Experts believe miners could inadvertently destroy precious species and geological structures in their quest for minerals. The Lost City in the Atlantic Ocean One of the world's most important sites of scientific interest has been officially designated as part of a mining exploration zone, Sky News can reveal. Scientists believe life on earth may have begun in deep sea vents such as the ones discovered in the Lost City, an area deep on the sea floor in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The hydro-thermal vent system in which warm alkaline waters from the rocks react with seawater and create hydrocarbons - the building blocks of life - is the only such formation yet discovered in the world. But the International Seabed Authority - a UN organisation charged with managing the use of the seabed in the high seas - has now allotted the Lost City, along with 10,000 sq km of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, to Poland to explore for mining. Experts believe studying the Lost City could help understand...

Mention Japan and trains to anyone, and it is more than likely that their thoughts will turn to the iconic bullet train that whizzes from city to countryside at operating speeds of 320 km/h (200 mph) and has been known to hit 603 km/h (375 mph).  They may ALSO recount a story or two they have heard about how overcrowded the Tokyo metro can become with guards on platforms physically having to push people onboard so the doors can close for departures or they may even mention its famed efficiency.

Far from being late though, it was almost too eager to meet its timetable and departed twenty seconds early from the platform which prompted the Tsukuba Express management to issue an official apology. It read: "On November 14, at approximately 9:44 a...

Earth is decorated with colorful fauna, sprawling blue oceans and remarkable, humanmade structures, but living on the Blue Planet isn't always safe. While you may not have given much thought to it, simply stepping outside your door can leave you vulnerable to diseases, violently-inclined humans and depending on what part of the world you live in, many dangerous animals- the latter of which are arguably the biggest threat to human life.  Indeed, while the human race may feel invincible, you only have to step into the territories of other species to realize that we are far from invincible. But what species are the most dangerous? And why should we avoid them like the plague? Well, as you're about to find out, it isn't blood-sucking spiders and grizzly bears that should be most feared... Cape buffalos A large African bovine, the Cape buffalo is not to be confused with the larger wild water buffalo of Asia. In the Cape buffalo's case, its ancestry remains unclear, but one t...
