Puzzles as Good as Nature

Go ahead, you deserve it — take a break. Put together these puzzles made from images taken during field expeditions or sent in by you.

On an Icebreaker in the Bering Sea
Photographer Chris Linder captures the experience of living on the icebreaker Healy. Put the puzzles together and listen to an audio interview with Chris about the images.

Views of the Earth
It's not plate tectonics, but it's close. These puzzles show different views of the Earth and it's your job to put the pieces together.

Lost Ladybugs
There's a ladybug mystery brewing and these images were sent in by "citizen scientists" (like you) to help researchers unravel the case of the missing ladybug. Piece together these puzzles and help solve the ladybug puzzle by sending your images. For simple steps (really) on how to submit ladybug images go to the Lost Ladybug Project.

Sustaining Forests in Mozambique
Summer Rayne Oakes, model, activist and correspondent for Planet Green, traveled to Mozambique is preserving their forests. Put together the pictures Summer took during her travels and while you're at it, listen to an audio interview with Summer. (We'll pop open a new window so you don't loose your place.)

Vanishing Glaciers
Researcher Maria Banks left the comforts of home and traveled to a remote region of Alaska -- just to look at glaciers. Put together her photos and listen to an audio interview to find out why she's so fascinated by blocks of ice. (Again, we'll pop open a new window so you can listen and play.)
