daniel stoupin, a doctoral candidate in marine biology at the university of queensland, has photographed a variety of coral species using full spectrum light to reveal fluorescent pigments that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. each piece (click pic for name) is from the great barrier reef. given the complexity of the techniques used, which involve time-lapse and stereoscopic and focus stacked photography, the images take up to ten hours to produce in the lab.

Thresher sharks always have this worried look on their face. It’s like they just realized they were late for something important. :3

george karbus used the light from the aurora borealis to photograph his girlfriend, kate hamsiaora, and, by chance, a passing belgua whale beneath the arctic ice of russia’s white sea. walking thirty meters out on to the ice, they drilled a hole thirty centimeters deep and descended into the minus two degree celsius water.

I swam with 300 dolphins in Kaikoura. One of the best/coldest/incredible things I’ve done.
