Experts from the University of Victoria have determined that only 5% of the brilliant, extremely beautiful and unique corals on Christmas Island survived the El Niño phenomenon in 2016. El Niño caused sea water abnormally warm, causing many storms. Christmas Island is the largest atoll in the world and an extremely attractive diving spot.

The entire world's highest ski area at the top of the mountain has been closed permanently. Previously, the melting of Chacaltaya was predicted, but scientists think it will not melt until 2015.
