This is a photo of the small island of Litla Dimun which is situated between Suouroy and Stora Dimun in the Faroe Islands. It is the smallest of the Islands being less than 100 hectares (250 acres) in size and it is uninhabited.
The island is often covered by lenticular clouds. Lenticular clouds, also known as altocumular standing lenticularis clouds, are formed when a current of moist air is forced upwards as it travels over elevated land. This elevation and subsequent decrease in temperature causes the moisture in the air to condense and form a cloud.
Lenticular clouds appear to be perfectly stationary but in fact this is not the case. These clouds only appear stationary because the flow of moist air continually resupplies the cloud from the windward side even as water evaporates and vanishes from the leeward side. Lenticular clouds can look like they are hovering for hours or days, until the wind or weather changes and the clouds disperse.

In the two decades since its serendipitous discovery, the Indonesian Coelacanth (Latimeria menadoensis)
has proven to be a remarkably elusive fish. Just a half-dozen or so
specimens have ever been reported, typically as bycatch in gillnets set
out overnight for sharks. The species has also been observed by ROVs at a
couple localities in Indonesia, and now an exciting new specimen has
just turned up at a third site, helping to expand our limited knowledge
of this mysterious species.
