«Breaking News» On the brink: Polar bears tip-toe on edge of a melting Arctic iceberg

Tip-toeing on the edge of a melting Arctic iceberg cliff, two polar bears dice with death in their dwindling natural habitat.

The endangered bears - a mother and her young cub - are just feet from a huge fissure caused by the melting of polar ice caps due to global warming.

The stunning photo, which serves as a stark reminder of the devastating effects of climate change, is among a renowned wildlife photographer's best pictures this year.

Paul Goldstein's incredible gallery features an Arctic fox sticking out its tongue, a snoozing silverback gorilla and a lioness carrying her cub in her mouth.

One the brink of extinction: Tip-toeing on the edge of a melting Arctic iceberg cliff, two polar bears dice with death in their dwindling natural habitat. The endangered bears - a mother and her young cub - are just feet from a huge fissure caused by the melting of polar ice caps due to global warming. Meanwhile, a silverback gorilla takes a time-out to have a rest in Uganda

Cheeky boy! An Arctic fox sticks out his tongue in Spitsbergen, northern Norway. The stunning photo is among a renowned wildlife photographer's best pictures this year. Paul Goldstein's incredible gallery features animals from all over the world

All friends here: A group of giraffes keenly watch a cheetah at the Olare Conservancy in Kenya. Mr Goldstein, who is also a guide, said: 'Guiding photographers and wildlife fans is almost always a joy even though the animals seldom oblige. However, if this job was easy it would not produce the narcotic-like thrill'

In the jaguar's lair: This incredible close-up shows a jaguar up a tree in Pantanal in Brazil. Mr Goldstein added: 'There is no such thing as a perfect photograph, sometimes I get close but it can always be bettered, but this is why it is so intoxicating'

Cats really do hate water: This incredible image captures a lion shaking off rain in the Olare Conservancy in Kenya. Mr Goldstein said: 'The people I guide spend a lot of money, often in poorer parts of the world, so the moments and images being elusive has a financial implication too as they keep coming back for more and many benefit from the tourist coin'

Eye eye of the storm: Wildebeest in storm in Naboisho Conservancy in Kenya. Talking about his gallery, Mr Goldstein said: 'Polar bears, penguins, cats of all descriptions and even starlings all make up this pictorial lexicon'

Fantastic Mr Fox: An Arctic fox in Baffin Island, Canada. It comes as scientists warn the largest sheet of ice in the world, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, which contains half the world's freshwater, could melt if rising temperatures persist

Having a blast: Desert elephants in Northern Namibia. Mr Goldstein said: 'People often ask where do you want to go now? It is a simple answer, I have found the necessary Edens in the Arctic, Antarctic and particularly the Mara Conservancies'

Hoping around: Adelie penguins Antarctica. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet, known as the EAIS, is around 60 times bigger than Britain and measures some 27 million km³. Scientists have discovered that even if the 2°C (3.6°F) target set by the Paris Climate Agreement is achieved, sea levels could be set to rise up to 13 feet (4 metres)

The amazing gallery even featured one photo taken in Britain, this left image of Starlings in Suffolk, in the south of England. The right image shows two giraffes in Olare Conservancy in Kenya, one of Mr Goldstein's favourite spots

Chillaxing: Mr Goldstein's stunning gallery features a second image of the same Jaguar in Pantanal in Brazil. This wider shot shows his chosen bed, a tree, deep in the woods

Motherly love: A lioness and cub in Mara North Conservancy. The Mara Triangle is the north-western part of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, and is managed by the not-for-profit organisation The Mara Conservancy

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
