While most reptiles avoid the cold ocean, the Galápagos marine iguana actively dives into it. Evolving in absolute isolation, these creatures developed the unique ability to forage underwater, holding their breath for up to 45 minutes. Photo by Kim Nesbitt.

The dolerite towers of Alkefjellet rise hundreds of meters straight out of the frigid waters of the Svalbard archipelago. Right now, these ancient basalt pillars have transformed into one of the most intense, chaotic, and vital breeding grounds on Earth for Brünnich’s guillemots.
