  • Photo by @simonnorfolkstudio I An outtake from the story I’ve been doing about new archaeology in Jerusalem for the December issue of @natgeo. Remnants of concrete trenches can still be found in the undergrowth on Mount Zion, just outside the city walls of Jerusalem. Between 1948 and 1967, when the Old City was under Jordanian rule, most of Mount Zion was a designated no-man's land between Israel and Jordan, and these trenches allowed Israeli soldiers to resupply their front line at the top of the hill.

  • Photos by @michaelchristopherbrown | Palestinian children in Balata Refugee Camp, the largest refugee camp in the West Bank. Balata has a population of 30,000 residents in a .25-square-kilometer area, the majority of whom are under age 25. In 1950 the UN gave these refugees, originally from Jaffa, shelter in this tiny area near Nablus, which is now densely populated. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, which last year was subject to hundreds of millions of dollars in budget cuts by the Trump administration, funds a school in the Balata camp with approximately 5,000 pupils. Other programs include the Yaffa Cultural Center, which operates a guesthouse, children’s theater and cinema, children’s library and media center, but with the budget cuts, it's seeking donors to fund the center. From 1980s through the early 2000s, Balata residents played a leading role in the first and second intifadas.

  • Photo by @ronan_donovan | A six-week-old wild arctic wolf pup peeks at a motion-triggered camera from behind her father’s leg, on the remote Canadian island known in the Inuktitut language as Umingmak Nuna, meaning "land of musk oxen.” In just a few weeks, this young pup will outgrow den life and start to follow the adults into the unknown. She will begin to learn about her vast home range and the sights and smells that will become her life for years to come. She will learn from her parents how to survive in this harsh environment, and eventually how to hunt the mighty musk oxen. To see more images of arctic wolves visit @ronan_donovan
  • Photo by Anastasia Taylor-Lind @anastasiatl | Anna Dedova, 75, is at the grave of her son, who accidentally killed himself last year when he opened a hand grenade found near his home in the village of Opytne. This visit is a rare chance for her: The graveyard is mined, and civilians are not allowed to enter. Opytne is situated close to the front line in what's called the "grey zone." During the active phase of the war, locals often had to bury their family members who died, or were killed by shelling, in their backyards. Later, they began cooperating with soldiers. A coffin would be placed in a military truck, and relatives were left to hope that they could find the grave later. This summer, for the first time in five years, local activists managed to organize a visit to the Opytne cemetery for those whose relatives are buried here. They secured a relatively safe path to the graves, but cemetery has become so overgrown that people struggled to find the crosses and gravestones marking their loved ones. They hurried to cut the grass and re-establish basic order—who knows when they will next have the chance to come back. Words by Alisa Sopova @sopova.alisa. #5Kfromthefrontline is an ongoing project about the everyday consequences of the war in eastern Ukraine.
  • Photo by Keith Ladzinski @ladzinski | With a long exposure, a quiver tree (kokerboom) stands tall under a sky of streaked stars. These trees are well suited to arid places with severe heat and low precipitation, due to an ability to store water within their trunks. They’re part of the aloe family, and have long been used for medicinal purposes. Photographed in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa.

  • Photo by Cristina Mittermeier @Mitty | Did you know that in Hawaiian culture when a baby is born the umbilical cord is buried in the sand along with a tree seedling? This practice serves as a reminder of the connection that new person has not only to his or her parents but also to their ancestors and to the land. When a Hawaiian dies, the entire community, their ohana, paddles out and returns their ashes to the sea. This cultural connection to land and sea runs deep in the veins of native Hawaiians. The concept of Aloha ʻĀina, “love of the land,” is central in Hawaiian life and key to understanding their stewardship of the Earth. If you look at a mountain and all you see is a pile of rocks, you may have a hard time understanding why anyone would fight to protect it. For the Kānaki Ōiwi people, Mauna Kea is not just a mountain: it represents their ancestral ties to creation, a sacred site revered through their history and very much worthy of respect and protection. Follow me @Mitty for more stories that reflect upon the ways world cultures and nature are tied to one another. #kukiaimauna #wearemaunakea #culture #blackandwhitephotography
