FEATURE - Sieger des Wettbewerbs "Bestes Bild unseres Planeten"
STORY COPY: What’s the best picture of Earth ever?
That’s the question NASA’s Earth Observatory is asking in a visually arresting contest they have called Tournament Earth 2020.
Since 1999, Earth Observatory has published over 16,000 images, so to celebrate their 20th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, they want the public to pick their all-time best image.
Readers will narrow the field from 32 nominees down to one champion in a five-round knockout-style tournament. Pictures have been chosen under the categories: Past Winners, Home Planet, Land & Ice, and Sea & Sky. These will go head-to-head each week from March 23 to April 28, 2020, when a tournament winner will be announced.
NASA Earth Observatory is an online publishing outlet for NASA which was created in 1999. It is the principal source of satellite imagery and other scientific information pertaining to the climate and the environment which are being provided by NASA for consumption by the general public.
The “southern lights” were bright enough to illuminate the ice below.
On July 15, 2012, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite captured this nighttime view of the aurora australis, or “southern lights,” over Antarctica’s Queen Maud Land and the Princess Ragnhild Coast.
The image was captured by the VIIRS “day-night band,” which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe signals such as city lights, auroras, wildfires, and reflected moonlight. In the case of the image above, the sensor detected the visible auroral light emissions as energetic particles rained down from Earth’s magnetosphere and into the gases of the upper atmosphere. The slightly jagged appearance of the auroral lines is a function of the rapid dance of the energetic particles at the same time that the satellite is moving and the VIIRS sensor is scanning.
Where: Antarctica
When: 15 Jul 20

Juvenile Gentoo penguin demands food, Antarctic Peninsula - 2011

Juvenile Gentoo penguin demands food by flapping arms
Don't Get In A Flap: Baby Penguin Demands Food
A penguin got in a real flap when it demanded food from its mother.
Or maybe it had forgot it was a penguin and was trying to fly?
The Gentoo juvenile frantically waved its wings and cried out when hunger struck.
At one point it looked as if it was flexing its tiny arms in a fit of anger.
Photographer and Exodus travel tour guide Paul Goldstein captured the peckish penguin on the Antarctic peninsula.
He explains: "The youngster may have looked like it was showing off but in fact it is actually asking its mother to feed it.
"The mother will regurgitate food for its offspring and the small one must have wanted to not-so-subtly let her know it was hungry."
The adult penguin will catch fish, krill or squid and digest it or hold it in for a while. When it is ready, it will regurgitate the food into its beak, before placing the food into the baby penguin's mouth.
Gentoos breed on many sub-Antarctic islands, including the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and, like these examples, the Antarctic Peninsula. The total breeding population is estimated to be over 300,000 pairs.

Mother and chick penguin huddle together, Snow Hill Island, Antarctic Peninsula - Mar 2012

Adult Emperor penguin watching its chick walk on the sea-ice near Snow Hill Island, Antarctica
Photographer Captures Touching Scenes Of Family Life For A Penguin Chick
American photographer David Schultz captured intimate family moments of an adult and baby penguin while on a trip to the Antarctic.
The images include the chick peeking out from under the adult's brood pouch, being encouraged to walk on the ice and looking up to it's parent in admiration.
The Emperor penguins belong to a colony near Snow Hill Island along the Antarctic Peninsula.
Mr Schultz joined an expedition on board a Russian icebreaker to reach the hardy birds. The team travelled by boat and helicopter followed by a two-mile hike across the sea ice.
He said: "When I visited the chicks they were about three months old and were being looked after by either the male or female adult, sometimes both."
The female penguin lays a single egg and hands it over to the male. He cradles the egg on his feet until it hatches about nine weeks later. Meanwhile the female makes the long trek back to the open sea to feed so she can bring back the chick's first meal.
Mr Schultz said: "Telling the sex of an adult emperor penguin during this time of a chick's life is impossible as there is no obvious difference seen in the photos between the two.
"Typically the male will weigh more but that can greatly depend on the time of year. When these were shot male and female would generally be the same weight. The height and markings are the same."
Mr Schultz runs a gallery in the desert plains of Utah.

Marine Life in South Georgia - May 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Geoffrey Robinson / Rex Features ( 1331332f )
The Antarctic nemertean Parbolasia (sea worms)., These weird and wonderful sea creatures are among thousands of rare species living around South Georgia, which has been revealed as the richest area for marine life in the Southern Ocean, according to a new study.
The first in-depth study of sea creatures around the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia shows the region is richer in biodiversity than even more tropical sites, such as the Galapagos Islands.
Icefish, stone crabs, giant Antarctic sea spiders, which grow up to 30cm from tip to tip, sea urchins and free-swimming worms, are just some of the species recorded in the study by scientists at the British Antarctic Survey.
Specimens were collected from scientific cruises and by scuba divers from the seas around South Georgia, famous for great polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition.

"South Georgia has been looked at for more than 100 years but the data has never all been pulled together," said study author ...

Reflected sunlight on king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) breeding and nesting colonies on South Georgia Island, Southern Ocean. King penguins are rarely found below 60 degrees south, and almost never on the Antarctic Peninsula. The King Penguin is the second largest species of penguin at about 90 cm (3 ft) tall and weighing 11 to 16 kg (24 to 35 lb), second only to the Emperor Penguin. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid and rely less than most Southern Ocean predators on krill and other crustaceans. On foraging trips they repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (350 feet), often over 200 meters (700 feet). This is far deeper than other penguins, other than their closest relative, the larger Emperor penguin. King Penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of Antarctica, as well as Tierra del Fuego, South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. The total population is estimated to be 2.23 million pairs and is increasing. The King Penguin was described in 1778 by English naturalist and illustrator John Frederick Miller, its generic name derived from the Ancient Greek a 'without' pteno- 'able to fly' or 'winged' and dytes/ 'diver'.Its specific epithet patagonicus derived from Patagonia.

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.

WEIRD AND WONDERFUL LIFE BENEATH ANTARCTIC'S WAVES
Newly released pictures reveal the weird and wonderful array of Antarctic marine creatures in one of the fastest warming seas in the world.
Amazing images of ice fish, octopus, sea pigs, giant sea spiders, rare rays and beautiful basket stars have been captured by Peter Bucktrout, from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
The bizarre collection of marine life was discovered in the Bellingshausen Sea in West Antarctica and will be studied to see the effects of environmental change.
The astonishingly rich and unusual variety of life was photographed from on and above the deep continental shelf.
"Few people realise just how rich in biodiversity the Southern Ocean is - even a single trawl can reveal a fascinating array of weird and wonderful creatures as would be seen on a coral reef," said research cruise leader Dr David Barnes, from BAS.
"These animals are potentially very good indicators of environmental change as many occur in the shallows, which are changing fast, but also in deeper water which will warm much less quickly.
"We can now begin to get a better understanding of how the ecosystem will adapt to change.
"Our research on species living in the waters surrounding the BAS Rothera Research Station on the Antarctic Peninsula shows that some species are incredibly sensitive to temperature changes.
"Our new studies on the diverse range of marine creatures living in the deep waters of the Bellingshausen Sea will help us build a more complete picture of Antarctica's marine biodiversity and give us an important baseline against which we can compare future impact on marine life."
