Viewers’ Choice for People: Expedition Amundsen - A race that follows in the path of the famous explorer Roald Amundsen brings the contestants to the Hardangervidda Mountainplateu, Norway. 100km across the plateau, the exact same route Amundsen used to prepare for his South Pole expedition in 1911 is still used by explorers today. Amundsen did not manage to cross the plateau and had to turn back because of bad weather. He allegedly said that the attempt to cross Hardangervidda was just as dangerous and hard as the conquering of the South Pole. The group in the picture used the race as preparations for an attempt to cross Greenland.(© Kai-Otto Melau/National Geographic Photo Contest)
My charming horse Cosmo, my friend, and me having fun in the snow.
Cody Mooney, visiting from Loveland, Colorado, tosses his 17-month-old daughter Willow in the air as snow geese take flight behind, Thursday, December 27, 2012, in the Skagit Valley near La Conner, Washington. Bird watchers took advantage of a day without rain Thursday to gaze at some of the tens of thousands of snow geese that spend the winter near the mouth of the Skagit River there. The geese migrate from their mating grounds in Alaska and Siberia in late November to spend the winter in wetlands and farm fields of the Skagit Valley and other areas of northwest Washington.
