Each year, the majestic view of Mt Fuji's snow-capped peak (pictured top right) draws hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world. But many visitors will be in for a disappointment this year as Japan's highest peak is still snowless almost a month later than expected. As of this Monday, there was no snow on Mt Fuji's peak (pictured left) - marking the latest date that the mountain has been bare since records began 130 years ago. This beats the previous record of October 26 which occurred once in 1995 and again in 2016.

How Poland's mysterious 'vampire' spent her final moments: Wealthy 18-year-old dubbed 'Zosia' was pinned to the ground with a sickle across her throat and a padlock on her toe to 'prevent her returning from the dead'
It was two years ago in rural Poland that archeologists made a gruesome discovery - a skeleton buried with a sickle across her neck and a giant padlock on her toe. Feared as a 'real-life vampire', this form of 'double protection' was fitted to the female corpse by Polish locals to keep her from rising from the grave. Now, the experts have revealed new information about the woman, along with artist's illustrations of what she may have looked like.

Rise of the killer robots: Experts reveal just how close we are to a Terminator-style takeover
It's been 40 years since The Terminator hit the big screen, shocking cinemagoers with its terrifying depiction of a post-apocalyptic future. In James Cameron 's epic sci-fi blockbuster, billions of people are killed when self-aware machines trigger a global nuclear war around the start of the 21st century. While this sounds like pure sci-fi, academic and industry figures - including Elon Musk - fear that humanity will indeed be annihilated by AI. But when exactly will this happen? And will humanity's demise mirror the apocalypse depicted in the Hollywood film? MailOnline spoke to experts to find out just how close we are to a Terminator-style takeover.

Scientists SOLVE the mystery of the 'Holy Grail' cup discovered in a secret tomb in the ancient city of Petra - but they still have no idea about the identities of the 12 people buried there
In the 1989 film 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' (pictured top right), the Holy Grail is found hidden deep within the Arabian Temple of the Sun. In an almost uncanny coincidence, archaeologists uncovered a 'holy grail' cup (pictured left) and 12 bodies buried (pictured right) inside the movie's real-life filming location in Jordan this summer. Researchers made the shocking discovery while excavating the 2,000-year-old Al Kazneh, or Treasury, in the ancient city of Petra. But an expert now says that, despite its striking similarity to the prop from the film, this is not a case of 'art imitating life'.
Global warming will be TWICE as bad as predicted: Earth is on track for 'catastrophic' 3.1°C of warming this century, the UN warns
The world is on track for a 'catastrophic' 3.1°C of global warming by the end of this century, the UN has warned. In its annual report on the emission cuts needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said the goal would 'soon be dead' without a global mobilisation on a scale and pace never seen before. It warned the world was currently on track for temperature rises of 2.6°C to 3.1°C, depending on how much of the currently promised climate action is delivered.
Floods hit... the SAHARA! Shocking before and after satellite images show a huge lake emerging after the desert was struck by its biggest deluge for decades
It's known as one of the driest places on our planet. But shocking before and after images show exactly what happened when the Sahara Desert was struck by its biggest deluge for decades. The images were captured by NASA 's Landsat 9 satellite - an Earth observation satellite that regularly beams back photos of our planet. In the first image, Algeria's salt-encrusted Sebkha el Melah can be seen on August 12, before the rains hit. However, by September 29, a huge green lake had emerged at the site, after runoff from a storm partially filled the ephemeral desert lake.
The innocent-looking dog breeds that can turn deadly: Vets issue warning after labradoodle was among pack of eight 'out of control' animals who mauled woman, 28, to death in park
Natasha Johnston, 28, a dog walker from Croydon, was mauled to death after being set upon by eight crazed animals.

Now, vets have revealed the breeds that have been involved in the most incidents over the last 35 years - including several smaller dogs.
The Gulf Stream is on the verge of COLLAPSING, leading climate scientists warn - 'impacting the entire world for centuries to come'
In the 2004 film 'The Day After Tomorrow' (pictured left), the world is plunged into a new ice age after climate change leads to the collapse of the Gulf Stream. That might have been considered science fiction 20 years ago, but scientists now warn that the film's terrifying plot could be coming true. In an open letter to Nordic policymakers, 44 of the world's leading climate scientists have warned that key Atlantic Ocean currents are on the brink of failure. The scientists caution that the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) (pictured bottom right) could lead to 'devastating and irreversible impacts' which will affect 'the entire world for centuries to come'.

De-extinction of the Tasmanian Tiger takes a major step forwards: Scientists reconstruct the genome of the extinct creature - and it could allow them to resurrect the lost species
It is one of the world's most distinctive extinct animals and can be found on Tasmania 's coat of arms, government logo, and even on the state's licence plates. Now, it might not be long before real Tasmanian Tigers - also known as thylacines - are seen once again. Colossal Biosciences, a US-based startup, has taken a major step towards resurrecting the lost species. The team has successfully reconstructed the animal's genome with 99.99 per cent accuracy. Ben Lamm, CEO of Colossal Biosciences told MailOnline: 'We have not publicly set a date for the thylacine but as our announcement today shows, the team is making significant progress across many of the core research areas.'

They found that smoking not only stains and makes dents in your teeth, but it leaves tiny chemical molecules in your gnashers - that potentially stay there forever.
Earth's ancient APOCALYPSE: Huge comet hit Earth 12,000 years ago - sparking an ice age that decimated humans, expert claims in controversial Netflix series
It's common knowledge that the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid 66 million years ago. But what if that wasn't the only time in Earth's history that a space rock triggered an ancient apocalypse? In a new Netflix series, controversial author Graham Hancock claims that an ancient super-civilisation in Antarctica was destroyed by a collision with a comet 12,000 years ago. If true, Mr Hancock's theory would overturn almost everything we know about the story of human civilisation. However, many experts are concerned that the story of 'Ancient Apocolypse' is misleading, with some dismissing it as 'pseudoscientific.'
