Pierce Brosnan Admits Guilt in Yellowstone Off-Trail Incident

Actor Pierce Brosnan pleaded guilty to hiking in a restricted thermal area of Yellowstone National Park and was ordered to pay a $500 fine and make a $1,000 donation to the park. The 70-year-old actor had initially entered a not-guilty plea in January but reversed it during a court hearing by phone. Another charge of violating closures and use limits was dismissed as part of the plea deal. Yellowstone National Park requires visitors to stay on boardwalks or trails in thermal areas due to the potential danger of hot springs causing serious or fatal burns.

The incident occurred after the teenagers were involved in a car crash on the Banfield Freeway. The Portland Police Bureau is investigating the incident and believes speeding may have been a factor. The rise in fatal crashes this year has prompted the bureau to evaluate the effectiveness of its traffic division and explore partnerships to address traffic concerns and safety around MAX lines.

Iceland's Erupting Volcano: Slowing Eruption and Decreasing Gas Pollution

The volcanic eruption in Iceland near Reykjavik is slowing down and gas pollution is decreasing, according to experts. However, residents are still advised to stay away from the volcano due to the toxic gas emissions. The eruption, classified as a fissure eruption, has attracted interest from some individuals who have attempted to get closer to the site. The Icelandic Met Office has urged people to stay out of the restricted area. While it is not currently dangerous to be outside, the situation remains unpredictable, and children should not be allowed near the area even after restrictions are lifted.
