Satellite View of Gulf of Morbihan - France

Handout Satellite View, dated October 17, 2025, shows the Gulf of Morbihan in France. The Gulf of Morbihan, part of the Natura 2000 network, forms one of France’s most distinctive coastal landscapes. This inland sea is dotted with dozens of small islands and peninsulas, creating a labyrinth of sheltered bays, narrow channels, and shifting tidal flats. Its highly indented shape supports a mosaic of coastal habitats, from eelgrass meadows to mudflats, which provide vital feeding and breeding grounds for migratory birds and numerous marine species. Located in Brittany, near towns such as Vannes, Arradon, and Arzon, the gulf’s intricate contours are clearly visible in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image acquired on 17 October 2025. The deep blues highlight the flooded channels at high tide, while surrounding vegetation appears in bright green. Photo by European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery via ABACAPRESS.COM

Erotic Roman Mosaic Stolen By Wehrmacht Officer Returns to Pompeii - Italy

An erotic Ancient Roman mosaic stolen by a Wehrmacht officer in 1944 and given to a German citizen was returned to its rightful home at Pompeii, Italy in a ceremony by Italy's crack art cops on July 15, 2025. The German army captain, responsible for the military supply chain in Italy during World War II, handed over the mosaic of a pair of lovers in an erotic scene to a German citizen whose family have now returned it thanks to the Carabinieri of the Cultural Heritage Protection Unit (TPC) of Rome. The work of great cultural interest dates between the mid-last century BC and the 1st century AD. Repatriated from Germany through a diplomatic expedition, the mosaic most likely decorated the floor of a private room reserved for the master of the house. The work is likely from the Vesuvian area, perhaps from a villa in the Pompeian suburbs.
