Photograph by Brian Skerry , National Geographic An oceanic whitetip shark and diver in the Bahamas . (From the National Geographic book Ocean Soul by Brian Skerry) African buffalo create tracks in the salty mud at the edge of a crater lake in Queen Elizabeth National Park. The “blue pond” of the famous tourist resort in Biei, Hokkaido, Japan is a place where many tourists gather in spring, summer, and autumn. However, since this pond freezes in winter, nobody is there during that period. This photograph was taken during the first snow of the season as it fell over the blue pond.
