This waterfall image in black and white may appear lovely, but it's truly an unusual sight. This image was taken in Svalbard, Norway, and according to Paul Nicklen, it depicts the "collapse of [the] global climate" in a way that has a "ironic beauty."

Meltwater is gushing from an opening in an Arctic glacier, creating the cascade. According to nature photographer Nicklen, the "single greatest threat" that humanity "ha[s] ever encountered" is global warming, and this artificial waterfall symbolizes society's "failure to act" in response to it. This cold-weather photo could have been taken with the Sony RX0. For $700, you can purchase it at Sony.
2. I'm a Walrus

The walrus is an amazing creature. The walrus, a flippered sea mammal belonging to the class Mammalia, is easily identified by its enormous tusks. It inhabits both the Arctic Ocean in the Northern Hemisphere and the North Pole. This image of a walrus was captured by Paul Nicklen in Svalbard, Norway.

Walruses are not carnivorous and will only attack in self-defense, however they have been known to topple boats out of curiosity. These are the most socially adept and cognitively aware pinnipeds out there. They are intelligent animals. Similar to the image of the artificial waterfall, the Sony RX0 would be ideal for taking pictures in this frigid weather.
