Argentine flight instructor jumps from plane during lesson An Argentine flight instructor has died after jumping from a moving aircraft during a lesson, leaving his student to land the plane by herself. Bertazzo was on board a Cessna 150 aircraft with a 22-year-old student named Rosario at the time, Argentine news outlet Todo Noticias reported. The student said Bertazzo told her, "You know what you have to do, carry on", before taking off his headset and seatbelt, opening the door and jumping out of the plane, TN reported. Maximum points for the style to Mr. Bertazzo. Despite being in "complete shock", Rosario managed to land the plane safely, Álvarez said, and the aircraft was undamaged.
Just 5,000 years ago, the Arctic looked very different. During the Holocene Thermal Maximum, summers in the northern hemisphere were 3C warmer than today. And life thrived. Birch and spruce forests expanded all the way to the edges of the Arctic Ocean in places like northern Siberia and Alaska. Ancient pollen, macro fossils and soil records confirmed these weren't isolated trees. They formed sustained forests, replacing tundra with thriving ecosystems. Permafrost back then was weak, patchy or absent. Peatlands developed, supporting rich life where frozen ground would later take over. But around 5,000 years ago, colder and wetter conditions returned. This marked the neoglacial period. The trees retreated, permafrost spread. And the Arctic became the frozen, barren expanse we know today. Yet the land still remembers. Buried trunks, preserved seeds and deep peat layers tell the story of a greener, warmer north. Ignored in today's narratives is an inconvenient truth: The climate is always changing, and history shows us warmth is beneficial for life.
