the secrets of Socotra's wildlife
I first heard about the island of Socotra in a browning copy of a newspaper I found at my grandparents’ house. They hadn’t kept it for this reason, but it featured a piece on British explorer Douglas Botting and his 1956 expedition to a ‘rare and rough island’ lying off the Horn of Africa. Then a young, adventure-hungry Oxford undergrad, Botting was searching to give the Oxford Exploration Club a reason to send him anywhere.
The hermit of Socotra Island
The hermit of Socotra Island (Image credit: John M Lund Photography Inc/Getty Images) He fishes by hand, lives alone in a remote cave and is a living testament to the way residents once lived on this far-flung island in Yemen. S Standing on a rocky outcrop on the north-western tip of the Yemeni island of Socotra, the only signs of life that I could see were shoals of fish undulating beneath me in the turquoise water.
The white-capped mountain: how climate change is impacting Mt Kenya
Etched into the wooden bedframe above me are the words: ‘only a hill, but all of life to me, up here, between the sky and the sea’. These sentiments tie into my thoughts of how lucky I am to be here, climbing a mountain, when almost all travel has been banned for the last eight months. I attempt to fall asleep in an effort to gain as much energy as I can for our summit push in a few hours, but find it difficult at a core-chilling -10°C.
The trip that changed my life: camping with Bedouins in Jordan
I’m sat cross-legged on a goat skin rug, drinking sage tea brewed from leaves that we foraged a few hours earlier. The fire next to us crackles away as Ali, tall and slender, stirs a huge pot of vegetable stew. It’s swiftly served on a huge communal plate and we eat the traditional way – using our hands and khoubz (middle eastern flat bread) to soak up the delicious juices. I'm in Wadi Rum, a desert valley in southern Jordan, with my Bedouin guide, Ali.
Effect of creatine loading on neuromuscular fatigue threshold
a number of investigations have used surface electromyographic (EMG) procedures to identify the power output associated with the onset of neuromuscular fatigue (NMF) during cycle ergometry (3, 4, 7-9, 14, 21). NMF is typically characterized by an increase over time in the electrical activity of the working muscles (2, 4, 14, 15). Moritani et al.
Turning myth into reality: the white lions of Timbavati
'The white lions don’t exist,' my safari guide says with a smile and twinkle in his eye, 'they are just myths.' Indeed, whispers of these lions have emanated from the lands of Timbavati and southern Kruger in South Africa for centuries. But today three of them are known to exist in the wild, two of whom are found within the 148-sq-km Ngala Private Game Reserve. Sitting in the heart of the region, Ngala means lion in the language of the local Shangaan people.
A Pilot’s Perspective: What It’s Like to Fly Over Conflict Areas
A seasoned British Airways pilot shares how her favorite flight route between London and Amman involves complicated protocols, diplomatic communications, and navigating “no-fly zones”—revealing more about the world than you might expect. As we descend over the Dead Sea, the bright lights of Jordan’s capital city appear in the distance surrounded by the darkness of a largely uninhabited desert.
