Photograph by @paulnicklen taken while on assignment for @natgeo in Canada’s Yukon Territory That moment when the clouds part and a solar storm reaches Earth, causing billions of electrons and protons to collide, igniting the various gases around them. I have been watching the aurora since I was five years old when we moved to Baffin Island and it is just as beautiful each and every time. It is definitely something that has to be experienced. To see more of my favourite images of this haunting phenomena, please #followme on @paulnicklen // #gratitude #beauty #nature #naturelovers #tbt #yukon #aurora #northernlights #instagood #photooftheday

Flying between rainbows and rain showers wasn’t in the flight plan. It was the bonus that came with having a dedicated pilot, with over 30 years of experience, wiling to have his plane on the tarmac, ready to fly at 5:00am—well before first light. @lighthawk_org pilot, Jim Grady, was our guide last week as we explored the farmland around Montrose, Colorado.

Photo by @CoryRichards. Zebra and elephants share the banks of the lower Cuito River near Meno a Kwena Tented Camp. Shot on assignment for @natgeo profiling the source of the Okavango Delta's water in the Angolan highlands. The team, lead by Steven Boyes PhD traveled over 1,200 miles by Mekoro doing the first descent of the Cuito river and mega transect of the Okavango's source, its outlet in the delta, and its ultimate end in Makgadikgadi Pans. Congrats to @larryjalapeno @dave.krugman @storytellers.s @live_free_run_far for winning the @natgeobook and @natgeomuseum #natgeoinspires photo challenge. Keep sharing what inspires you.

12. Слияние рек Колорадо и Литл-Колорадо в Гранд-Каньоне считается священным для многих индейских племён

Photo Pete McBride @pedromcbride // The Confluence. A sacred place where the Colorado River meets the turquoise waters of the Little Colorado, holds profound spiritual significance for many Native Americans whose ancestral lands lie within the canyon, including the Zuni, the Hopi, and the Navajo. This is also the location of a proposed tramway that would deliver 10,000 people a day. Today, as we celebrate 100 year of @nationalparkservice, what path will we take? “Are We Losing the Grand Canyon?” in @natgeo on newsstands now and at the link in my bio @pedromcbride. #chasingrivers #grandcanyon #NPS100

Photo @ladzinski / There's a very special feeling you get when you see the rain stop and grey skies transform into explosive color. It's like being given an unexpected gift. Photographed 2 days ago along the #GR5 trail in the French Alps. @natgeotravel

Photo by @daviddoubilet An iceberg in afternoon backlight near Red Island Scoredbysund Fjord Greenland. The ugly reality of rapid retreat of glaciers have created beautifully sculpted iceberg gardens. Diving near Red Island was like swimming in an Alice in Wonderland world of light and reflections. Icebergs are the perfect metaphor for oceans ……only a small fraction is visible to our naked eye.

Photo by @FransLanting Cheetahs are the most vulnerable of Africa’s big cats, with cub mortality as high as 95 percent, often due to predation by lions and hyenas. But studies have shown that a small number of cheetah females are so good at raising cubs that we can call them “supermoms.” On assignment for @natgeo in the grasslands of Tanzania's Serengeti, I made this image of one supermom resting in the midday shade with one of her cubs. Follow me @FransLanting to see an Olympics gallery of “Animals as Athletes,” including cheetahs—the fastest land animal on earth. @natgeotravel @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #Cheetah #BigCats #Tanzania #Serengeti #Supermom

Photo by @BrianSkerry. The giant tail of a North Atlantic Right Whale, dripping with water as the animal begins a deep dive in Canada’s Bay of Fundy on an autumn afternoon. The North Atlantic Right whale is the most endangered species of whale on the planet, with perhaps less than 500 remaining. Their populations have never recovered from the whaling days due to the fact that they are ‘urban whales’ and live along the eastern seaboard of North America, where they must contend with industrialization. Each year whales die due to entanglement in fishing gear or due to ship strikes. New regulations that reduce the speed of ship traffic in critical habitats for Right Whales may have a positive effect over time.

Photo by @randyolson Wood River Nebraska — This was the last night of the last trip for an @natgeo assignment on the Ogallala Aquifer. I had bedded down in the blind when the cranes started to land for the night just outside… then the storm rolled in. Sand Hill Cranes are the grassland birds of the great plains. They migrate from Siberia to northern Mexico. Brice Krohn of @cranetrustnvc told me they counted 413,000 Sandhill Cranes on this evening… more than they’ve ever counted before. These conservation groups are working like crazy to keep 20 miles of the Platte River braided and perfect habitat for the cranes that come through their area. @thephotosociety @natgeocreative

Photo by @FransLanting “Elephant Reflections” At a water hole in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, a majestic bull elephant towers above his reflection with a herd of thirsty kudus on the horizon. I spent time at the water’s edge in the darkness before dawn, with elephants moving around me like shadowy shapes, waiting for an opportunity to capture this classic scene of wild Africa. I share this image in honor of World Elephant Day and I salute the organizations and individuals who are standing up to stop the slaughter of elephants worldwide. Follow me @FransLanting to see more images of elephants and other wildlife from around the world. @natgeotravel @thephotosociety @natgeocreative #savetheelephants #Elephants #Tanzania #Okavango #Dawn #WildAid #wild_net #WorldElephantDay
