YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WYOMING - MAY 19: The sun rises above steam rising at Mammoth Hot Springs on May 19, 2026 in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Yellowstone National Park became the nation’s first national park on March 1, 1872, when President Ulysses S. Grant signed a congressional act protecting the land “for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.” Today, the 2.2-million-acre park thrives as part of one of Earth's last nearly intact large temperate ecosystems, famously preserving over 10,000 hydrothermal features and around 500 geysers—roughly 50 percent of the world’s total. Boasting the largest concentration of mammals in the lower 48 states, Yellowstone stands as the only place in the U.S. where bison have roamed continuously since prehistoric times. Native American communities inhabited and conserved the lands for over 10,000 years, with 27 individual tribes recognized by the National Park Service as carrying modern-day and historic ties to Yellowstone. National Park Week will celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with a weeklong celebration in August featuring hundreds of commemorative events at many of America’s 433 national parks under the theme “Celebrate America’s Story”.

Canadians on Gaza flotilla say they saw beatings as Israel intercepted 48 boats
A boat bearing symbols of one of the vessels belonging to the Gaza-bound aid flotilla (L) and intercepted by the Israeli navy, is motored towards the Israeli port of Ashdod, about 40 kilometres south of Tel Aviv, on May 19, 2026. The Global Sumud Flotilla vessels are the latest in a string of attempts by activists to breach Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory, with the last convoy intercepted by Israeli forces. Israel controls all entry points into Gaza, which has been under an Israeli blockade since 2007. During the Gaza war, triggered by Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel, the territory has suffered severe shortages of food, medicine and other essential supplies, with Israel at times halting aid deliveries entirely. The Israeli ministry rejected claims that Gaza was facing aid shortages. (Photo by Jack GUEZ / AFP via Getty Images)
