<strong>Qikiqtaruk-Herschel Island, Canada:</strong> A human silhouette is dwarfed by the size of a retrogressive thaw slump on Qikiqtaruk-Herschel Island in Canada. The shifts resulting from these slumps can echo through the whole ecosystem. This photo was taken on an expedition supported by the National Geographic Society.

<strong>Madagascar:</strong> The Malagasy tree boa (Sanzinia madagascariensis) is a non-venomous snake species endemic to Madagascar. Big individuals have become difficult to find in some areas surrounding human settlements. Fires produced by humans and poaching are only some of the threats these snakes must face.
