the snout and is believed to have dined on plankton, however the snout may have been used to stir up small crustaceans from the mud or sand. In addition to a variety of anemones are palm-like crinoids (class Crinoidea), pentagonal-shaped sea stars, nautilus-like ammonites, and squid-like nautiloid cephalopods of the genus Orthoceras

Grantecan dome - La Palma Observatory - Grantecan dome - La Palma observatory - The Grantecan Telescope (Gran Telescopio Canarias) is the largest telescope in the world. Its hexagonal mirror measures 10.4 m in diameter. The instrument cost EUR 130 million to Spain (90%), Mexico (5%) and Florida (5%). It is located at 2400 m above sea level, at the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory, located at the top of the island of La Palma, in the Spanish archipelago of the Canary Islands. The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), called GranteCAN, is a 10.4 m reflecting telescope and is undertaking commissioning observations at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos on the island of La Palma, Spain. It is the largest telescope of the world, in 2008

Archaeopteryx - Archaeopteryx defending - An Archaeopteryx (or Archeopteryx) defends its territory on the shores of the Tethys Ocean 150 million years ago in what is today southern Germany. The Archeopteryx is a dinosaur and is considered the oldest known bird. A feathered Archaeopteryx protects its territory 150 million years ago in what is today southern Germany. About the size of a modern European Magpie, Archaeopteryx is the earliest known example of a fully feathered dinosaur. Despite its resemblance to birds, Archaeopteryx has more in common with small dinosaurs, especially in regard to its clawed arms and tiny teeth. The highly evolved feathers may have permitted Archaeopteryx to glide short distances, however it's unlikely Archaeopteryx could fly like a bird. During the late Jurassic Europe was a dry, tropical archipelago. In this image Archaeopteryx is depicted near the shore of the Tethys Sea

Thus, the island of Penfret, one of the islands of the Glenan archipelago, seems to sink gradually.
