2. National Park Service Ranger Jeff Denny shows one of the eighteen cuts made on a thousand-year-old Redwood tree outside
of Orick, California June 3, 2014. The largest of the cuts was six feet by three feet; cuts can put the tree at risk for disease and
infection. Redwood burls are reproductive growths on the tree that can sprout clones and are highly sought after for their
unique grain patterns popular in high-end furniture and artwork. Recent poaching for redwood burls in the Redwood
National Park and Northern California State Parks forced officials to close the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, a ten mile
drive through the old growth Redwood forest, after sunset, according to the National Park Service. REUTERS/Nick Adams

Wars, Scapa Flow was an important British naval base, and the site of significant loss of life. Following the end of World War One, 74 German warships were
interned there, and on June 21, 1919 most were deliberately sunk, or scuttled, at the orders of German Rear Admiral Ludwig Von Reuter, who mistakenly
thought that the Armistice had broken down and wanted to prevent the British from using the ships. Now Scapa Flow is a popular site for divers, who explore
the few wrecks that still remain at the bottom. The year 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. REUTERS/Nigel Roddis

Baron Gautsch, an Austro-Hungarian steamboat which sank in the northern Croatian Adriatic sea, will be marked on August 13, 2014. The ship, originally used
to service passenger lines, had been leased by the Austro-Hungarian Army following the July 1914 outbreak of World War One to transport troops, only to run
into a friendly minefield off the Brijuni islands less than a month later. Estimates say between 240 and 390 people perished in the sinking, making it one of the
biggest losses of life in World War One. Today the shipwreck lies at a depth of 40 meters off the coast of Rovinj and is said to be the most popular site for divers
in the Adriatic. REUTERS/Antonio Bronic
