BOMBONNES PROTOXYDE D AZOTE
In a street in the suburbs of Toulouse, nitrous oxide canisters litter the ground along with balloons.

On January 29, 2025, French deputies adopted a law to restrict the sale of this product due to serious health risks to professionals only in 2026. February 9, 2025, Cugnaux, France.

Icelandic surfers fear port development will ruin 'perfect point break'
Volcanoes, northern lights and midnight sun are all on offer at this haven, which locals want to preserve.
Despite air and water temperatures in the single digits, two surfers and a couple of seals delight in the conditions at Þorlákshöfn in south-west Iceland.
This spot, where surfers can enjoy either the midnight sun or the northern lights depending on the time of year, has in recent years become the heart of Iceland's rapidly growing surfing community.
As well as being one of Iceland's only accessible point breaks (when wave swell strikes a point of land), it boasts unique scenery - the backdrop features several volcanoes - and consistently good waves. With its close proximity to Reykjavík, it has become a destination for locals, professionals and tourists alike.

'Who'd have thought it?': north Devon named UK's first world surfing reserve
Eighteen miles of coastline win formal protection, joining 11 sites globally including Malibu and Santa Cruz.
Life could get even busier at Croyde and neighbouring beaches after next weekend, when 18 miles of the coastline are formally designated a world surfing reserve, joining 11 other stretches of coast, including Malibu and Santa Cruz in California, Punta de Lobos in Chile and Noosa in Australia.
It is the first place in the UK to achieve the designation, and champions of the project hope it will help protect the waves for future generations.
There is much more to do. Claire Moodie, the head of Plastic Free North Devon, which has a place on the reserve's local stewardship council, said beaches here, as in many parts of the UK, were blighted by sewage and microplastics. "Having that international designation proves how important this place is," she said. "It gives us more weight."

At the Museum of British Surfing in Braunton, Kevin "Cookie" Cook, the chair of the trustees, said north Devon should be proud to be taking its place on the world stage. "We stand alongside anywhere in the world - Malibu, Noosa, wherever. North Devon is our own little piece of heaven and we have to do our damndest to ensure what we've been so fortunate to enjoy is there for future generations - waves for all, for ever."
