Photo by @michaelclarkphoto // Juan Aguada ( @juan_aguada ), Richie Graham ( @richiegrahamphoto ), and Stefan Blawath traversing a section of the Patagonia Ice Field called the Cordon Marconi near El Chalten, Argentina. This was a long day—or at least it felt like a long day getting down to the Cerro Torre basecamp on the western side of Cerro Torre. Luckily we had clear skies and relatively gentle winds. When Cerro Torre came into view it was a spectacular sight and I’ll never forget camping under the Torre group. #cerrotorre #patagonicecap #patagonia
Photo by @simonnorfolkstudio | A grass-roofed church at Hof, sits below the Vatnajökull glacier, Iceland. Very few of these churches remain today. The practice of turfing over the roofs of buildings was developed in Northern Europe as early as the Iron Age. Settlers constructed shelters from trees for the frame, stone slabs for the roof and then covered the structure with turf for insulation and protection from the harsh elements. Hofskirkja (Hof church) was built in 1884 and dedicated to saint Clement.

Workers are strapped in 400 feet above the ground so they can install LED lights on the side of this building in Hanoi, Vietnam. Completing the task for 30 stories will take about a week.

#NatGeoHoy | Día de la Conciencia por los Pingüinos 🐧
Más de la mitad de las colonias de pingüinos están amenazadas y en declinación. Esto se debe al cambio climático, la contaminación y la industria pesquera, entre otros factores. El explorador de National Geographic Pablo Borboroglu (@pabloborboroglu), lidera la @globalpenguinsociety e impulsa la conservación de esta especie ¡Súmate a la causa!

For the past five years, artist Parth Kothekar (@parthkothekar) has hand-carved creations, each from a single sheet of paper. It takes him about three weeks to sketch 20 to 30 designs. Then, Parth, 27, selects his 10 favorite ones and starts cutting away. Each papercut can take up to an entire week to complete, down to the last detail.
Although Parth’s intricate masterpieces might seem frail, the women they depict are anything but. “I was brought up seeing the struggle of my mother,” he says. “That’s why I always create female characters. I wanted to show them as powerful and strong through my artwork.” See how these intricate papercuts are made, today on our story.
