A summer of Geography

The months of the summer holidays have seen a never-ending number of stories which connect with the geography curriculum.
Is there an opportunity here to start the year by exploring these stories?
The heatwave was the main story through July and early August.
There were also major wildfires in a number of countries, including the USA, Spain, Portugal and Greece, where there was a tragic incident in a coastal town.
There were plenty of stories relating to Brexit of course, and our connections with the EU.
A major new "hothouse Earth" story was also in the papers.
There are a number of large scale connections in the atmosphere which may begin to break down and change.
We've also had earthquakes on Lombok and other areas, and eruptions of volcanoes, including Etna yesterday.

I've created the first slide of a collaborative Google Slide document. If you could add another slide showing one geographical event over the summer that would be great, and we could all use it.
Feel free to add other student tasks and activities as well, or ideas of what to do with the crowdsourced images...
