Heard Island 🌋❄️ — one of the most remote, wild, and untouched places on Earth.

Located deep in the southern Indian Ocean, this Australian territory lies about 4,100 km southwest of mainland Australia and 1,700 km north of Antarctica. It’s completely uninhabited, visited only occasionally by scientists and researchers — and for good reason.

At the heart of the island rises Big Ben, an active volcano towering 2,745 meters (9,006 feet) high. Yes — an erupting volcano wrapped in glaciers. Welcome to Earth's version of an alien world.

🏔️ Most of the island is blanketed in glaciers, pounded by brutal winds, heavy snowfall, and freezing temperatures year-round. It’s nature on hard mode — rugged, raw, and untouched.

🐧 Despite the harshness, life thrives here. Huge colonies of penguins, seals, and seabirds call it home, part of a fragile, pristine ecosystem almost completely untouched by human activity.

🛑 Because of its ecological importance, Heard Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and human access is tightly controlled. No airports, no ports — the only way to get there is by ship, and that journey takes weeks through rough, unpredictable seas.

It’s one of the few places on Earth where nature still reigns completely wild.

The first howls of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years was heard today. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.

The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years.

This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity.

Colossal says: From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.

But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.

What are your thoughts?

In Ukraine, Alisa carried her elderly dog on her shoulders and walked 17 kilometers to cross the Polish border with him.

Before saying, “I can’t keep my pet,” or making excuses to abandon the most loyal member of your family, remember this moment.

Family is family. No one gets left behind.
