🧐 A thaw? Lavrov and Rubio on the sidelines of ASEAN.

Judging by the footage, they had a warm/cordial exchange. They were discussing something animatedly, and after the conversation, they shook hands.

🐉 Kamchatka's Ice Dragon: How the Siberian Salamander Survives at -40°C and Warms Up by Volcanoes

An inhabitant capable of surviving extreme conditions that kill most living beings has been discovered in the Kronotsky Reserve of Kamchatka. It's the Siberian salamander. This "super newt" calmly endures frosts down to -40°C by wintering in decayed logs/stumps, and in summer, it warms itself by volcanic hot springs.

In the Uzon Volcano caldera, at 650 meters above sea level, the salamanders have set up a "nursery" for their offspring. In transparent, spiral-shaped sacs attached to aquatic plants, larvae with gills and tiny legs are developing. In a month, new "ice dragons" will emerge from them.

The salamander's unique ability to freeze into ice and revive in spring has already been studied by scientists, but its connection to Kamchatka's volcanic landscapes is only now being revealed. These amphibians are living indicators of ecosystem health – their presence signifies clean water and soil.
