Now That's Just Cool

Extinct volcano crater in Mount Bosavi, Papua New Guinea


You may have heard about this already, but if not, I think this is totally cool. Scientists recently descended into that picturesque volcano crater and discovered a bunch of new species. Having never seen humans before, most of these animals had no fear of the scientists.

Check out an article about it here (which includes a short audio interview I found interesting) and go here if you want to see more pictures.

It's nice to know there's still unchartered territory left on our planet. Makes me want to be a scientist so I can go play too!

I don't know why, but it seems crazy to me that there is still uncharted territory on the earth. It blows my mind that there is so much still out there that we don't know about.

So, I'd have to agree, that's just cool.

I love the idea of something so new, innocent, and fresh. . . . unscathed by the effects of Obama's presidency.
