Wild wolves can be found in all habitats except tropical forests and arid deserts! They have populations throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa, the largest concentrations being in Canada, Alaska, and Russia! Pictured: high-content wolfdog Artemis

World’s largest iceberg drifts beyond Antarctic waters, Video: 00:00:20 In November 2023, the A23a mega iceberg set sail after being grounded on the ocean floor for well over 40 years. Now, driven by winds and currents, A23a is heading away from Antarctic waters as seen in this new animation.The iceberg calved from West Antarctica in 1986 but quickly grounded itself in the Weddell Sea where it remained for over four decades. At around 4000 sq km in area, more than four times the size of New York City, and

RELEASED! The second volume of our popular Antarctica series covers the Australian Antarctic Casey on the opposite side of the continent, right on the mainland: A region of vast glaciers extending for thousands of miles into the continent. We have included a large area of coastal landscape with its typical penguin colonies, icebergs and – of course – a very detailed base with its helipad and a lot to discover. Take off from here using a helicopter, try to stay low above the detailed rugged terrain, maneuver your way through icebergs and find one of the two icebreakers operating here. If you’re more into fixed wing operations, no matter if low and slow or high and fast, you can choose between two skiways: The Casey Skiway on the glacier a few kilometers above the base for medium distance operations or the Wilkins Aerodrome about 70 kilometers to the south – well known for its A319-115LR passenger flights (yes, that’s an Airbus on ice!) or C-17 cargo flights between here and Australia.

"Did you know? Antarctica, not the Sahara, is the world's largest desert! Despite its icy facade, it's classified as a desert due to its minimal precipitation. Frozen moisture makes it the driest desert on Earth. 🏜️ #Antarctica #DesertFacts #IceDesert #TriviaTuesday #GeographyGeek #FunFacts #ExploreTheUnknown #ClimateFacts #FrozenWonders #NatureLovers #EarthFacts #DidYouKnow #DiscoverAntarctica #ExploreTheIce #WonderOfNature #ClimateTrivia #GeographyTrivia #WondersOfTheWorld #ExploreTheOutdoors #WikiwideFacts #ExploreTheWild #AntarcticExpedition #NaturePhotography #WorldWonders #FactsMatter #DesertLife"

There is no doubt that both Antarctica and the Arctic are unique in what they offer but why are some people putting the destination as a top priority before they get too old to travel. It is pretty obvious when you look at this photo, it takes a lot out of you in both energy and travel time so it is something you need to do while you can. The only thing that makes me a little nervous here is that they are all standing in the zodiac, maybe taking it in turns would be a safer option. Quark Expeditions are a part of my expedition month awareness, so if you are wondering why you are seeing such a lot of them on my page, that is because they have some great options to see either part of the world. #quarkexpeditionsarctic2025 #quarkexpeditions #northpole #southpole #arcticadventures #antarctica #whales #remote #AdventureTravel #expeditioncruise

New seamounts, sponges, crustaceans, coral and more were discovered on a recent @schmidtocean expedition. The expedition, named “Seamounts of the Southeast Pacific,” was carried out on the Schmidt Ocean Institute ship Falkor between January 8 and February 11. They traveled to the underwater mountains of the Nazca and Salas y Gómez mountain ranges, two chains of more than 200 underwater mountains that extend, together, across 2,900 kilometers from Chile to Easter Island, and the Juan Fernández and Nazca-Desventuradas marine parks. Researchers aboard the ship mapped 52,800 square kilometers and found four seamounts that had never been recorded. The largest of them rises up to 3,530 meters above the seabed. Thanks to the help of a robot that surveyed the slopes of these mountains, scientists found more than 100 species that so far seem to be completely new to science. Among them there are sponges, urchins, crustaceans, mollusks and corals. It is estimated that more than 80% of the ocean is still unexplored, so each discovery that scientists make in marine ecosystems represents an important achievement. #ExploreDontExploit #DefendTheDeep

"Daring scenes in the mountains! 🚁 Witness the jaw-dropping moment as a helicopter lands without a proper platform, with people daringly close. This is life in the mountains—where thrill meets adventure, and courage knows no bounds. Would you dare to embrace the daredevil spirit and conquer the heights? I am on a mission to climb 7 highest peaks in 7 continents. After climbing 5 of 7, my next expedition sets this year to Antarctica as my 6th climb of the mission. If you would like to be part such thrilling expedition, write me at: "Climb.asad@gmail.com" Lets do this. 💪 #MountainLife #AdventureAwaits #DareToExplore"

#DidYouKnow more people have been to space than the deepest parts of the ocean! The deepest area of the ocean is called the hadal zone, named after Hades, the Greek god of the underworld Conditions there are incredibly harsh, with crushing pressure and frigid temperatures. Exploring the hadal zone is much more difficult and expensive than space travel, which helps explain why it remains largely uncharted territory #facts #trivia #OceanFacts #DeepSeaExploration #OceanTrivia #MarineScience #DeepSeaFacts
