  • GRE04.0379.xf1brw		(MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). The Madsen family on a day of dogsled travel. 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. (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.) /// The Madsen family of Cap Hope village, Greenland is one of the thirty families featured, with a weeks’ worth of food, in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. The family consists of Emil Madsen, 40, his wife Erika, 26, and their children Abraham, 12, Martin, 9, and Belissa, 6. (Please refer to Hungry Planet book p. 144-145 for a family portrait [Image number GRE04.0001.xxf1rw] including a weeks’ worth of food, and the family’s detailed food list with total cost.)

  • Seal hunter Emil Madsen shouts commands to his dogs as they try to get over a crack in the ice near Cap Hope Village in Greenland.  (Emil Madsen is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) Getting over these cracks can be very dangerous as there is always the very serious worry of falling in. In the spring this can be dangerous because the ice is breaking up and sometimes huge pieces break off and move out to sea. 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.

Declining lake levels have exposed the tufa towers we see today. Some of the tufa towers are up to 30 feet high. Route 395: Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.

  • An adventure tourism team from the Scandinavian-built ice-breaker, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, watches humpback whales from an inflatable zodiac boat in Wilhelmina Bay, Antarctic Peninsula. The icebreaker was originally built for the Russian Academy of Science and although scientists still use it occasionally, it 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.

  • A huge piece of a glacier calves off into the sea behind nesting Gentoo penguins on Cuverville Island, Antarctic Peninsula.  Nesting pairs on the Gentoo penguin colony on the island tend their eggs and chicks. They have to be vigilant to ward off skua birds who try to eat the eggs and chicks.

  • The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC]: Seismic Monitor Nuclear test project in The Republic of Kazakhstan. In 1986 the USSR Academy of Sciences allowed the NRDC to install seismic monitoring instruments within a few hundred kilometers of their nuclear test site to verify that the USSR was not testing nuclear weapons underground during the nuclear test ban. By allowing this monitoring on their soil and by monitoring near the Nevada test site in the USA, mutual trust was built that facilitated the end of the Cold War.

  • Hypothermia Research at the University of Minnesota Hypothermia laboratory in Duluth; volunteers in survival suit test immersed in cold water at a temperature of 53 degrees Fahrenheit (10 °C). A variety of probes measure their vital functions, skin & core body temperatures. MODEL RELEASED [1988]

  • Hypothermia Research: Research on exercise in cold water, part of an assessment of exercise regimes for victims of multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, at the University of Minnesota Hypothermia laboratory in Duluth, a volunteer rides an exercise bicycle while immersed in cold water at a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. A variety of probes measure his vital functions, skin & core body temperatures. The tube connected to his mouth delivers a monitored air supply. People afflicted by MS need regular exercise, but the rise in body temperature this provokes often causes uncontrollable shaking. Exercise in cold water helps counter this effect. MODEL RELEASED [1988]  .Hypothermia is a medical condition in which the victim's core body temperature has dropped to significantly below normal and normal metabolism begins to be impaired. This begins to occur when the core temperature drops below 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). If body temperature falls below 32 °C (90 °F), the condition can become critical and eventually fatal. Body temperatures below 27 °C (80 °F) are almost uniformly fatal, though body temperatures as low as 14 °C (57.5 °F) have been known to be survivable.

  • While Emil Madsen stows away the gear and winches the boat ashore, his nephew Julian and son Abraham drag the freshly killed seal up to the house, followed by inquisitive dogs licking up the trail of blood at Cap Hope  village, Greenland.  (Emil Madsen is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) Although the boys are almost staggering with tiredness (it is 1:30 in the morning) they haul the animal inside, leaving it in the hallway by the bathroom overnight.

  • Signs of the four-year siege of Sarajevo are still obvious today. Although food stalls have returned to the Ciglane market, parts of the Olympic park behind it have become a burial ground for siege victims. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 49).

  • The crosses in the village cemetery in Ittoqqortoormiit (population 550) catch the late-night sunlight. During the summer here the sun never actually disappears below the horizon, though it does dip briefly behind the high hills that surround the village. (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)

  • Gers and hand built homes without water or plumbing sprang up on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia as more and more of Mongolia's rural population moved to the capital city to find work.  Russian style apartment buildings mark the edge of the established city, and the growing suburban ger settlements stretch into the surrounding hills. (Gers are circular tent-like dwellings with a collapsible wooden frame covered in animal skins, felt, and/or canvas. It serves as a home for shepherds and families alike. From coverage of revisit to Material World Project family in Mongolia, 2001.
