For the last 500 years, the locals of Nongriat in Meghalaya, India have grown several hundred bridges across the region’s numerous water channels, using just the roots of local ribber trees. Some of the bridges extend over 100 feet in length and are strong enough to support more than 50 people at a time.
The winning entry for the Underwater World category was American photographer Brian Skerry’s amazing photo of a curious right whale investigating his dive buddy 22 metres below the surface off the Auckland Islands south of New Zealand.
