A free diver exercises dynamic apnoea below an iced platform, in the chilly salt water of the White Sea, at minus 2 degrees Celsius. Must be extremely prepared, brave and self-controlled to free-dive, holding the breath, in ambient without a fast and clear access to the surface. Reaching the underwater world, is an adventure itself since a thick layer of ice bars the passages every night, due to very low temperatures, and every day one must cut ice holes (called mainas by locals) into the ice platform. Salted water needs very low temperature to freeze. Below the ice platform, the upper layer is a melt of fresh and salt water, allowing a surprising amount of life to thrive. Location: White Sea, northern Russia.

The spider-tailed horned viper (Pseudocerastes urarachnoides) is a species of viper endemic to western Iran which was described in 2006. The head looks very similar to that of other Pseudocerastes species in the region, but the spider-tailed horned viper has a unique tail that has a bulb-like end that is bordered by long drooping scales that give it the appearance of a spider. The tail tip is waved around and used to lure insectivorous birds to within striking range.

Cynomorium scarlet, (Cynomorium coccineum ) in the Tabernas desert (Andalusia - Spain). Parasitic species of tamarix, salsola and limonium, appearing only at flowering as a dense spike inflorescence. An ancient Miocene sedimentary basin (- 8Ma) at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. The arid climate of the Tabernas makes it Europe's only desert, expanding as a result of the increasing drought in southern Spain. In the foreground, lichens of the Diploschistes genus cover the clay soil.

Rustyback Fern (Asplenium ceterach) on a stone wall in Spain. An evergreen fern with lobed leaves that form dense rosettes. The underside of the leaves is covered with scales. Adapted to drought (leaves curl up) thanks to an aptitude for anhydrobiosis and revivification, it is a common plant of rock crevices (chasmophyte plant) and old limestone walls (lithophyte plant).
