The fish was identified as a Deal Fish by marine biologist Prof Mike Elliott
A rare fish washed up on a Yorkshire beach normally lives in the open ocean at depths of up to 1,000 metres, a leading marine biologist has said.

Prof Mike Elliott, at the University of Hull, said the Deal Fish found on the beach at Hornsea normally inhabits colder waters north of Scotland.

Prof Elliott said the one-metre long (3ft 3in) fish was young as adults could be up to 2.4m (8ft) long.

He said: "Global warming means these fish should be moving further north."

The fish was found on the beach by Hornsea resident Allan Dougal and his son.

A driver doing some errands had a nasty surprise Saturday morning when a sinkhole suddenly opened up beneath the truck he was driving.

The man, an off-duty police officer, had just picked up some garden furniture from an outlet in a office complex on Ambler Dr. As he was making his way out of the parking lot, he drove through what appeared to be a small puddle.

It turned out to be something much worse.

As he drove over it, the ground beneath his wheels gave way, tipping the truck into a five-foot-deep sinkhole that rapidly started filling with water.

The driver managed to get himself out of the truck and nobody was injured.

Police, fire crews and tow trucks were called to try to pull the stricken vehicle out of the hole.

Firefighters on the scene said that a water pipe beneath the surface appeared to have ruptured and caused the sinkhole to form.

They see the snow as "an anomaly" rather than as the beginning of a new Ice Age.

Chile, 06-06-2014: The snow that fell on Route 90 at the entrance of Pichilemu during the afternoon on Friday was "unusual," said La Primera Compañía de Bomberos (the First Fire Company) on its Twitter account

The phenomenon not only surprised the transiting area, but also the Chilean Meteorological Office who listed the snowstorm as an "anomaly".

According to meteorologist Patricio Silva "we had expected snowfall above 1,000 meters, but not in the coastal zone".

'Unheard of in this area' - Volcano-like eruption in Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh triggers panic

Image
A "volcano-like eruption" in Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh triggered panic among the people of the area. Reports said that flames and a hot liquid stream were seen spewing out of a hill 100 m from Gadiyada village. The village is over 200 km from Shimla. State geologists confirmed that the eruption is a 'small magmatic activity'. After the report, a team of Geological Survey of India (GSI) reached the site on Thursday.

Fearing that a bigger eruption could damage their agricultural land and houses, residents of around half a dozen villages in the vicinity of the eruption are anxiously awaiting the final report of GSI team. "Gases and liquids are being emitted from holes in a 10 feet area around the hill where the volcanic activity took place," said Ved Prakash, president of Drang panchayat. He said the eruption, unheard of in this area, caused panic among villagers.


Comment: This seems a bit odd - what exactly is a 'small magmatic activity'? Hopefully, we will find more out about this so-called 'activity'. In the meantime, here is a list of active, dormant, and extinct volcanoes in India.


This is the first time such a volcanic activity has been witnessed in the state. Chief parliamentary secretary Jagjivan Pal in whose Sulah assembly constituency the area falls visited the spot on Tuesday. He said the flames and the hot liquid emanating from the hill had created panic. "Underground temperature in the area has increased manifold and people say that a steel electricity pole had become red hot a couple of days back," he added. Pal said a sulphur-like material and black stone is flowing out from the perimeter of the hill.
