• Photograph by @thomaspeschak A new open source low cost underwater drone @openrov_hq is test flown by its creator @davidtlang. I shot this split level image in the incredibly rich waters of the Solomon Islands in the western Pacific Ocean. I was onboard the @natgeo @lindbladexp vessel Orion for @mission_blue II and @TED, a voyage that brought together more than 100 scientists, conservationists, artists and innovators to present, discuss and workshop solutions to mitigate the greatest threats to our oceans. Getting more people to connect with the underwater world is critical and a new generation of low cost underwater drones might be our best weapon yet to engage people in conservation. The more eyes we have in the oceans, the more people will understand and care. @thomaspeschak by natgeo http://ift.tt/1ORW5PC

• Fall, Oulanka NP, Finland. Photo by @peteressick. This is the time of year to photograph mist on rivers and lakes in your nature photos. The mist is caused when the air temperature becomes colder than the water temperature. I have found about a 20 degree difference makes for a lot of mist, and the larger the difference the more mist. The early mornings are obviously the best time to photograph, as the air temperature is at its coolest before the sun rises and “burns off” the mist. by natgeo http://ift.tt/1OIrGVt

• Photograph by @paulnicklen //There is no safer place for a new born walrus pup than on its mother’s back. Walrus raise their young longer than any other pinniped (seal/walrus family) species before they are weaned. A pup can stay with its mom for up to two or even three years. By then, a pup can weigh up to 600 pounds. To see what a 600 pound baby walrus looks like laying on its mother’s back, please #follow me on @paulnicklen. More importantly, walrus need multi-year ice in order to give birth to their pups during the spring and summer. The latest science from the most credible scientists in the world are saying that the Arctic could be free of mulit-year sea ice during the summer months in the next 10 to 30 years having catastrophic effects for many species. We must wean ourselves from our dependence on fossil fuels and gravitate quickly towards clean energy solutions. #climatechange #cleanenergy #baby #walrus #mother #family #love #beauty #gratitude @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #thejourney #explore #nature #wildlife by natgeo http://ift.tt/1LFEmGB

• photo by @joelsartore | If you saw this #beautiful bird soaring through the air, you just might mistake it for a kite because of its many colors. Meet the European bee-eater from the #Budapest Zoo. There name is no misnomer- this species can eat up to 250 bees a day! But don’t worry, they don’t swallow the stingers! #Follow me, @joelsartore, to see more incredible animals! #joelsartore #photooftheday by natgeo http://ift.tt/1MFcIJI

• Photo by @mattiasklumofficial Home sweet home! You obviously don’t have to travel far to find interesting things to photograph. This happens to be one of my favourite oak trees photographed close to my home at night near Lake Mälaren, Sweden. Oak trees are just magnificent and provide a habitat super rich in biodiversity. Go to @mattiasklumofficial to check out autumn in my backyard! Oaks can host hundreds of species of insect, supplying many birds with an important food source. In autumn mammals such as squirrels, badgers and deer take advantage of the falling acorns. Shot and enjoyed together with @monikaklum , my sons @ansgarklumphotos & @einarklum #oak #instagood #pictureoftheday #night #mälaren #uppsala #sweden #ekoln #nature #swedish #biodiversity #science @natgeo @thephotosociety @natgeocreative by natgeo http://ift.tt/1Gr8bh9

• Photograph by @thomaspeschak A small school of juvenile jacks are the travel companions of this whale shark, the largest fish on the ocean. The small fish gain protection from most predators just by being close to this giant. Unpublished photograph from my National Geographic magazine story on Arabian Seas. @saveourseasfoundation @photosociety @natgeocreative @natgeo For more shark images you could follow me @thomaspeschak ….of course you don’t have to, but it would be nice to see you over there :-) by natgeo http://ift.tt/1LpGpAB
