    Shrimp Po Boy: a traditional submarine sandwich from Louisiana. It almost always consists of meat, usually roast beef, or fried seafood, or sometimes chicken or ham. The meat is served on baguette-like New Orleans French bread, known for its crisp crust and fluffy center.

    A man loves his lunch so much he scans every sandwich he eats.

    Jon Chonko's Scanwiches ongoing photo project sees him placing his lunchtime snacks directly onto a scanner.

    By cutting the sandwich in half, the picturial results are mouth-watering glimpses of his deli delights.

    The Brooklyn-based designer says his project is "for education and delight".

    Jon says he has scanned more than 200 sandwiches, published a book and shown his work at several New York galleries.

    Some of his latest range from a selection of tea sandwiches with the crusts cut off, to a simple Bologna.

    There is also tasty-looking a Maine Lobster Roll, various burgers and a Uruguayan Chivito.

    Move over Grumpy Cat, there's a new sourpuss in town.

    But Sauerkraut the cat can't help looking like she is disapproving of your very existence - she was born that way.

    Rescued from an animal shelter and adopted by Amy and Patrick Bender, two-year-old Sauerkraut may look disgruntled, but she is in very loving hands.

    Amy, from Oklahoma, explains: "When Sauerkraut came to us as a foster, it was clear early on that she had some neurological problems.

    "But she now weighs about 5.5 pounds and is fully grown. Many people are surprised at her tiny size. She is full grown and has enough attitude for three normal sized cats.

    "Sauerkraut does not mind travelling in cars and loves looking out the window and watching the traffic roll by. She is harness trained and also enjoys riding in her stroller."

    Paul Goldstein's Spectacular Spitsbergen
    For wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein, a visit to Spitsbergen in Norway is a picture perfect paradise.

    And these images taken last month show the otherworldly region in all its glory.

    They include pictures of wildlife including polar bears, arctic foxes, walruses, and guillemots flying over the sea.

    There are also jaw-dropping captures of sun corona, an optical phenomenon produced by ice crystals creating coloured or white arcs and spots in the sky.

    Each year Wimbledon-based Exodus guide Paul leads small pilgrimages to the region on a Russian ice-strengthened ship. Spitsbergen is the largest and only permanently populated island of the Svalbard archipelago.

    Speaking of the coronas, he explains: "At almost 80 degrees North in Spitsbergen the sun's corona was marvellously visible to a small band of Arctic holidaymakers as they enjoyed this icy Eden. Coronas appear during eclipses and sometimes with exactly the right amount of light cloud in front of the sun.

    "Photographically they are remarkable, turning an already beautiful seascape into maritime nirvana."

    Explaining the search for polar bears, Paul says: "Searching for a distant ivory blob on a white canvas is never easy and many years ago I realised that the only way to get this reward was to dedicate a lot of time to it. Fortunately in the land of 24 hour daylight, this is made easier.

    "We have no itinerary but if we do find a bear, with our incredibly quiet engines and robust hull we can get reasonably close without affecting them, we are never in a hurry to leave.

    "Spitsbergen is magical but it is changing a little. I have seen glaciers shrink as much as a kilometre in the last ten years and also realised the effect on bear...

    Finding gold is not easy. The women load sacks onto their backs, which can contain up to 20 kilograms of rock. More often that not, the rocks don't contain "sparks" of gold. Sometimes covering their hands with rudimentary gloves, the women pick the remains of the stone in search of those that hold the precious gold

    Peru now exports more illegally-produced gold than it does cocaine and Peru is one of the world's largest gold exporters.

    Though there are many who profit from this gold rush, there is a population of women that are slaves to the process, known as the Daughters of Awichita.

    Peruvian photographer Omar Lucas has captured a series of thought-provoking images of the women working in the gold mines.

    The photos were taken in La Rinconada, a place that is five hours away from Lake Titicaca, where there is a population of about 70,000 people who live on the gold they extract from the edges of a snowy mountain.

    Book Explores The World of Charles Dickens
    With the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth commemorated on 7th February, a new book delves deep into the characters and locations featured in his classic works.

    The World of Charles Dickens by Stephen Browning sees the author embark on a fascinating literary adventure throughout Britain.

    His journey is illuminated by over 200 photographs taken especially for the book of locations in London, Kent, Yorkshire, the Midlands, the South of England, the West Country and East Anglia.

    They include well-known locations including what is thought to be the Old Curiosity Shop in London, Dickens beloved sea-facing Bleak House in Broadstairs and the writer's London home in Holborn.

    There are also trips to Rochester, the setting for Great Expectations and The Pickwick Papers, and The Lizard in Cornwall where Dickens would enjoy inspiring walks.

    The pictures were shot over the course of a year and represent a reflection of Stephen Browning's lifelong admiration for Dickens.

    Dickens is perhaps best known for bringing to life areas of London and parts of the capital are still evocative of his characters and storylines.

    Stephen explains: "It is hard to choose a favourite location but maybe the Strand, where he walked both as a boy and as a man up to his offices in Wellington Street. I always see him here striding purposely in his flamboyant waistcoats.

    "He was very famous and people would often double back to get another look at him. Or around the Bank of England where Scrooge would prowl. Smithfield too is one of his favourite loc...

    Pigs Brain - eaten pan fried or sometimes as an ingredient such as in the Phillipines where 'tortang utak' is a pigs brain omelette
    Yuck! The Things People Eat
    One man has made it his mission to taste disgusting delicacies around the world.

    Neil Setchfield's 'Yuck! The Things People Eat' project has seen him try unusual foods ranging from fried songbird in Cambodia to pigs brain in the Philippines.

    The artfully photographed results of his brave culinary journey have been collected in a book of the same name.

    Neil explains: "A couple of years ago I was walking through a market in Cambodia when I came across a stall selling stir fried tarantulas. I took some photographs but they didn't really convey the reality of what was a huge bucket piled high with a crispy gelatinous mass of cooked black spiders. So I bought some, as you do, not really sure whether to eat or to photograph. In the end I did both - the spiders tasted mainly of the spicy sauce they were cooked in - but when I looked at them in all their gory detail through the camera with a macro lens I just knew I had a interesting project.

    "The reaction to the photographs was just as inspiring. Whilst everyone back in London went "YUCK!", when I showed them the pictures, in Cambodia the natural response was "YUM!". Whilst one nation was appalled the other was just peckish. And this became the entire premise of the project, how differing cultures react to different types of food.

    "But the spiders were just the beginning and now three years later I've eaten and photographed everything from wild grey squirrel in the north of England to roast guinea pig in Peru, from sheep's penis and black scorpion kebabs in China to kangaroos tail in Australia. And that's just a fraction of the whole.

    The rocks move and leave tell-tale trails in the clay. The trails can be straight, or they can curve. Sometimes, two trails run alongside each other.
    The Mystery of the Moving Rocks
    It's a puzzling sight that the world of science has never found a conclusive answer for - rocks that seemingly move across the plains of California.

    Since the 1940s researchers have documented trails left from the movement of boulders on so-called playas, or dry lakes, in Death Valley.

    Amazingly, rocks as big as 700 pounds have been subject to the unexplained phenomena that sees them seemingly glide over the parched landscape - even changing direction on their path.

    Some rocks travel in pairs, leaving two tracks perfectly in synch along straight stretches and around curves. Others seem undecided about direction and travel back and forth. sometimes travelling the length of several football fields.

    Most cases see the trails leading to resting rocks, but in others they have disappeared.

    Now a team of seventeen undergraduate and graduate students from the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Academy (LPSA) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have begun an investigation.

    They travelled to the Racetrack and nearby Bonnie Claire playas this summer to investigate how these rocks move across the nearly empty flats.

    "When you see these amazing rocks and trails," says Mindy Krzykowski, an intern from the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, "you really get into coming up with your own ideas about what's going on."

    For each rock and trail the students recorded GPS coordinates and took photographs. They also dug up small sensors called Hygrochrons buried three months earlier by one of the trip leaders. From these, the interns were able to capture the electronically stored temperature and humidity data.

    They marked the trail ...
