A nice human who sent this photo-graph to the people who help me with my inter-nets asked me: 

Hello,

I was told that this is a real animal that lives in Iceland.  It is supposedly called a Momerath “which roughly translates to heavenly snow cows”.

 Am I being tricked by photoshop or is it a real animal?

 Thank you so much for taking time to look and answer.

I do not know where this photo-shop is, and if they are perhaps trying to trick you. In either case you should probably take your business to a different photo-shop.

Momeraths do not live in Iceland. Maybe you are thinking of a different island, like Australia? 

Bless, bless

Bipolar: Scott Sternbach at the Earth’s Extremes

In 2008, the photographer Scott Sternbach travelled to the world’s southern extreme to create “Antarctic Souls,” a project that focussed on the thirty-odd researchers, biologists, cooks, pilots, and boat captains who are involved in a federal project to study the effects of global warming on the region. Sternbach, who currently serves as the director of photography at LaGuardia Community College, has long dreamed of visiting the far north as well. He recently got his chance thanks to a grant from CUNY, which sent him to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, in Alaska, where he spent eight weeks photographing one of the state’s last living tribes, the Neetsaii Gwich’in.

I really love the New Yorker’s comics. I usually laugh out loud.
