Construction of Pinglu Canal In Qinzhou - China

(251218) -- QINZHOU, Dec. 18, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This combo photo shows the aerial view of the construction site of the Qingnian hub, on Dec. 24, 2023 (above), and the aerial view of the construction site of this hub on Dec. 17, 2025 (below), on the Pinglu Canal in Qinzhou, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Three years on, the construction of the Pinglu Canal as a core component of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor has shown remarkable progress. Upon completion, the 134.2-km canal would wind its way across Nanning and Qinzhou of Guangxi until it reaches the Beibu Gulf. It is expected to serve as an artery for river-sea inter-modal transportation in the southwestern part of the country. Photo by Zhang Ailin/XInhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

Satellite View of Shark Bay UNESCO World Heritage Site - Australia

Satellite View of Shark Bay UNESCO World Heritage Site - Australia

Handout satellite view, dated on November 26, 2025, shows the Shark Bay UNESCO World Heritage Site. Shark Bay, located on the western coast of Australia, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its exceptional natural beauty, including unique marine biodiversity and one of the world's most extensive seagrass beds. The site is globally significant for its ecological processes, geological formations, and as a habitat for threatened species such as dugongs and green turtles. These fragile ecosystems are highly sensitive to changes in water quality, sea temperature, and coastal development. This Copernicus Sentinel-2 image, acquired on 26 November 2025, shows the striking coastal and marine features of Shark Bay in high resolution. The contrasting colours reveal shallow sandbanks, seagrass meadows, and hypersaline basins, as well as the arid terrestrial surroundings near Denham.
