  • Photo by @noralorek | Peter Mandela, a 12-year-old refugee from South Sudan living in Uganda, holds his handmade cardboard truck. In Bidibidi, a remote refugee settlement in Uganda, South Sudanese kids create their own entertainment from mud, paper, and plastic. Here cardboard boxes from shipments of humanitarian supplies get a second chance as toy cars, trucks, and buses. These kids would have been the first generation to grow up in an independent South Sudan, if war hadn’t so quickly dispelled them. Today more than one million children have fled the country, building new lives in refugee camps scattered in Uganda and other neighbors of South Sudan. Even in the most remote places, kids learn how to entertain themselves. With more than 270,000 people, Bidibidi is considered one of the world's largest refugee settlements.

  • Photo by @lucalocatelliphoto | Battersea Power Station in London has been for decades the symbol of disruptive architecture and harmful coal energy production. Today it is the centerpiece of a mile-long redevelopment along the Thames and will soon be home to offices and residences. Critics say the project is too focused on luxury in a city short on affordable housing, yet it caught my eye for its innovative architectural solutions. Please follow me @lucalocatelliphoto to find out more about the London story I covered for @natgeo #London #architecture #battersea #britain #people #city
  • Photo by @kengeiger | Lip-smacking good! That's all I could think when I saw this expression on the leopard's face. In all honestly, he was simply laying in the shade, grooming, and waiting for his next meal to wander a bit too close. The Maasai Mara National Reserve is a great place to see all the big cats, including cheetahs and lions. For more images of the #maasaimara and #kenya follow @kengeiger
  • Photo by @TimLaman | A small iceberg photographed in an over-and-under view, in Gerlache Strait, Antarctica. One of the highlights of visiting Antarctica is getting to see all the incredible variety of forms that ice takes. This is a small iceberg with multiple mushroom-like projections above water and a base below. In this view, you can really grasp that a much larger proportion of the iceberg’s mass is below the waterline. Photographed on expedition with @NatGeoExpeditions.

  • Photo by @simonnorfolkstudio | A grass-roofed church at Hof, sits below the Vatnajökull glacier, Iceland. Very few of these churches remain today. The practice of turfing over the roofs of buildings was developed in Northern Europe as early as the Iron Age. Settlers constructed shelters from trees for the frame, stone slabs for the roof and then covered the structure with turf for insulation and protection from the harsh elements. Hofskirkja (Hof church) was built in 1884 and dedicated to saint Clement. Follow me @simonnorfolkstudiofor updates, outtakes, unpublished, and archive material on this and future projects. #Iceland #Hof #architecture #Christian #photojournalism
  • Photo by @ladzinski | From a distance it looked like a mirage, blurred and wobbling from the heat reflecting off the salty desert. As we drew in closer, however, it was an even stranger sight: a giant cinder cone isolated in the Salar De Arizaro salt flat, towering at roughly 400 feet tall. I later learned that this is actually a minor volcano, one that never had the power to erupt, and a mountain considered sacred by the local #Aymara people. As a spectator, it’s a surreal geological feature to see from the ground; the sheer scale, shape, and oddity is made clear from an aerial perspective. #SalarDeArizaro
  • Photo by @CristinaMittermeier | The headdresses of tribeswomen in Papua New Guinea are prized possessions, crafted from feathers of various birds of paradise. What I love about this photo is how the decorative colors highlight her eyes. I’ve always had a fascination with people’s eyes when I’m photographing them. I find that they visually reveal the most about a person and remind me of our common humanity. #FollowMe at @CristinaMittermeier for more portraits from the ends of the Earth. #PapuaNewGuinea #colourful #headdress #portrait #photography
  • Photo by Matthieu Paley @paleyphoto | Portrait of a gentle saluki dog, in the Rub al Khali desert (also known as the Empty Quarter). Historically, salukis were used for hunting by nomadic tribes; in 1996 the Guinness Book of Records listed a saluki as the fastest dog, capable of reaching a speed of 68.8 km/h (42.8 mph). This one sat quietly for a bit, enjoying the sunset glow. On assignment for @natgeo.
