The volcano is erupting in Iceland. Oregon and Washington have a lot that Iceland has:  cliffs, ocean, lupines, puffins, seafood. No volcanos, sometimes northern lights. Thursday the kp index will be sooo high even Maryland might see them - except that it will probably be cloudy. 

Go to Iceland and Washington and Oregon.

Iga Swiatek is a Polish tennis player at Wimbledon who has been speaking up for Ukraine and organized a charity exhibition last summer. Ukrainian tennis player Eloína Svitolina will be playing her soon. They are friends. Eloína had to give up Harry Styles tickets to make it to Wimbledon. She just beat a Belarus player. Harry Styles is on tour and invited her to any of his remaining four shows.

In December two botany professors arrived at Kherson State University.

Ukraine has begun construction of a Bayraktar drone manufacturing plant.
