I smiled at him and gestured at the camera, asking for his permission, and he nodded.

This unusual ice formation in the shape of a Jeep's grill was spotted in the parking lot of the Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, N.C. on Feb 17. An eyewitness believes the vehicle's owner warmed up the engine, and the imprint remained after the driver backed out of the parking space. The ice was attached to the curb.

When Penguins Attack

When Penguins Attack


“This is what happens when you leave a GoPro out on the sea ice,” writes National Geographic Your Shot member Gordon Tait, who captured a series of time-lapses with the HD camera system while running an ocean acidification experiment near Casey Station, Antarctica. “We often get groups of Adélie penguins coming to see what we’re doing, and this one was trying to peck the camera.”

Żurek - A Polish Easter tradition

Żurek - A Polish Easter tradition


In its way, żurek (pronounced “zhurek”) is the most humble of all Polish soups, and at the same time the most exotic, at least to the foreign palate. It has traditionally been eaten at Easter, but now is found on menus all year-round.

Corazón del Fuego

Corazón del Fuego


Wanting to get a closer look at Fuego, a highly active volcano in Guatemala, Andrew Shepard hiked the adjacent Acatenango Volcano and camped near the summit. "Under the moonlight I set my tripod up just outside the tent, and at around 1:30 a.m. we awoke to the rumbling of the ground and the sound of a breath-stealing explosion," Shepard writes. "I scrambled to the camera just in time [to] capture a moonlit and lava-covered Fuego as it put on this beautiful display of activity and power."
