In Oregon, wildlife biologists are studying the coastal marten, a small member of the weasel family, by examining their preferred habitats and rest sites in a dense forest near Gold Beach. The research aims to understand the specific forest compositions that attract martens, which require continuous feeding and safe refuge from predators. Meanwhile, Iceland is garnering attention for its art scene, particularly the retrospective of the eccentric artist Stefán V. Jónsson, whose vibrant depictions of the Herðubreið mountain showcase his unique style and connection to Icelandic culture. Travelers to Iceland can also explore filming locations from 'Game of Thrones', such as Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, which featured prominently in Season 7. Despite recent volcanic activity, attractions like the Blue Lagoon remain safe for visitors, with local residents adapting to the island's unpredictable geological nature. Guides emphasize the importance of caution around volcanic sites, where nature's beauty intertwines with potential hazards.
