Wanderism Travel

I was sort of mugged once. In New York City.

I say ’sort of’, because while the mugger in question pulled a knife, I ended up winning the day (and keeping my life and my wallet!) with a head-fake and a Bic pen. A story for another day, perhaps.

My point is, when faced with adversity and danger we never really know what’s going to happen next. How will we get through it? Will we survive? Is a writing instrument really an option when confronting an actual knife…? (Hey, it worked for Jason Bourne!)

Adversity and danger were definitely two feelings going through NatGeo photographer Paul Nicklen’s mind when he slipped into the frigid waters of Antarctica and came face to face with a massive Leopard Seal.

Now THIS is reality TV!
