Lots of new material from all corners of the globe graces our site this month. Theo Bosboom covers the latest Icelandic volcano eruption, Markus Varesvuo photographs black grouse displaying in late spring snow in Finland, and Tony Wu reveals the secret world of Japan's adorable flying squirrels. Meanwhile Claudio Contreras has returned from Guadalupe Island in Mexico, where endemic plants are making a comeback, Franco Banfi documents the rich marine life of Italy's Amalfi Coast, and Pete Oxford provides fascinating coverage of people from Madagascar, Bolivia and Papua New Guinea. You also find graphic new macro shots of insects and plants, or why not indulge in a spot of forest bathing?
