Linda speaks with Wouter van Hoven, the chair of the Kissama Foundation, and a professor at the University of Pretoria, about the elephants who will be transferred from South Africa to Angola. He has been examining two elephant families in the crowded Madikwe National Park in South Africa. Tomorrow, they will be captured, then flown to their new home in Angola's Quicama National Park. South Africa has too many elephants in its park, and Angola doesn't have enough. The elephants in Angola were killed during 25 years of civil war by soldiers for sport, and by poachers.

Scientists report in the journal Nature Geoscience that they've uncovered the largest volcano on Earth in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, about 1,000 miles east of Japan. In fact it's one of the largest in the solar system, second only to Olympus Mons on Mars. Scientists have been studying the massive structure for decades, but now are confirming it's a single volcano about the size of New Mexico. It rises about four miles off the sea floor, but doesn't break through the ocean surface. Called Tamu Massif, it hasn't erupted in more than 130 million years, helping to keep its true nature secret.
