Photos show Swiss glaciers' uncertain future as 'ambassadors of climate change'

Drip, drip. Trickle, trickle.That's the sound of water seeping from a sunbaked and slushy Swiss glacier that geoscientists are monitoring for signs of continued retreat by the majestic masses of ice under the heat of global warming. In recent years, glaciologists like Matthias Huss of the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, known as ETHZ, and others have turned to dramatic measures to help protect glaciers like the Rhone Glacier, which feeds into the river of the same name that runs through Switzerland and France.One of those desperate steps involves using giant sheets to cover the ice like blankets to slow the melt.Switzerland is continental Europe’s glacier capital, with some 1,400 that provide drinking water, irrigation for farmland in many parts of Europe including French wine country, and hydropower that generates most of the country’s electricity.The number has been dwindling. The Alpine country has already lost up to 1,000 small glaciers, and the bigger ones...

Thousands without power on record hot day in Mass.

More than 9,000 customers were without power across Massachusetts on Tuesday evening, as the hottest day of the year was winding down. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency reported 9,383 power customers in the dark just before 7:30 p.m. Among them was most of the town of Middleborough — town officials said their gas and electric utility informed them of a significant outage about 5 p.m..

Person critically hurt by truck at NH chocolate factory

For bride-to-be Morgan Irons, her bachelorette party started out as a picture-perfect escape on the open water, but it quickly became a personal tribute to the 50th anniversary of “Jaws” as she came face-to-face with her deepest fear.“Any type of open water, I just am very fearful,” Irons said.To celebrate, Irons’ future sister-in-law, Colby Taylor, planned a surprise bachelorette cruise around the picturesque Isle of Shoals, promising a relaxing day of whale watching.“I’ve never seen a shark. My dad’s been a lobsterman his whole life, I’ve always been on the boat, I’ve never seen a shark in these waters, you have nothing to be worried about,” Taylor recalled assuring her.That assurance quickly evaporated, according to RJ Lincoln, the ship’s first mate.“All the gals are out back having a fun time, and all of the sudden, we hear Colby scream,” Lincoln said.“Colby goes, ‘I see a fin!’ And we all look and everybody’s like, ‘Oh, no, that’s a bird, that’s a sunfish.’ And she’s like, ‘No, that’s a fin!’ And my heart starts racing,” Irons said.The bride’s last sail before the veil quickly evoked images of the iconic 1975 movie.“We were quoting ‘Jaws’ going out into the ocean, so maybe we manifested the sharks? I’m not sure we meant to,” Taylor said.As Taylor captured the sharks on camera, Irons sought refuge at the back of the boat. The group, about 15 miles offshore, ultimately spotted not one, but two sharks.“We looked down and then this monstrosity, it looked prehistoric, like a dinosaur coming out from underneath. It was just this massive, massive body,” Taylor said.The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (AWSC) confirmed they were basking sharks, a species known to migrate to these waters around this time of year. As the second-largest shark species, outgrown only by the whale shark, they can reach lengths of up to 40 feet, though most adults average between 20 and 30 feet. Their immense size often leads to them being mistaken for great white sharks, particularly in Massachusetts waters.However, these gentle giants are filter-feeders and harmless to humans, according to the AWSC. They’re commonly seen swimming near the surface with their dorsal fin protruding, mouths wide open as they filter plankton using bristle-like gill rakers.RJ Lincoln, despite his extensive time on the water, still found the sighting remarkable.“To be honest, that’s the biggest basking shark I’ve ever seen. It was like 25 or 30 feet,” Lincoln said.“It was the topic of conversation for the rest of the night,” Taylor said.“Definitely a day I will never forget. That is for sure,” Irons added.More on the 50th anniversary of "Jaws"Martha's Vineyard7 hours ago‘Jaws' at 50: Recap of homecoming weekend on Martha's Vineyard for iconic filmMassachusetts21 hours agoHero's reception on Martha's Vineyard for actor Richard Dreyfuss on 50th anniversary of ‘Jaws'Martha's VineyardJun 20Uncovering hidden ‘Jaws' lore on the Vineyard — 50 years after movie's premiere

Boston set to bake in more simmering temperatures Monday — here's where to cool down

Another juror from the Karen Read murder retrial has come forward, speaking exclusively with NBC10 Boston on Sunday.During a sit-down interview, the juror explained the process of coming to the decision that Read was not guilty of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe.She says she’ll never forget the sound of the crowd outside the courthouse in Dedham last Wednesday, erupting after the verdict was read that Read had been found not guilty in O’Keefe’s death.“It was overwhelming. There was so much grief and so much joy in that moment and you really felt the weight of everything we had done that day.”The juror wanted to remain anonymous. She says at first, she didn’t even want to be seated on the jury.“I love my job. I didn’t want to not be there for a long time. Also, it’s a huge case that everyone has really made their mind up on.”But this juror didn’t, not until after deliberations started following closing arguments, she says.“Everybody in that room was very smart and very committed to telling their story and their version of the story, which more than anything led me to walk into that jury room with no opinion.”After about two months of being on the jury together, without being able to share an opinion.“I think we started making a lot more progress when I got huge poster board paper and then worked with other members of the jury to write down the definition of every charge.”“At the end of the day, this was an absolute tragedy for the O’Keefe family and I hope that they find justice.”More stories about the Karen Read caseKaren ReadJun 20Here's what we've learned from the Karen Read jurors who have spoken out so farKaren ReadJun 21Juror opens up in interview after Karen Read trialKaren ReadJun 21‘We're elated': Karen Read's brother says she's relieved after verdict, talks what's next

Madeline Murphy remembers the instructions she was given on the set of “Jumanji” when she was an extra some 30 years ago: “Pretend you’re frightened and you’re screaming because an elephant’s coming after you.”So, that’s what she did in the Central Square of Keene, New Hampshire, running back and forth, over and over, on a long day in November 1994.“I was pretty tired by the end of the day, and it was cold,” said Murphy, 61. She got a check for $60.47 — and several seconds of screen time. Murphy was one of about 125 extras cast in the classic Robin Williams film, which is marking its 30th anniversary. It has spawned several sequels, including one planned for next year. The city of about 23,000 people in the southwestern corner of the state is celebrating its ties to “Jumanji” this weekend.The festivities include a parade, scavenger hunt and a “Rhino Rumble Road Race” saluting the film’s stampede scenes of elephants, rhinos and zebras. Runners in inflatable animal costumes sprinted about a quarter mile (less than half a kilometer) around the square Saturday.Juniper Thurston and her daughters Elska and Madison Christgau wore rhino costumes, which they said were difficult to run in but better ventilated than expected. Thurston, who lives in nearby Hancock, was 13 when “Jumanji” was filmed, and she remembers visiting Keene to watch her friends perform as extras.“It was literally right here — it was amazing,” Thurston said. “It was just wild, and to be here today and be able to have a small part our own stampede is kind of awesome.”Elska Christgau, 9, said everyone in her family loves the film, and that her favorite part is “the mystery and the Jumanji game” itself.Crowds dressed in inflatable costumes participate in the ‘Rhino Rumble Road Race’ to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film ‘Jumanji’ in downtown Keene, N.H. on Saturday, June 21, 2025. (AP Photo/Leah Willingham)Keene gets picked thanks to coffee cravingBased on the 1981 children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg about a mysterious jungle adventure board game, the movie version of “Jumanji” is set in the fictional small town of Brantford, New Hampshire.Veteran location manager Dow Griffith was crisscrossing New England in search of the right spot. A coffee lover who grew up in Seattle, he recalled feeling desperate one day for a good brew. He was a bit east of Keene at the time, and someone suggested a shop that was near the square. “I took my cherished cup of double dry cappuccino out to the front porch, took a sip, looked to my left — and by God — there was the place I had been looking for!” he told The Associated Press. “So really, we have coffee to thank for the whole thing.” Scenes were filmed at the square that fall and the following spring. The fall scenes show a present-day town that had declined. Extras played homeless people and looters, in addition to panicked runners fleeing from the jungle animals.Joanne Hof, now 78, had needed her son’s help to spot herself behind the elephants, running with her hands up. Hof, a reading specialist, bought a videotape of “Jumanji” and showed it to the kids she worked with. “They were very impressed that I was in the movie,” she said. The spring scenes, appearing early in the film, depict the town in 1969. Extras drove classic cars around the pristine-looking square and others walked around, dressed for that time period. “I told the makeup person, ‘Do you know how to do a French twist?’” recalled Kate Beetle, 74, of Alstead, who said she can be seen for “a microsecond” crossing a street. “They just found me the right lady’s suit and right flat shoes, and then the hair is kind of what I suspect did it.” The city helped transform itselfThe “Jumanji” crews worked well with the city in getting the permits to transform Central Square into a dilapidated, neglected piece of public property, recalled Patty Little, who recently retired as Keene’s clerk. “They brought in old, dead shrubbery and threw it around and made the paint peel on the gazebo,” she said. Items such as parking meters and lilac bushes were removed and a large Civil War-era statue was brought in to cover a fountain. Graffiti was on the walls, and crumpled vehicles in the stampede scene were anchored in place. Everything was restored, and fresh flowers were brought in the following spring, she said.

Little, whose classic 1961 Ambassador is caught on camera, could see everything happening from her office window.“Did I get a lot of work done? I don’t know during those days,” she said. Locals watch and meet Robin WilliamsA crowd turned out to watch a long-haired, bearded Williams run down the street in a leaf-adorned tunic. In the movie, he had just been freed from the game that had trapped him as a boy for years. “He’s shorter than I thought he was!” one viewer said, according to local chronicler Susan MacNeil’s book, “When Jumanji Came to Keene.” Others said, “He has great legs — muscular, isn’t he? But so hairy!” and “Isn’t he freezing dressed like that?”The mayor honored him with a key to the city. Williams, noticing the mayor was a bit shorter, suddenly announced at the presentation, “’I am the mayor of Munchkinland,’ ” with a voice to match, City Councilor Randy Filiault recalled. He stayed in character for 15 to 20 minutes, “just bouncing off the walls,” approaching people in the audience and pulling their hats over their eyes. Eventually, he stopped, ending with a solemn “Thank you,” Filiault said.“I am really seeing something cool here,” Filiault remembered thinking. “How fortunate we were.”When Williams died by suicide in 2014, people left flowers and photos beneath a painted “Parrish Shoes” wall sign advertising a fictional business left over from “Jumanji.” Former Keene police officer Joe Collins, who was assigned to watch over then-child actors Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce, also died by suicide, last year. Festival organizers planned a discussion about mental health and suicide prevention to pay tribute to Williams and Collins.“I think Robin would have been impressed with that,” said Murphy, who met Williams and shook his hand.
