Photo: @andy_mann // An arctic pallete of blue and white, revealed in passing by our planets largest land carnivore, the polar bear. It’s an honor and a privilege to experience such a fleeting moment in the wild. Thor’s Land, located in southeast Greenland, remains one of the wildest, remote stretches of arctic coastline in the world. Its a delicate chemistry of Inuit culture, mother nature and a rapidly changing climate, all hanging in the balance. // Please follow me @andy_mann to the very edge as we use our lenses and voices to interpret and help protect the last wild kingdoms on earth.

“I use photography as a tool for social change,” says Farshad Usyan (@farshadusyan), a 25-year-old photojournalist from northern Afghanistan. “I am interested in people’s stories, cultures, livelihoods, struggles and how they overcome them, and my photography depicts the everyday challenges that my country faces. Many people outside of Afghanistan only know it through media covering the war, but do not know what we face in our everyday lives — how women are still being mistreated, how many children are still laborers and how climate change is affecting our agriculture. I believe that photojournalism is a way to promote change because images touch people and compel them to act.”

Swipe left for the complete view of the full moon setting at sunrise with strong anticrepescular rays (atmospheric phenomenon) and hundreds of seabirds flying from their nesting place in the islands near Rio de Janeiro to inland and the city's seashore. Some of these huge frigatebirds have 2 meters wingspan.

La mayoría de personas puede aguantar la respiración bajo el agua durante unos cuantos segundos; algunas durante unos pocos minutos. Pero un grupo de personas conocidos como los Bajau llevan la actividad del buceo al extremo: ellos son capaces de estar sumergidos unos 13 minutos a profundidades cercanas a los 60 metros.
