natgeotravel Video by @renan_ozturk Light moving in real time with drone pilot @aaroncohan across the Northern Patagonia Ice Field, the second largest ice continuous mass outside of the polar regions. Seeing is believing and while we visited this place we witnessed about 4 gaint calving events of melting ice coming off the edge of the ice-fall. #climatechange #actonclimate#turningthetide Shot With @tompkins_conservation @chrisburkard @jamesqmartin. See @renan_ozturk for more images from this day and Chilean Patagonia.

A starving, emaciated polar bear rummages through trash in search of food, picking up a piece of foam from a snow mobile seat and attempting to eat it. Filmed by Paul Nicklen, nature photographer and National Geographic contributor for nearly two decades, on Baffin Island off the coast of Northern Canada.

“This is what starvation looks like. The muscles atrophy. No energy. It’s a slow, painful death. When scientists say polar bears will be extinct in the next 100 years, I think of the global population of 25,000 bears dying in this manner. There is no band aid solution. There was no saving this individual bear. People think that we can put platforms in the ocean or we can feed the odd starving bear. The simple truth is this—if the Earth continues to warm, we will lose bears and entire polar ecosystems. This large male bear was not old, and he certainly died within hours or days of this moment. But there are solutions. We must reduce our carbon footprint, eat the right food, stop cutting down our forests, and begin putting the Earth—our home—first.”

I haven't been to sapelo since hurricane Matthew passed though the area last year, found that a huge sandbar had formed offshore since then. Drones would be a great tool to assess changes in beach erosion. Shot with a @djiglobal Inspire 1 #drone #hurricanematthew #beacherosion #sapeloisland #djiinspire1 (at Sapelo Island, Georgia)
