  • Kayaking in Antarctica off the Scandinavian-built ice-breaker Akademik Sergey Vavilov, originally built for the Russian Academy of Science and still used occasionally by scientists, is now predominantly used for adventure touring in both the Arctic and the Antarctic. The ship is currently operated by a Russian crew, and staffed with employees of the adventure touring company Quark Expeditions, and carries around 100 passengers at a time. Skontorp Cove.

  • An iceberg calving and splitting in half in the S. Shetand Island off Half Moon Island, home to over 3000 pairs of chinstrap penguins, many with chicks at this time of year, late in the Antarctic summer. Off the Antarctic Peninsula.

  • Greenlandic icebergs and adjacent mountains on the eastern coast across the sound from Cape Hope catch the late-night sunlight. During the summer at Cap Hope, the sun never actually disappears below the horizon, though it does dip briefly behind the high hills that surround the village.

  • Seal hunter Emil Madsen stops to look for prey (polar bears, seals, musk ox, and geese) while the dogs take the moment to rest near Cap Hope village, Greenland.  (Emil Madsen is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)  The caloric value of his typical day's worth of food in May was 6500 kcals. He is 40 years of age; 5 feet, 8.5 inches tall; and 170 pounds. Here he is looking for seals near the ice edge (a giant iceberg is in the open water in the background) The family has been traveling by dogsled for a good portion of the day. When the snow crust is hard enough to ensure that the dogs won't break through, they can pull the half-ton weight of the sled for hours on end. On level ground, the animals pull at about the pace of a running human, but the sleds can whip down hills so fast that drivers must step on the brake at the rear of the sled to avoid running over their dogs.

  • (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). Natalie Molloy of Brisbane, Australia, puts a lot of thought, and ingredients, into her dinner salads, though not a lot of dressing. Shopping for the evening's meal, she buys English spinach, tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, avocado, mung beans, capsicum (peppers), snap peas, and corn; though decides against the iceberg lettuce in her hand.

  • (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). Taking special care about cracks in the ice, Emil Madsen selects the best spot for some on-shore seal hunting. In the spring this can be dangerous because the ice is breaking up and sometimes huge pieces break off and move out to sea. He is carrying a rifle and home-made wooden gun support. Giant iceberg in background  in the open water beyond the sea ice edge.(Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats)

On level ground, the animals pull at about the pace of a running human, but the sleds can whip down hills so fast that drivers must step on the brake at the rear of the sled to avoid running over their dogs. The dog sled is on flat sea ice here: a giant iceberg is in the background at the ice edge.  (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)

  • A wooden cross stands guard over the village cemetery in Cap Hope. Now home to just ten people, Cap Hope is where both Emil and Erika Madsen grew up. Emil's father is buried in this cemetery. Sparkling in the distance, a huge iceberg catches the 10:00 p.m. light. During the summer at Cap Hope, the sun never actually disappears below the horizon, though it does dip briefly behind the high hills that surround the village.
