Wildlife Photography Along the Appalachian Trail
The Appalachian Trail isn't normally a hot spot for the paparazzi.

We find out what they're seeing - and what they hope this research will reveal about biodiversity in our region.

Creatures of the World's Coldest Climates
The waters of the Arctic and Antarctic used to be seen as virtual wastelands where few species could survive. But scientists say they've recently discovered amazing animals living in these frigid waters - including fish that use a sort of antifreeze to stay alive. We talk with one of the researchers involved in these discoveries, and learn more about the surprising biodiversity of these remote corners of the globe.
