Looking out from Antarctica
Marty’s photo of the day #3129: I was standing on Antarctica when I took this photo, looking out at our tiny ship, the Professor Multanovskiy. Huge snowflakes filled the air—what a magical day!
Australian caves
Marty’s photo of the day #3128: When I was in Australia, one of my goals was to find a cave-dwelling Children’s python. I never found the snake, but exploring Australia’s caves was still a fun—and sometimes claustrophobic—experience.
A ball-sucking glacier!
Marty’s photo of the day #3127: In this photo, Deb is at the top (elevation 4,300 feet) of the Salmon Glacier in Alaska. It’s the fifth largest glacier in North America. The following excerpt from my first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, describes our adventure: Unlike other mountain roads I’ve driven, […]
More dangerous than the animals
Marty’s photo of the day #3126: A five-foot-long, mildly-venomous, lace monitor next to a river filled with large salt-water crocodiles. “Danger! Danger! Danger!” Photographed in Australia, where global warming is much more dangerous than the animals.

And unlike the Trump bothers, who kill amazing animals in Africa, I let this python go shortly after this photo was taken. With any luck, the python will live for another twenty or […]
A pile of elephant seals
Marty’s photo of the day #3124: As a photographer, this is as close as I can come to showing you what it is like to be in a pile of female elephant seals. (Photographed just off the coast of Antarctica)
Trumpeter swans
California quail
Trump Mountain
Marty’s photo of the day #3121: Everyone knows that Donald Trump loves having things named after him. Therefore, I propose that Mexico name this geological feature after him. The rocks you see are white, because they are covered with bird guano. What could be more fitting than naming a mountain of shit after the shittiest […]
A turkey for the White House
Marty’s photo of the day #3120: If we have to have a turkey in the White House, how about this one? At least he has all his feathers and would never be a traitor to his flock and take orders from a Caucasian snowcock. (Photographed in Montana)
