This site is fascinating. Explore the horrific amount of space junk around our planet or track satellites.
A superb database! Also pretty horrendous.

Lovely animation for those teaching the atmosphere. Helps to visualise angle of rays in relation to the Earth's orbit, explain seasons and energy surplus/deficit.

Clach Thoull is a raised sea arch at Port Appin. Formed when the power of the sea carved into a downward fault plane in the headland, it was subsequently raised by post-glacial isostatic uplift.

Fluvioglacial features of Glenmore, Cairngorms. Stunning An Lochan Uaine (Green Loch) is an esker dammed lake. Green colour is caused by fairies washing clothes say locals. Alternatively it's tree reflection or algae. Esker is marked on photo.

One of the unusual sights in the Ojców National Park in Poland. When this area was part of the Russian Empire, the Tsar decreed there should be no sacred buildings built on this land. This was circumvented by building this chapel over water. #geographyteacher #Geography #Ojców

Lovely resurgent stream in the Kościeliska Valley in the Tatra Mountains of southern Poland.

A clip of the front cover of Geoscientist magazine, with the headline 'On the Move: the implications of our migrating magnetic North Pole'. In the background is an illustration of the magnetic field in space.

Over the past few decades, magnetic north has been moving at extraordinary rates.

But what does this mean for those who use magnetic navigation systems?

BGS' Ciaran Beggan explains in the new issue of Geoscientist magazine, out today.

My first, very basic (don't laugh - more practice required) 🤣🤣 animation using @FlipaClip. It is pretty straightforward to use and clearly has huge potential as a teaching aid, or a great activity for any landscape feature formation lessons.

Nature taking over when humans abandon. These photos from Pripyat in the Chernobyl exclusion zone show how quickly nature fights back. The tree in the right photo devouring the fence even looks like it has teeth! #pripyat #chernobyl #geographyteacher #geosky #rewilding

Respecting the countryside. Always an important message and what a fantastic job the students made of their information leaflets. 👍😃

Cool geographical fact. The Scottish Highlands, the Appalachians and the Atlas mountains were once part of the same range which spanned Pangea. This ridge was known as the Central Pangean Mountains.

This S1 student is a brilliant artist, but I find that all students love a bit of colouring in and project work. Classes really buy into the "special geographical technique" 😜 of colouring around edges darker and lighter in the middle. Exemplars help.
