    Video shows the moment a young girl enjoying the ocean at a South Carolina beach sees a shark’s fin coming out of the water and approaching her.

    Sara Oister, 11, was boogie-boarding in the water at Myrtle Beach before the terrifying encounter.

    “I was taking video of her, and all of a sudden, she starts running out of water,” said Sara’s mom, Nicole Oister. “She said she saw a fin coming up out of the water towards her … I looked back on the video to see if I had captured it, I did.”

    Lewis Pugh begins his swim across the 10-kilometer mouth of the Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland to highlight the speed of the Climate Crisis ahead of the UN Climate Conference (Cop26) in Glasgow, where Pugh will address world leaders and demand urgent action.

    The Ilulissat Icefjord is fed by the world’s fastest-moving glacier – moving at an average of 30 meters per day.

    The Ilulissat Glacier carves icebergs over 1 km tall.

    Pugh’s attempt will be the world’s first multi-day swim in the Polar regions.

    Crusoe, the internet’s most famous dachshund, and his siblings Daphne and Oakley did their own version of the Olympics games, just for fun! They competed in Swimming, Weight Lifting, Fencing, High Dive, Long Jump, Wrestling, and Running. As you can imagine, some of the events are hilarious!

    They may not be winners, but they are all wieners!
