In the past week, I traveled to northern Mongolia

In the past week, I traveled to northern Mongolia to visit the Tsaatan reindeer herders. It was not an easy journey and perhaps the most challenging trip I have ever organized — from the long drive into one of the most remote regions of the Mongolian taiga to the extreme cold. This week’s sharp temperature drop, likely caused by a powerful cold air mass moving across the region, pushed temperatures down to between −30 and −45°C, and at times as low as −53°C. In such conditions, even standing outdoors for extended periods becomes exhausting, and operating a camera is a serious challenge. Nonetheless, it was an unforgettable adventure, and we were fortunate to witness something truly rare and extraordinary.

Aerial view of the Utah Badlands. Badlands are arid landscapes formed by the erosion of soft sedimentary rock and clay-rich soils by wind and water, characterized by steep slopes, sparse vegetation, minimal regolith, and dense drainage networks. The Utah Badlands are especially photogenic, with spectacular layers of color and dramatic sculpted formations revealed from above.

I will soon be returning to northern Mongolia to photograph the Tsaatan reindeer herders, where temperatures can drop to around -20 to -30 degrees Celsius (-4 to -22 degrees Fahrenheit) in the winter. The Tsaatan constitute a nomadic tribe living deep within the Taiga region of northern Mongolia and represent one of the few remaining communities of nomadic reindeer herders in the world. Approximately 400 Tsaatan individuals, organized into 70 to 80 families, form closely-knit communities that rely entirely on their reindeer herds. These animals serve as their primary means of transportation for a wide range of purposes: hunting, gathering firewood, undertaking seasonal migrations, visiting relatives and friends, and traveling to nearby towns for trade and essential supplies. Reindeer milk is central to the Tsaatan’s livelihood, forming a staple of their diet and serving as the basis for products such as cheese, milk tea, butter, and yogurt. During the milking season, a single reindeer can produce 96 to 100 liters of dense, nourishing milk. Although the Tsaatan occasionally consume reindeer meat, their priority is to increase the size of their herds rather than to slaughter these vital animals.

With just a week left in the year, it’s hard to

With just a week left in the year, it’s hard to believe how both long and fleeting 2025 has been. Over the past year, I led 28 photo workshops and had the privilege of sharing unforgettable experiences with ~300 participants from around the world, from witnessing the aurora borealis to capturing rare wildlife moments and so much more. Sharing what I love with others remains the most rewarding part of this job as a photographer.

Beyond the workshops, our Sunskye Films @sunskyefilms team embarked on an unforgettable filming expedition to Mongolia, where, after three weeks of round-the-clock waiting, we captured the world’s first footage of a newborn wild camel at the newly established Wild Camel Breeding Center in Toli Bulag. Our team members also traveled to the Sea of Cortez in Mexico to document illegal fishing and vaquita conservation efforts with Sea Shepherd, as well as to Prague Zoo in the Czech Republic to visit and meeting about the Przewalski’s horse conservation project.

Meanwhile, our Global Heritage Society @globalheritagesociety team organized multiple field trips, fundraising initiatives, and educational events to support the conservation of Wild Camels and Pallas’s cats in Mongolia.

On a personal note, I was fortunate to enjoy three scuba diving adventures this year, in Tenerife, Semporna/Sipadan in Malaysia, and Malta, exploring more of the 70 percent of our planet covered by water.

By the numbers, this year involved 54 flights, 207 hours in the air, and 219,122 kilometers (136,156 miles) traveled, that’s equivalent to 0.57 times the distance to the moon or 5.5 times around the Earth!

It has been a challenging year in terms of business operations and management, but I am grateful to still be standing strong. Here’s to hoping for a brighter and better 2026.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Abisko Canyon lies in Lapland, within the Arctic r

Abisko Canyon lies in Lapland, within the Arctic region of northern Sweden. For thousands of years, this land has been home to the Sámi people, the Indigenous inhabitants of the region. Traditionally semi-nomadic, the Sámi followed the seasonal migrations of reindeer, a way of life that gradually evolved into reindeer herding, which remains central to their culture today. Throughout the national park, tangible traces of this long human history are still visible, including ancient pitfalls used for hunting, remnants of temporary huts, and stone hearths that once provided warmth and a gathering place in the harsh Arctic environment.

Iceberg in Antarctica. Antarctica is a critical po

Iceberg in Antarctica. Antarctica is a critical powerhouse in maintaining the planet’s climate stability. It contains approximately 70 percent of Earth’s fresh water and about 90 percent of its freshwater ice. Since 1992, the continent has lost an estimated 2.7 trillion tons of ice, contributing to a global sea level rise of more than 7.5 millimeters. In March 2000, a massive iceberg measuring roughly 280 kilometers long and 40 kilometers wide broke away from the Ross Ice Shelf. This was the largest ice shelf calving event ever recorded and its area was comparable to the size of Connecticut.

Aurora borealis in Lofoten, Norway. Did you know t

Aurora borealis in Lofoten, Norway. Did you know that in the past, fishing communities in Scandinavia believed the northern lights were the reflection of light off immense shoals of herring in the ocean? To them, this mesmerizing phenomenon was considered a sign of good luck, blessing those fortunate enough to see its shimmering dance.

Today, there are an estimated of 250 Kazakh eagle

Today, there are an estimated of 250 Kazakh eagle hunters in Mongolia. The tradition of eagle hunting is over a thousand years old, as depicted by the cave paintings from Bronze Age. It was inherited from their Turkic and Mongol ancestors and were practicing it when they emerged as an ethnic group since 15th century. Genghis Khan was believed to be an eagle hunter! The hunting with eagles is primarily for fur, not for meat. This fur is an integral part of traditional Kazakh clothing. Various animals are hunted for their fur, including rabbits, hares, marmots, red and Corsac foxes, wild cats and wolves.

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park @deathvalleynps, California. Named after the mesquite trees that thrive in the region. These dunes also gained pop-culture fame as the filming location for the Tatooine desert scenes in Star Wars, where R2-D2 and C-3PO made their iconic trek across the sand.

Sunrise at Stetinden, the national mountain of Norway. In 2002, listeners of NRK, Norway’s public broadcasting company, voted Stetinden as the nation’s official mountain. Rising 1,395 meters, it has long served as an important coastal landmark and is surrounded by legends, myths, and memorable descriptions. One quote captures its beauty perfectly: “Those of us who are not born with a gifted pen may struggle to describe the sensation of standing on Stetinden on a perfect day.”
