Appalachia

In Appalachia, a race to preserve the practice of plant healing

Even as ginseng, St. John’s wort, and other herbs grow in popularity, the region is struggling to keep its age-old practice of herbalism alive for a new generation.

Above photo :
Astronaut Bruce McCandless hangs high above Earth during the first ever untethered spacewalk in February 1984.

"In a still-startling NASA image from that mission, untethered McCandless hangs 320 feet from Challenger, suspended above our impossibly blue planet and appearing paradoxically powerful and fragile against the yawning vastness of the cosmos."

Norilsk

The city of Norilsk is one of the Northernmost inhabited cities in the world. However, it is anything but a winter wonderland - it's Russia's most polluted city. It's an isolated place, restricted from tourists, and built on the ruins of a forced labor camp.

For almost three months of the year, there is no daylight at all while in June and July, there is no night.

But the secret to the city's existence, despite its harsh climate, is the wealth of metals buried beneath the snow.

The metal reserves in Norilsk's mines are the largest on earth at almost two billion tons. As such, the city has become one of the largest producers of nickel and is the largest source of palladium in the world.
