photo by @chamiltonjames / Charlie Hamilton James - the morning sun lights the top of the Grand Teton reflected in the beaver pond at Schwabachers Landing in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Schwabachers is a popular spot for photographers, especially in the fall when the colours of the changing leaves and the moody skies can create gorgeous reflection in the still water of the numerous ponds there. Many of the ponds are created by beavers damming small streams that off shoot the Snake River. The result is a beautiful wetland eco-system with a backdrop that has to be one of the most spectacular mountains ranges in the world.

The Liberian flag flies over fishing boats as the sun sets behind West Point, a fishing community (or township) of Monrovia, Liberia in Africa. It is located on a peninsula which juts out into the Atlantic Ocean between the Mesurado and Saint Paul rivers. Home to approximately 75,000 people, it is one of Monrovia's most densely populated neighborhoods, and environmental degradation has gradually caused part of the peninsula to erode into the ocean. Endemic problems include overpopulation and diseases such as tuberculosis. It was also heavily it by Ebola.
It is rumored that the Liberian government has threatened to move the community to make room for beach-front hotels. #liberia

Two polar bears, a mother and her cub, clamber over the sea ice with the pink winter sky glowing behind them. “These are the moments I live for,” says nature photographer Joshua Holko.
High in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, Holko is on a mission to document polar bears in the wild. Braving the elements for up to 16 hours a day, he is joined on his quest by cinematographers Abraham Joffe and Dom West of Untitled Film Works. Despite technical issues and frostbite due to the subzero temperatures, the crew persisted in the depths of winter to capture the haunting beauty of this frozen expanse.
In Ghosts of the Arctic, get up close to polar bears in their natural habitat and experience the breathtaking Arctic landscape in stunning detail.

Photo by @PaulNicklen // For three seasons in the ‘90’s, I had the privilege of working as a polar bear guide in Churchill, Manitoba. To spend time with polar bears day-in and day-out was a tremendous gift. I had just left my job as a wildlife biologist in the Northwest Territories. Science is the foundation of knowledge but it often fails to make the emotional connection required to break down the walls of apathy. Some people will simply never believe in climate change despite irrefutable scientific evidence, loss of species and habitat, bizarre weather events, and unprecedented natural disasters. So, as we head into holidays—where many of us will find ourselves debating with loved ones about important topics like climate change—do yourself a favour and search “global temperatures over the past 100 years.” Find one of the innumerable graphs and studies that show the consistent rise in temperature since the beginning of the industrial revolution. The @NASAClimateChange website has fantastic information. Share it with others. Kill everyone with kindness, intelligence, patience and empathy as the climate change crisis is urgent and important. #follow me on @PaulNicklen to see some of my favorite images as we head into Christmas. #gratitude #bear #polarbear #nature #naturelovers #bethechange

Video @ladzinski / I was lucky enough to share this vibrant and explosive sunset with this resident horse on a farm high in the #SantaMarta mountains of northern Colombia. In recent history this entire area of mountains jungle terrain was controlled almost exclusively by narco guerrillas, making it unsafe to enter. Biologists have recently discovered new birds in the area in the last few years alone and there is still a vast and complicated topography that remains untouched.
