  • Photo by @estherhorvath / This may be the northernmost Halloween party, in the central Arctic Ocean on the MOSAiC expedition. As I document research in the polar regions, I'm also interested in how people spend their free time when they're so far from civilization. Ronny Engelmann, a scientist with the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research, donned a space blanket to become C-3PO for a Halloween party on the icebreaker Polarstern. Dressing up was mandatory. And since expedition participants did not bring along costumes, they had to improvise with materials found on the ship. Please follow @estherhorvath for more polar stories.
  • Photo by Robbie Shone @shonephoto / Križna jama (cave) is one of the few tourism caves in Slovenia that doesn't contain concrete pathways or harsh lighting, which is harmful to the interior environment. With a chain of underground lakes of emerald green water, the cave is considered to be one of the most beautiful and best preserved in Europe, and indeed the world.
  • Photo by Cristina Mittermeier @Mitty / Secure in its foothold among the tidal flats of British Columbia's shores, this lone female sea wolf paused to gaze at me. I’ve spent hours waiting in the cold rain with my camera in hand for these coastal canines to grow comfortable enough to reveal their secret lives to me. But once I gained their trust, their highly inquisitive nature became immediately apparent. Rain wolves are very affectionate with one another, and the bond between pack members is unbreakable. They subsist almost exclusively on marine life, a behavior so unique that taxonomists are considering classifying their population as a separate species from their inland kin. However, these incredibly unique animals are afforded no formal protection. I hope to change that through sharing my experiences with them and encouraging people to see wolves as socially complex beings, not just predators. Follow me @Mitty to learn more about these elusive animals and how we can help protect them.
  • Photo by @michaelchristopherbrown / “The moon jellyfish can age backward, form hordes of clones, and regenerate lost body parts….a hole rips through his body, but seals up and heals completely….an appendage is sliced off; the tissues grow back perfectly. He is capable of extreme regeneration, perhaps even immortality.” -National Geographic. During a visit to the Sea Center in Santa Barbara, California, with my daughter, Poppy, we saw these beautiful moon jellyfish. One of the joys of fatherhood has been showing her the wonders of the natural world. Follow me @michaelchristopherbrown for more human stories from around the world.
  • Photo by @acacia.johnson / As I sat with my father at the creek where my parents worked as bear guides in the 1980s, this female brown bear descended from the hillside, approaching to within a few meters away. She fished, ate, and napped next to us for hours, completely at peace with our presence. In Alaska's McNeil State Game Refuge, the world's largest congregations of brown bears have been habituated to coexist with small groups of guided viewers who visit during summer. But these bears are threatened by the proposed Pebble Mine, which could risk poisoning the ecosystem and fracture the habitat the bears need to thrive. If we truly protect our remaining wilderness and the abundance of land that feeds us all, these kinds of humbling and awe-inspiring encounters can be preserved for generations to come. But the choice is ours to make. Follow me at @acacia.johnson for more stories from Alaska and beyond. #alaska #brownbears #pebblemine Check out Nat Geo's link in bio for more on this story.
  • Photo by @beverlyjoubert / Can we fix our broken relationship with nature before it’s too late? We’ve lost a heart-breaking 68% of global wildlife populations to human activity in the past 50 years alone. In some parts of the world, the losses are even more pronounced. We’ve significantly altered almost every corner of the planet’s surface. This doesn’t just pose a lethal threat to the ever expanding ranks of endangered species and ecosystems all around us. It threatens our own survival too. It is easy, and at times perhaps convenient, to overlook those countless services, big and small, that the natural world provides –until they run out. #biodiversity #fornature #conservation
  • Photo by @dina_litovsky / I spend my nights walking around New York City, photographing a metropolis slowly returning to life after months in quarantine. I look for streetlights that offer sanctuary, illuminating lonely passersby shuffling in and out of darkness. For more images of NYC, follow me @dina_litovsky.
