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 always be of use to client...

Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) photographic competition to celebrate World Wetland's Day, Britain - 02 Feb 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Christopher Waddell / Rex Features (1568672e)
Wetlands With Wow Factor
These incredible images of lagoons, lakes, bogs and brooks are all winning entries in a competition to celebrate World Wetland's Day (2nd Feb).
Icebergs on a black beach in Iceland, a wetland park in the centre of bustling Hong Kong and flocks of birds on lake in Finland all show the beauty and plight of this endangered habitat.
Wetlands are an area of land which holds moisture, either all year round or seasonally, such as saltwater swamps, flood plains, fens, meadows and ponds.
They are found on every continent in the world, except Antarctica, and cover six per cent of the land surface of the world.
They are essential to life on earth and even millions of years ago many dinosaur species depended on them for their food and safety.
But they are being lost or damaged more rapidly than any other ecosystem and in the last 100 years the amount of inland wetland in the world has halved.
This is mainly due to land reclamation, changes to agriculture, pollution, water diversions and other developments.
The results have been catastrophic to wildlife, with one third of amphibians, over 40 per cent of reptiles and 30 per cent of mammals pushed close to extinction.
"Wetland is arguably the hardest habitat to describe in words, which is precisely why it's so rewarding to photograph," said Martin Spray, chief executive of the Wildfowl &Wetlands Trust (WWT), based in the UK, which ran the competition.
"These photos are all amazing examples of the diversity of wetlands across the globe and capture both their beauty and their vulnerability."
The stunning snaps include a wetland haven with birds and butterflies in the centre of Hong Kong by Bridget Page from London, and a lake in Bolivia coloured red-rich by mico-organisms living in its waters.

Mother polar bear (Ursus maritimus) with two coy (cubs-of-year) on multi-year ice floes in the Barents Sea off the eastern side of Heleysundet in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. An adult male weighs around 400?680 kg (880?1,500 lb) while an adult female is about half that size. The IUCN now lists global warming as the most significant threat to the polar bear, primarily because the melting of its sea ice habitat reduces its ability to find sufficient food. The IUCN states, If climatic trends continue polar bears may become extirpated from most of their range within 100 years. On May 14, 2008, the United States Department of the Interior listed the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.

Igloos outside the Arctic Hotel in Ilulissat on Greenland. Ilulissat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the Jacobshavn Glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq which is the largest glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces enough water from calving icebergs in one day to provide New York with water for 1 year. Climate change has meant the glacier has speeded up and is now one of the fastest glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day and is also receeding rapidly

kayaking with a leopard seal near Danco Island, Antarctica. The Leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx) is the second largest species of seal in the Antarctic (after the Southern Elephant Seal), and is near the top of the Antarctic food chain. It can live twenty-six years, possibly more. Orcas are the only natural predators of leopard seals. Females are generally larger than the males. The bulls are generally 2.5 m (8.2 ft) to 3.2 m (10.5 ft) and weigh between 200 kg (441 lb) and 453.5 kg (1,000 lb), while cows are between 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) and 3.4 meters (11.2 feet) in length and weigh between 225 kg (496 lb) and 591 kg (1,303 lb). In 2003, a leopard seal dragged a snorkeling biologist underwater to her death in what was identified as the first known human fatality from a leopard seal. However, numerous examples of aggressive behavior, stalking, and attacks on humans had been previously documented. The leopard seal has also been known to snap at people's feet through holes in the ice.

The maelstrom under Greenland's glaciers could slow future sea level rise
A pioneering mission into a mysterious and violent world may reveal 'speed bumps' on the way to global coastal inundation.
Stadium-sized blocks of ice crashing from the soaring face of the Kangerlussuup glacier in western Greenland. Fierce underwater currents of meltwater are shooting out from its base and visibility below the surface is virtually zero thanks to a torrent of suspended mud and sand. ItÕs little wonder scientists have never explored this maelstrom.
Yet today, they are sending in a multimillion-dollar remotely operated submarine, potentially to its death.

The icebergs originate at the glacier, Breidamerkurjokull, an outlet from Europe's largest ice cap Vatnajokull and therefore is the beach called Breidamerkursandur in Icelandic (sandur means sand). Actually, most Icelanders aren't familiar with the name the Diamond Beach as it is very recent and solely used in English.

Moon rises between two icebergs, Newfoundland, Canada - 10 Jun 2017
A photographer has captured an unusual image of a MOON rise between two ICEBERG pillars. Michael Winsor took the stunning shots off the coast of Newfoundland in Canada this week as the moon rose over the Atlantic Ocean. He wrote on his website: "Excitement was an understatement to finally get the shot that was in my mind for a long time. "For anyone that follows my work you know that I have a fascination with the moon. It's just something about it that is so awe-inspiring." He said he arrived at the location early to locate where the moon was supposed to rise. He added: "The moon was rising up and to the right very quickly so I had to keep picking up my gear and running to the left in order to get the moon in the middle of the two pillars of the iceberg. "Once the moon went behind the clouds the back lighting from the moon on the iceberg did not disappoint. It was truly a magnificent sight. "It was a beautiful night indeed and I was so humbled to witness such a beautiful scene."

International future architecture competition - 04 Mar 2016
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/s395
An architecture competition that hopes to build lives for humans in space and in the sea has been launched.
The International Future Architecture competition asks entrants to imagine a life where water and space would be populated.
Organisers The Jacques Rougerie Foundation say that the Earth's growing population and a potential sea level rise creates the need for new ideas about where humans can live.
Highlights of previous entries include Neck of the Moon, by El Hadi Jazairy, which sees space debris in the orbital environment compacting into a new 'second moon' called Laika.
Another lunar idea was Moon Origin Point by Miloje Krunic; an autonomous habitat for up to 20 million people designed to utilse the Moon's "abundant mineral resources".

Mother polar bear (Ursus maritimus) with two coy (cubs-of-year) on multi-year ice floes in the Barents Sea off the eastern side of Heleysundet in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. An adult male weighs around 400?680 kg (880?1,500 lb) while an adult female is about half that size. The IUCN now lists global warming as the most significant threat to the polar bear, primarily because the melting of its sea ice habitat reduces its ability to find sufficient food. The IUCN states, If climatic trends continue polar bears may become extirpated from most of their range within 100 years. On May 14, 2008, the United States Department of the Interior listed the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.
