A 20-year-old tourist’s attempt in Indonesia to take photos against a backdrop of spectacular waves at Kedung Tumpang beach ended tragically as one of them “swallowed” him up, leaving him still missing.

The tragic incident occurred last Sunday when Roni Josua Simanjuntak went to a beach with his friends.

This seismic event was detected by sensors worldwide but was so unprecedented that researchers initially had no idea what had caused it. Now, having solved the mystery, scientists say it demonstrates how global warming is already affecting the planet on a large scale, making significant landslides possible in areas once considered stable as temperatures rapidly rise.

A German woman died Sunday when she was swept by a wave in the port of Kyparissia in western Peloponnese.

A work by Alper Aydın, displayed in the Black Sea during his exhibition "Fata Morgana," has been destroyed by waves.

A second wave could follow after life returns to normal - or at least once when society returns to some semblance of normal.
Apart from the epidemiological second wave, Europe and the West are threatened by another danger - a geopolitical second wave, writes the American magazine "Atlantic".

The waves will be up to 3 meters in height. A wind and a sea state warning has been issued. The waves will subside in the evening and there may be rip currents and bottom pits on Saturday-Sunday.

Weather forecasters are also warning of a serious danger of fires in the coming days.

AFP Scientists have recorded what is believed to be the largest wave ever in the Southern Hemisphere, a 23.8 metre monster the height of an eight-storey building.

A buoy recorded the wave on Tuesday during a ferocious storm in the notoriously wild Southern Ocean near Campbell Island, some 700km south of New Zealand, research body MetOcean Solutions said.

Thousands of tourists who chose to spend their holidays on a Cycladic island in Greece experienced some extremely rough weather and choppy seas, as can be seen in a video released from Folegandros.
The winds reached up to 8 Beaufort, causing serious problems in shipping. As can be seen in the video huge waves were hitting ships in the stormy waters.
