Capturing the world through the lens, from stunning landscapes to powerful photojournalism

People play basketball as wildfire smoke from Canada causes hazy conditions on July 16, 2026 in New York. Out-of-control wildfires were raging Thursday in the Canadian province of Ontario, prompting evacuations and sending dangerous smoke billowing into the United States where millions of people were exposed to the unhealthy air. US states near the Canadian border including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois were particularly choked, as forecasters predicted the Northeast including New York would also see air quality continue to deteriorate.

EVERY CRIME LEAVES A TRACE Can CSI tactics stop a $23 billion poaching industry? On the hunt for smugglers with wildlife forensics — the work that aims to disrupt or even dismantle illegally run wildlife trade chains. On the first glance this may appear to be a underwater photograph of a floating green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas). But can you spot the human hand print? The image demonstrates a method for securing forensic evidence that can help to catch poachers and animal traffickers. Special fluorescent powder dyes, photographed under ultraviolet light, reveal hand and fingerprints, blood and other bodily fluids, gunpowder residue, and more. Wildlife forensic expert Dr. Alexandra Thomas from Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and Louise Gibson from the Wildlife Crime and Forensics Unit of the Zoological Society of London are developing such methods to assist law enforcement. Six of the world's seven sea turtle species are classified as threatened, endangered, or critically endangered due to human persecution, habitat destruction, or marine pollution.

BANDAR ABBAS, IRAN - MAY 15: Boats are seen off the coast in the Persian Gulf on May 15, 2026 in Bandar Abbas, Iran. Since the outbreak of the US-Israeli war against Iran, forcing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, global shipping routes have been severely impacted with little progress being made in the negotiations between Iran and the United States. Soaring shipping costs, lengthening delivery times and less efficient routes have seen increased pressure on energy markets and supply chains worldwide. (Photo by Majid Saeedi / Getty Images)
