DALLOL, ETHIOPIA - JANUARY 23: A sulphur lake is pictured in the Danakil Depression on January 23, 2017 near Dallol, Ethiopia. The depression lies 100 metres below sea level and is one of the hottest and most inhospitable places on Earth. Despite the gruelling conditions, Ethiopians continue a centuries old industry of mining salt from the ground by hand in temperatures that average 34.5 degrees centigrade but have risen to over 50 degrees.

Oahu’s Hanauma Bay on Wednesday, May 6, 2016 near Honolulu. Much of the inner reef at Hanauma Bay is dead after decades of tourist interaction, but the outter reef is still relatively healthy. More than 2,000 international reef scientists, policymakers and stakeholders are gathering in Hawaii starting Monday, June 20, 2016, to discuss the latest coral science and what can be done to stop widespread death of the world's reefs.(AP Photo/Caleb Jones) (AP)

In 2015 the number of bald eagles in Massachusetts reached a record high in since the majestic birds of prey were reintroduced to the state in 1982. The increase was driven in large part by a surprising population boom in the more urban areas of the state close to Boston.
