Mount Fuji is an active stratovolcano on Honshu, Japan's main island, with a summit at 3,776 metres. It is the highest mountain in Japan and the second-highest volcano on any Asian island, after Mount Kerinci in Sumatra. Its last eruption took place from 1707 to 1708. The mountain sits about 100 kilometres southwest of Tokyo and is visible from the city on clear days. Its cone is almost perfectly symmetrical and snow-covered for much of the year.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
