FEATURE - Eine junge Robbe legt sich entspannt auf eine Eisscholle
COOL POSE...... A young seal strikes a relaxed pose as it reclines on an ice floe. The crabeater seal dried off on the large block of floating sea ice for a quarter of an hour - completely unmoved by a boat sailing just a few feet away.
These photos were captured from the boat by wildlife photographer Nick Dale at Portal Point in Charlotte Bay, on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. SEE OUOR COPY FOR DETAILS.

Steve and the picket fence
Steve – a strange shimmering ribbon of light in the night sky – became the subject of debate in 2017. Photographs of this remarkable phenomena have been studied to understand their position in the night sky. Sometimes Steve can be seen accompanied by smudges of green lines – nicknamed ‘picket fences’ owing to their appearance.Credit: ESA / eyevine

Antarctic Warm Up
Researchers record hottest ever reading on Earth's coldest continent where temperatures usually range between 14F and -76F. Temperatures in Antarctica have reached an unprecedented 63.5F, the U.N. weather agency has announced, March 2017. Over the past 50 years, the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula has been one of the most rapidly warming parts of the planet, with its glaciers in accelerated retreat in the last 12 years. Air temperature increases of 3 degrees in the Antarctic Peninsula, which is 5 times the mean rate of global warming as reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC. This change can also be noted in the Southern Ocean which is warming more rapidly than the global ocean as a whole. Antarctica’s immense ice sheet is up to 4.8km thick and contains 90% of the world’s fresh water, enough to raise sea level by around 60 meters were it all to melt. The warming of the Peninsula has reshaped the physical and living environment of the region. The distribution of penguin colonies has changed as the sea ice conditions alter and on land has resulted in increased colonization by plants. A long-term decline in the abundance of Antarctic krill may be associated with reduced sea ice. Many glaciers have retreated and ice shelves that formerly fringed the Peninsula have retreated in recent years, some have collapsed completely. Antarctic species are dramatically impacted, Adélie penguin populations have been declining in recent years due to reductions in krill populations. Emperor penguins are highly vulnerable and are predicted to suffer as the world's average temperature increases. Climate change in Antarctica will thus have dramatic effects both globally and locally.

Animal Valentine images - 2015
Wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein shares some romantically-tinged animal images. The Wimbledon-based guide for Exodus travels explains: "It is wrong and wildly inaccurate to apply our emotions to animals even though sometimes understandable. Relationships are a key part of any animal hierarchy be it predators or birds. It fascinates me watching interaction and just sometimes there appears to be genuine affection."

With Saturday (25 April) being World Penguin Day, wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein has shared some of his favourite pictures of the aquatic, flightless birds.
Wimbledon-based Paul, who guides for Exodus Travels, has led many expeditions to the poles on small ice-breakers, so has had great opportunites to document penguin behaviour.
He explains: "I love the polar bears of the North but there is something magical about the penguins down South that entrance me. Yes it can be a mission to get there but it is palpably worth it.

The Beauty Of Being Stranded In The Antarctic
It was the story that made headlines around the world as an expedition found itself stuck in Antarctic waters just before Christmas.
Reports of the eventual rescue after ten days stranded in pack ice were aided by the vibrant photography of expedition doctor Andrew Peacock.
Now, having arrived safely back in Queensland, Australia, on Wednesday (29 Jan), Dr Peacock has had time to reflect on his experience and select some of his favourite photographs from the expedition.
The 46-year-old was a member of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) on board the M.V. Akademik Shokalskiy, a chartered Russian vessel beset in ice on 23 December.
Chinese Icebreaker Xue Long was unable to forge a path to extricate the Shokalskiy, but was able to send a helicopter to evacuate passengers to the Australian ship Aurora Australis.
Dr Peacock's pictures range from playful images of crew interaction with adelie penguins to a stunning artistic capture of the vessel's path through an "iceberg alley".
Speaking from his Queensland home, Dr Peacock explains: "I was asked to be the AAE doctor by a climbing friend, Greg Mortimer, one of Australia's most lauded mountaineers. In addition to working in expedition medicine and as an A&E and GP locum, I am an adventure travel photographer and as usual - and deliberately - on these trips I 'morph' into the expedition photographer, giving instruction and talks on photography to the clients.
"Being an expedition doctor can be a thankless task because I'm only useful when things go wrong and nobody wants that to happen so it's always been seen as a good...

The Beauty Of Being Stranded In The Antarctic
It was the story that made headlines around the world as an expedition found itself stuck in Antarctic waters just before Christmas.
Reports of the eventual rescue after ten days stranded in pack ice were aided by the vibrant photography of expedition doctor Andrew Peacock.
Now, having arrived safely back in Queensland, Australia, on Wednesday (29 Jan), Dr Peacock has had time to reflect on his experience and select some of his favourite photographs from the expedition.
The 46-year-old was a member of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) on board the M.V. Akademik Shokalskiy, a chartered Russian vessel beset in ice on 23 December.
Chinese Icebreaker Xue Long was unable to forge a path to extricate the Shokalskiy, but was able to send a helicopter to evacuate passengers to the Australian ship Aurora Australis.
Dr Peacock's pictures range from playful images of crew interaction with adelie penguins to a stunning artistic capture of the vessel's path through an "iceberg alley".
Speaking from his Queensland home, Dr Peacock explains: "I was asked to be the AAE doctor by a climbing friend, Greg Mortimer, one of Australia's most lauded mountaineers. In addition to working in expedition medicine and as an A&E and GP locum, I am an adventure travel photographer and as usual - and deliberately - on these trips I 'morph' into the expedition photographer, giving instruction and talks on photography to the clients.
"Being an expedition doctor can be a thankless task because I'm only useful when things go wrong and nobody wants that to happen so it's always been seen as a good thing to have another useful skill to add to the mix so that I can alway...
