Photograph by @nickcobbing on the Arctic Ocean sea ice. This ivory gull circled the ship I was working from, eventually coming close enough to photograph it from the deck. The birds aren’t super common so it’s always a buzz to see one. Unlike the polar bear and walrus, the ivory gull hasn’t become ‘famous’. I think it’s just as important, being part of the ecosystem that has adapted to use sea ice in order to live. According to the IUCN red list of threatened species, the birds are ‘near threatened’ and thought to be decreasing in numbers across the Arctic region. Just last week the National Snow and Ice Data Centre (supported by NASA) released the figures for the minimum extent of the summer ice over the Arctic Ocean. The ice is still losing cover and thickness, which means a diminishing and fragmented habitat for all the ice associated animals. by natgeo http://ift.tt/1gwWKbj

#HomoNaledi Found in #RisingStar cave in the #CradleOfHumanKind northwest of #Johannesburg #SouthAfrica. One of the most important finds of our early ancestors has been found by @Natgeo explorer and a paleoanthropologist #LeeBerger of #Wits university. The fossil has been named Homo naledi by Berger , “Judging by the features of the fossil bones, H. naledi may indeed be one of the earliest members of our genus.” #humanEvolution #homoNaledi. #Evolution @thephotosociety @InstituteArtist #WitsUniversity @robertclarkphoto @thephotosociety by natgeo http://ift.tt/1Lm9kXK

For years people have asked me if I have photographed white tigers. I answer that I have not been to Las Vegas and that is the only place that I know of that has white tigers besides zoo’s – and I do not photograph in zoo’s very often. White tigers are no longer found in the wild. White tigers are like black panthers – which are melanistic jaguars or leopards – black, but they still have the rosettes of jaguars or the spots of leopards. I went to the Singapore Zoo the other day and saw white tigers. Singapore is situated close to 2 of the most endangered subspecies of tigers, the Malay and Sumatran tiger – both under great threat from habitat loss and destruction from unregulated palm oil, paper logging and poaching. We need to find a way to save the Malay and Sumatran tigers! One way to help is to only buy products labeled “Sustainable Palm Oil” As a consumer we all have power when we stick together. One of my goals with my photography is to help raise awareness about the plights facing these beautiful animals. National Geographic Big Cats Initiative goal is to also raise awareness and implement change to the dire situation facing them. So take the time and visit CauseAnUproar.org for ways to become involved in saving big cats!

Photograph by @paulnicklen // After waiting weeks to even get a glimpse of wild wolves on the BC coast, we found a pair of female wolves on one of the outer coastal islands. Not only did they accept my presence but can you imagine as a photographer, when these wolves decided to play and chase each other around the beach? At one moment, it appeared that I was being used as a pylon in their game of pursuit. I was using a 600mm lens and this wolf looks much closer in this photo than it actually was. Some of these wolves are comfortable around people which makes them very susceptible to hunting. Any BC resident they can buy a license for 5.00 to shoot these wolves. We need to stop this. To learn a lot more about these unique wolves that live primarily on seafood please #follow me on @paulnicklen.

Photograph by George Steinmetz on assignment for @natgeo W57 is the working name for this futuristic housing development on the West Side Highway in Manhattan. The pyramid-shaped tower will have 750 units totaling 860,0000 sq ft., and the steeply-sloped facade will be punctuated with angular balconies and an integrated green plaza. With the building boom taking place in New York city these days it seems that the only constant is change. To see more of New York from the air, visit @newyorkairbook by natgeo http://ift.tt/1W8ypc7

Uzma, 4, learns how to write the alphabet at a school in Meerwala, Pakistan. Providing girls with an education helps break the cycle of poverty: educated girls and women are less likely to marry early and against their will; more likely to have healthy pregnancies and babies; and are more likely to send their children to school. Full access to a quality education creates a ripple effect of opportunity that influences generations to come. This image was previously featured on this feed, but I am reposting again because I have just made it available for purchase as part of @tooyoungtowed’s week long sale of my hand printed & signed images. This is your chance to own a print by a National Geographic photographer and help girls at the same time! 100% of all proceeds received will support @tooyoungtowed’s programming to help girls and end child marriage. MAKE CHANGE WITH US by purchasing a print before the fundraiser ends on Sept. 20th, visit:http://ift.tt/1EYvkXo.

@marcusbleasdale I’m here studying an MSt in international relations whilst working for @natgeo In Central African Republic. Follow me for more updates. College Chapel is the chapel to King’s College of the University of Cambridge, and it is considered one of the finest examples of late Perpendicular Gothic English architecture. The chapel was built in phases by a succession of kings of England from 1446 to 1515, a period which spanned the Wars of the Roses. The chapel’s large stained glass windows were not completed until 1531, and its early Renaissancerood screen was erected in 1532–36. The chapel is an active house of worship, and home of the King’s College Choir. The chapel is a significant tourist site and commonly used symbol of the city of Cambridge. by natgeo http://ift.tt/1FSnFVS

Photo by @stephenwilkes: The Bethlehem Steel plant was one of America’s largest steel producers from 1857-2003. Here lie steel scraps of the many great structures that made up the old steel mill. Ironically, the mass of these remnants overshadow the Bessemer furnaces that created them, hidden in the background of this image–now blocked by their product’s remains. Today, much of the steel has been reused and re-purposed but serves as a reminder of what was. This image is part of a series titled, “Remnants”, which is sourced from work I have done over the years. It is one of many images that serve to remind us of what we leave behind in a world forever impacted by our actions and “needs”. Find out more about the series and see more images from the collection on my account @stephenwilkes. #RemnantsExhibit #BethlehemSteel #scraps #reuse #reduce by natgeo http://ift.tt/1V0WeWc

Photograph by @thomaspeschak Common dolphins are what I call baitball architects. During South Africa’s sardine run they are the only predator fast, agile and intelligent enough to control the movement of the fish. In large pods these dolphins carve off smaller groups of sardines from the massive main shoals and herd them to the surface. Some dolphins will continue to circle and herd the fish while others rush in to feed on this silvery bounty. #southafrica #sardinerun #dolphins @natgeocreative To see more images from one of natures greatest wildlife spectacles you can follow @thomaspeschak by natgeo http://ift.tt/1V0EDbo

Photo by @amivitale #onassignment for @natgeo. This is a rare moment when a panda keeper in costume does a quick two-month health check on a cub at Wolong China Conservation & Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan Province, China. He first must carefully wait for the mother panda to leave while she forages for food and then quickly weigh and check the cub. Because these pandas will be released back into the wild, the interaction with the keepers is very limited and they must wear costumes which are scented so the pandas never get used to humans. The pandas must go through a series of tests over two years to be sure they are ready to live in the wild because after just one generation in captivity, they forget the skills they need to survive in the wild. Follow @amivitale for more adorable pandas. @ipandacam @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #pandas #babypandas #wolong #sichuan #conservation #natureisspeaking #china #animals #wildlife #photooftheday #photography #nature #seetheworld #photojournalism #amivitale by natgeo http://ift.tt/1OgbY39

photo by @joelsartore | Meet the largest species of gecko, the giant day gecko, photographed at the Sedgwick County Zoo (@sedgwickcountyzoo) in Wichita, Kansas. Originating from Madagascar, these reptiles are most commonly found in the trees of tropical rainforests, where they use their adhesive toe pads to climb even the smoothest of surfaces. Please follow me, @joelsartore, to see more species from the #PhotoArk. #photooftheday #joelsartore by natgeo http://ift.tt/1NDYput

Photograph by @thomaspeschak For more than half the year the western edge of Oman’s Arabian sea coast is bathed in warm water. The seabed is carpeted in corals and alive with colorful reef fish. However when the southeastern monsoon begins to blow in June the water cools rapidly and seasonal algae and kelp forests begin to grow quickly. The corals survive beneath the seaweed fronds, but it is always a curious sight to encounter porcupine and other coral reef fish swimming through undersea forests of kelp.

@natgeo Photograph by @cookjenshel The Battle of Antietam began at dawn on September 17, 1862. It remains the bloodiest single day in American military history – 23, 000 lives were lost. The sycamore tree, at the end of the Burnside Bridge is the last living witness of that battle – and is part of our Wise Trees project. The battle was a turning point in the Civil War, providing impetus for President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. @thephotosociety @natgeocreative #WiseTrees #BattleofAntietam #CivilWar #AntietamNationalBattlefield by natgeo http://ift.tt/1P14sGG
