Photographer Roie Galitz is no stranger to capturing wildlife. But a polar bear ambling along a decomposing sperm whale above the Arctic Circle left him stunned. Sperm whales arenβt usually at a latitude so high, preferring temperate waters and staying away from ice. So when a friend spotted the carcass and messaged Galitz, the photographer redirected an expedition and took a full 24 hours to pilot an ice-breaker vessel through floes.
The resulting photos were so fantastical that some viewers on social media accused Galitz of creating or manipulating it with AI. But Galitz took thousands of photosβfrom all types of angles and in fog, daylight, and midnight sunβand video, too.

Actor Robert Redford followed in the footsteps of the Wild Westβs greatest outlaws for a National Geographic cover story in 1976. He ventured to saloons, old hideouts, and nearly abandoned towns to see what was left of the Outlaw Trailβthe route from Montana to Mexico that killers and thieves once used to flee. In this photo from the article, the late actor sits with the sister of Butch Cassidy, who was immortalized in the film starring Redford. |
