Selfies on Assigment

"I am sitting with 13 other participants in a life raft wearing a survival suit, on the way back to our rescue vessel," writes photographer Esther Horvath of this selfie she took upon completing Polar Code training in Svalbard, Norway. "It was challenging because of lack of sleep. Within 64 hours I managed to sleep only 4."

Horvath will be accompanying scientists on the MOAiC Arctic expedition beginning this month.
