Going underground, expedition members enter Hang En, a cave tunneled out by the Rao Thuong River. Dwindling to a series of ponds during the dry months, the river can rise almost 300 feet (91 meters) during the flood season, covering the rocks where cavers stand.

Tundra Trek, Svalbard

Brilliant day for a hike on the Arctic tundra, surprisingly alive with flora, as well as reindeer and arctic fox. It seems the mountains make their own weather on Svalbard, or at least cloud formations - this one no exception.

Stratus Clouds, Greenland

Eight hundred miles south of the North Pole, stalactite-like stratus clouds - churned by 90-mile-an-hour winds - and the light of a bruised dawn paint an apocalyptic portrait over Inglefield Bay.

thecravinglife:

Some fishing stories are a little hard to believe, But this guy has pictures to prove his story…

Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.
“Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed.

I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat. In all my years fishing, I’ve never seen anything quite like it!

“Once on-board, they collapsed with exhaustion, shivering. We headed for Taku Harbour. Once we reached the dock, the first
buck that we had been pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say ‘thank you’ and disappeared into the forest.”

After a bit of prodding and assistance, two more followed, but the smallest deer needed a little more help (that’s him in the wheelbarrow).

My daughter, Anna, and son, Tim, helped the last buck to its feet. We didn’t know how long they had been in the icy waters or if there had been others who did not survive. My daughter later told me that the experience was something that she would never forget, and I suspect the deer felt the same way as well!”

HOME MADE HAMBURGER by Gnam Box

250 gr ground beef (the best you can find)

15 gr potato flakes

Pour few water into the potato flakes and add the compound to the ground beef and mix them very well. That’s the secret for an always tender hamburger.

Make the hamburgers using molds.

Put 3 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat and add the hamburgers.

When the hamburgers are half cooked turn over them until the other side is cooked too. Salt both the sides.

AND NOW IT’S TIME TO CREATE!

For a basic version we suggest

hamburger breads

lattuce

cheese slices

mustard

tomato

onion

GNAM IT!

Here it is, in all its pretentiousness - the dang Charlotte Royale. I completely scratched off the idea of making banana bavarian cream because, in all honesty, I just couldn’t be bothered to do it. Right now I’m somewhat glad I didn’t submit this as an entry for the food challenge. There was…
