Q:2,500 people live here year-round, many working in Svalbard's coal mines.
Q: How can people live up there with the unsurvivable conditions?!
C: The fact that it was surprising that animals could survive in those conditions to scientists, and yet humans also live there is very interesting to me. That a person could work, and survive there is a wonder.
Marine: Ultra Marine
Q:What the Bird's Head Seascape holds: 2,500 islands and reefs, nearly 1,300 fish species, 600 coral species, 700 mollusks (including seven species of giant clam), sea turtle rookeries, and more.
Q:How can you protect all of that life?
C: i think it is remarkable that so many species can live amongst eachother, and benefit the community as a whole. I wish humans could learn from other animals, and that we could FIX things rather than ruin them.
Desert: The Cruelest Place on Earth
Q:Then we would come to know it not simply as a place of harsh rocks, gravel, and lava but as a shelter, a home, an open stretch beneath the sky that offers all a man and his family need: grass for the livestock, palms for weaving the thatch of a home, special shrubs for making a toothbrush or curing a stomachache, and canyons with deep, cool water holes.
Q: How come more dont live there?
C: i think that many people overlook the benefits of the things they think would suck. I think that ya if i took a look at a piece of land, that had dead carcasses and blistering heat, and no rain, i dont think i would want to live there. But these people have mad e a home for themselves, that they love.
