  • September 9, 2017 - Atlantic Ocean, U.S. - Image Released Today: Meteorologists struggled to find the right words to describe the situation as a line of three hurricanes, two of them major and all of them threatening land brewed in the Atlantic basin. Forecasters were most concerned about Irma, which was on track to make landfall in densely populated South Florida on September 10 as a large category 4 storm. Meanwhile, category 2 Hurricane Katia was headed for Mexico, where it was expected to make landfall on September 9. And just days after Irma devastated the Leeward Islands, the chain of small Caribbean islands braced for another blow, this time from category 4 Hurricane Jose. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite captured the data for a mosaic of Katia, Irma, and Jose as they appeared in the early hours of September 8, 2017.

  • October 13, 2017 - Atlantic Ocean - In the latest twist from an unusually potent Atlantic hurricane season, a tropical storm is now headed for the shores of Ireland. Hurricane Ophelia probably won't make it to the island as a true hurricane; it is more likely to evolve into an extratropical cyclone as it passes over cooler North Atlantic water. But either way, strong winds and heavy rain are expected to blow into the southwest coast of Ireland and over parts of the United Kingdom on October 16, 2017.

  • September 8, 2017 - Atlantic Ocean - The NOAA-NASA satellite GOES-16 captured this geocolor image of Hurricane Irma passing the eastern end of Cuba. Forecasters say the eye of Irma should move near the north coast of Cuba and the central Bahamas on Friday, Sept. 8 and Saturday, Sept. 9, and be near the Florida Keys and the southern Florida Peninsula Sunday morning. Irma, now a category 4 storm, has maximum sustained winds near 155 mph with higher gusts. Some fluctuations in intensity are likely during the next day or two, but Irma is forecast to remain a powerful category 4 hurricane as it approaches Florida.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Great white sharks have mysteriously vanished from one of their most popular hunting grounds in South Africa leaving tourism bosses baffled as to what has driven away one of their biggest money spinners. Theories include a fear of Orca's who have been targeting the apex predators tearing them open to eat their fatty livers as well as pollution, climate change and over fishing of much of the great whites natural prey. Between 2010 and 2016 shark spotters recorded an average of 205 great white sightings a year in False Bay which is a 600 square mile section of the Atlantic Ocean near tourist hot spot Cape Town. In 2018 they were only 50 sightings of the deadly predators made famous by the Hollywood blockbuster Jaws and so far this year not a single one of the much-feared great white shark has been spotted. And it has been two years since the Shark Spotters Applied Research Programme has picked up a signal from any of the great white’s that had been tagged by scientists and were resident in False Bay. This comes after 5 great white sharks were washed up along the South African coastline in 2017 with gaping wounds on their side with their livers having been bitten out by two killer whales in the area. The killer whales bite a large slit in the side of the great whites after attacking as a pair and then suck out the fatty liver which is 600lb meat delicacy in a phenomenon that has only recently been discovered. The two Orca’s responsible – known as Port and Starboard as their dorsal fins hang to the left on one and to the right on the other – spurned their natural prey like seals having developed a taste for shark.

The deadly hurricane obliterated everything in its path, slamming boats into a huge cluster, tearing up homes and jetties and snapping trees and infrastructure into pieces. The current death toll in the Caribbean was reported at 38 on Monday [September 11]. Caribbean Buzz Helicopters took to the skies to takes these images the day after Irma made landfall across the British Virgin Islands. Areas photographed include Leverick Bay in Virgin Gorda, one the the neighboring islands to Richard Branson’s privately-owned Necker Island, which was almost entirely destroyed by Irma, which is the most powerful hurricane ever recorded to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean. Another image depicts the jetty at Yacht Club Costa Smeralda which has been torn into pieces. After hitting the Caribbean on Wednesday [September 6], the hurricane continued its deadly path into Cuba and made landfall on the Florida Keys on Sunday [September 10] before pushing up the Gulf Coast. On Monday [September 11] it was downgraded to a tropical storm, but is still pummeling northern Florida and is expected to hit Georgia later today. Latest figures reveal the death toll has risen to 38 in the Caribbean while five deaths so far have been reported in Florida. 11 Sep 2017 Pictured: Devastation caused by Hurricane Irma in the British Virgin Islands.

  • Sir Richard Branson emerged unscathed from Hurricane Irma after bunkering down in his wine cellar on his private Caribbean island. However Branson’s Necker Island and surrounding areas of the British Virgin Islands were left devastated by the hurricane - the largest ever recorded on the Atlantic Ocean. The Virgin Group mogul previously explained that his Necker compound had been built with reinforced hurricane blinds, designed to withstand huge winds. Taking to Instagram on Thursday [September 7], the day after the hurricane hit, Branson wrote: “All of the team who stayed on Necker and Moskito during the hurricane are safe and well. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by Hurricane #Irma in the BVI & Caribbean. “I’ve never seen anything like it. Urge all in its path to seek strong shelter & stay safe. Necker & whole area has been completely devastated.” Earlier on Wednesday [September 6] before Irma hit, Branson shared photos on social media of his team smiling and bedded down in a room. “Expecting full force in about 4 hours, we'll retreat into a concrete wine cellar under the house. Wonderful team calm and upbeat,” Branson wrote in a social media post. Irma is currently barreling towards the U.S. and is set to wreak more devastation. It is expected to make landfall Sunday [September 10] morning in South Florida. 08 Sep 2017 Pictured: Richard Branson shared photos of himself and his team bunkering down at his compound on his privately owned Caribbean island, Necker, as Hurricane Irma approached.

  • These photos reveal the huge damage caused to Richard Branson’s Necker Island after it was hit by Hurricane Irma last week. The Virgin Group boss shared images of his devastated private island, including debris strewn everywhere, uprooted trees and structural damage. Writing from nearby Puerto Rico, where he traveled to mobilize aid efforts for the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and wider Caribbean, Branson revealed he is headed straight back to BVI to assist in the relief effort. He wrote: “As you can see from the photos, much of the buildings and vegetation on Necker has been destroyed or badly damaged. We felt the full force of the strongest hurricane ever in the Atlantic Ocean. “But we are very fortunate to have a strong cellar built into Necker’s Great House and were very lucky all of our teams who stayed on Island during the storm are safe and well.” He went on: “This story is about the tens of thousands of people who have lost their homes and their livelihoods. We have spent the past two days visiting team members who live on Virgin Gorda and as many people as possible, distributing aid, water and supplies. “We have seen first-hand just how ferocious and unforgiving this storm was.”  Necker Island and surrounding islands bore the full wrath of Hurricane Irma when it hit last Wednesday [September 6]. The hurricane continued its deadly path, making landfall on the Florida Keys on Sunday [September 10] before pushing up the Gulf Coast. On Monday [September 11] it was downgraded to a tropical storm, but is still pummeling northern Florida and is expected to hit Georgia later today.

  • June 10, 2017 - Sullivan'S Island, South Carolina, United States of America - Descendants of enslaved Africans brought to Charleston in the Middle Passage hold a prayer service during a remembrance ceremony at Fort Moutrie National Monument June 10, 2017 in Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. The Middle Passage refers to the triangular trade in which millions of Africans were shipped to the New World as part of the Atlantic slave trade. An estimated 15% of the Africans died at sea and considerably more in the process of capturing and transporting. The total number of African deaths directly attributable to the Middle Passage voyage is estimated at up to two million African deaths. (Credit Image: © Richard Ellis via ZUMA Wire)

  • Horrific footage shows the seas turn red with blood after more than 200 dolphins were slaughtered by locals in the Faroe Islands as part of an ancient Norse tradition. Graphic video shows the highly-intelligent animals writhing and squirming in blood as fisherman plunge metal hooks into their blow holes before severing their spines. The hunt, known locally as Grindadrap, is a tradition dating back to the 13th Century which sees local fishermen slaughter Atlantic white-side dolphins — as seen here — and long-finned pilot whales after driving the mammals towards shallow waters by closing in on them using a large semicircle of boats. Conservation group Sea Shepherd UK, which captured the stomach-churning video and images, says that according to Faroese reports 210 Atlantic white-side dolphins were killed in the most recent hunt — the 11th of the year — which took place on the coast of Hvalvik on September 11. Gory images depict the ocean as a bloodbath with scores of dolphins lying dead on the shoreline with gaping wounds across their heads. Weeks previously 180 whales were killed on the island as part of the same ritual. According to Sea Shepherd UK, which captured the footage as part of its 'Operation Bloody Fjords’ campaign, the Faroese have killed more than 62,000 pilot whales and dolphins over the past 50 years. It also claims that in 2017 alone, a total 1,691 dolphins and whales were killed in 24 grindadráp hunts in the Faroe Islands and the running total for 2018 is 561 pilot whales and 255 Atlantic white-sided dolphins. Animal activist group PETA says the sea animals endure great suffering and pain: ‘Metal hooks are driven into the stranded mammals' blowholes before their spines are cut. ‘The animals slowly bleed to death. Whole families are slaughtered, and some whales swim around in their family members' blood for hours. ‘Whales and dolphins are highly intelligent creatures and feel pain and fear every bit as much as we do.’ But authorities
