The first sunrise of the spring Snapped at Argentina’s Marambio base in Antarctica on November 10th last year, the solar orb is just reemerging above the horizon after its winter absence from the skies above the south pole during the annual long night and twilight. It heralds the beginning of the long summer day that will shine on the annual influx of scientists flying in to join the hardy souls who have overwintered and work on their various research projects, from astronomy and meteorite collecting to palaeontology and climate science. The still frozen Wedell Sea sits in the foreground. Loz Image credit: Jorgelina Alvarez via EPOD https://epod.usra.edu/

Video by Bertie Gregory @bertiegregory | A harp seal pup takes its first swimming lesson in the Gulf of St Lawrence, Quebec, Canada. This species has an extraordinary breeding cycle. Females give birth to pups on moving ice floes. They suckle the pup for just 10 to 14 days. During the last few days of this short period, they encourage the pup to get into the water to help them learn to swim (as seen in this video). After the swimming lessons, they abandon the pup. The females then mate with the males that have been waiting nearby, before heading north to their feeding grounds. The pups at two weeks old are left alone with nothing to eat. To see these awesome animals in action, check out my new online series "Wild_Life: The Big Freeze." Available on National Geographic YouTube and at natgeo.com/wildlife.

The Atlantic is constantly raging against the calm serene waters of the Caribbean creating massive swells over the bridge. The day we shot here the bridge had closed because of a massive storm the day before that took the lives of two tourists. In order for us to get to the bridge we needed a police escort, but even then they couldn’t help us if we were taken by a wave. It’s so surreal to see a place like this exist. Just 9 meters stand apart between these two bodies of water. The bridge connects North and South Eleuthera and is vital to the economy of the island. If you can withstand the insane swells it’s one of the most surreal places i’ve ever seen. I’ll include some bts of the bridge on my story! 🚁
