Brave Buffalo Takes on Three Hungry Lions to Rescue Young Calf After it is snatched from the Herd.



Amateur photographer Andreas Häntzschel, 39 from Aachen, Germany, captured the whole clash on camera when a valiant buffalo charged three lions after they grabbed a young calf from the herd. The three hungry lions crept up on the buffalo and calf in north-west Tanzania, East Africa, causing them to disperse in a terrifying 90-second ordeal. Though the bulk of the buffalo escaped, one animal turned back and stood firm against the lions in a bid to save its young. Although the big buffalo rallied and stood between her young and the lion's teeth while charging horns-first at the circling predators. The three lions grabbed the opportunity to surround their prey and closed in on the calf. Nonetheless the outnumbered buffalo could not hold them at bay and a young lion pounced and snapped away the baby between its jaws. Moreover only the quick-thinking reactions of the young buffalo protected young calf from death. The 1,000 pound beast ploughed into all three lions just as they looked set to feast on the calf. And the rest of the herd arrived just in time to mount a gripping rescue and send the lions retreating with their tales firmly between their legs.  

Andreas said; I really like Mother Nature, and I like travelling and to take pictures in a documentary style. This was absolutely unreal clash of Buffalo and three lions. This was astonishing and you don't get a lot of chances to realize something like it. To see lions are not too remarkable but to see them fighting is really great. To be honest, i believe the buffaloes were very brave to save themselves. Andreas, who works as a portfolio manager for an energy company, and he used a Canon DSLR to take the photographs while filming with a Panasonic Video Cam. Many people ask me how I managed to see that and then they’re pleased to see the buffalo calf alive. But I was so angry that I didn't take my full HD camera with me.Watch Video at Dailymail

A Robot That Turns Any Beach into Sand Drawing



As you know very well, that Disney is famous for animated character on the stage and screen, now they’ve invented a robot which can turns any beach into sand drawings. Well, the latest creation of Disney’s Beachbot which is an autonomous robot that draws pictures on the beach using state of art technology. The adorable bot that looks like a turtle can create sketches and images by dragging seven. The robot is 60 cm in length and 40 cm in width and height. 

The Beachbot has a three wheel arrangement with differential drive back wheels and also has a steering wheel in the front. The artist in charge of the robot sets down poles in the sand to tell the robot the space in which it may draw. The robot may either be controlled manually or the artist can send it a file image to replicate. As long as the artist can draw it, BeachBot can draw it too. Moreover the BeachBot is not just a lifeless, mechanical being; it is a friendly looking creature with a soul,' says the robot's official website.

French Photographer Captures Hot Spring and Moment of Icelandic Geysers Bubble

The 30 year old landscape photographer Alban Henderyckx captures beautiful hot springs and moment Icelandic geysers bubble of moodily atmospheric shots of shooting steam and bubbling liquid could have been taken on the moon or some far flung planet, at the very least the set of a sci-fi film. Alban Henderyckx capture the incredible pictures during a trip to Vatnajökull also known as the Vatna Glacier, actually a largest and most voluminous Icelandic glacier, located in the south-east of the island, covering more than eight per cent of the country. This is also famous as and one of the largest in area in Europe.
By wandering someplace in the inland of the Iceland, you’ve to awake almost 24 hours in the surrounded of a thick fog, even driving on the hectic desert trails of Highlands. You know, actually a geyser is a vent in Earth's surface that periodically ejects a column of hot water and steam. However in some geysers have eruptions that blast thousands of gallons of boiling hot water up to a few hundred feet in the air. Therefore; the most renowned geyser is in Yellowstone National Park in the United States often called Old Faithful which erupts every 60 to 90 minutes and blasts hot water up to 200 feet into the air. Alban explaining his work, I instinctively followed the energy of my subconscious to immerse myself more in a world without artifice, nature and the vastness of the landscape.

Ice Volcanoes of the Great Lakes



During the winter months, when the Great Lakes in North America freezes over, an exclusive feature often called “ice volcanoes” starts forming along the edge of the frozen lakes. When the winter ice starts to build along the shores of large lakes, strong winds blowing onshore and wave motion on the waters break up the ice, and they start piling on top of each and building what is recognized as an ice shelf. Moreover amongst the plentiful ice blocks comprising a shelf, numerous develop cracks.

Waves coming into shore from deeper water strike the edge of the ice shelf trigger off them to go under the ice and as the water depth becomes shallow, the potent energy in the wave causes it to rise up, just like a tsunami. Thus when the energetic wave finds a crack on the ice sheet, it reasons the water to sprout making an ice volcano. If the hole is covered with snow, the eruption may spray snow outward alike a volcanic gas cloud. Further a more suitable name for these sprouting water holes would have been ‘blowholes’, but ice volcanoes really grow just like their geological cousins. When the ejected water falls back onto the ice, it rapidly freezes and starts to form an ice cone, this is the process very related to the building of a lava cone surrounding a geologic volcanic vent. Thought the ice cones range in size from 3 feet to more than 30 feet high, and spew a mixture of icy cold water and chunks of ice itself.

Moreover not all ice sheets develop ice volcanoes as to build a good ice volcano cone, this has to required unique set of conditions and the surface air temperature must be some degrees below freezing and lake waves more than a few feet high and breaking onshore, which is perhaps why they’re seen at very few places such as on the shores of Lake Michigan, Lake Erie and Lake Superior.

Tourists Remarkable Snaps Show of Northern Lights in Iceland



Here’s are some tourists incredible photos displaying Northern Lights just like fire in sky, blending orange glow from erupting volcano in Iceland. The Northern lights dancing in the night sky while chasing with the orange glow of an erupting volcano. 

They say; the celestial display is well worth it as they’re able to take in the rare double treat. Even in one picture, the glow of Holuhraun Lava field at Jokulsarlon glacial lake at the edge of Iceland’s Vantnajokull National Pakr. We really love them and cannot get more of them, even extremely strong in two times when the sun activity was at peak. They were so bright, so colorful and fast, just out of this world. The real natural phenomena lasted around two hours and colorful display as “unreal”.

This is one of the most attractive and magical places in Iceland when the combined with two of the most captivating natural phenomena it was so unreal and hard to believe. We just felt at one with nature and completely forgot everything else. Every time we see them we were wondering what the people in the old days felt when they didn't know what these lights are. 

The beautiful glow from the Holuhraun eruption was located almost 50 miles north of the breath-taking glacial lake, where the green, purple and orange colors reflected off the water's surface. Moreover the Holuhraun eruption started last summer and is the largest to occur in Iceland since the Laki eruption from 1783-1784. 

We’re sure most of the time you cannot see the purple color with your naked eye. But when they’re really strong you can see the purple, pink and red colors with your eyes. However when light is too bright to take good pictures because the foreground objects gets too dark depending whether it is full moon or not. Therefore it all depends on the strength of the sun activity.
