March 11, 1955: While a group of seals couldn’t be bothered with the juggernaut of human discovery, scientists installed an instrument designed to measure the earth’s magnetic field. A New York Times photographer was the only correspondent among explorer-researchers, and the paper devoted two pages to his remarkable images. Part of the expedition involved preparing for another operation the next year, as well as harassing penguins. Photo: Walter Sullivan/The New York Times

Pyongyang Eddo Hartmann + Koryo Studio

Photographer Eddo Hartmann and North Korean art specialists Koryo Studio collaborate on a project documenting the North Korean endeavour to shape the ultimate socialist city and the lives of the people in it. In any socialist regime, architecture plays a key part in the process of building up a new social and political environment.

Nov. 13, 1975: A drenched polar bear, indifferent to November rain in the Central Park Zoo. He was the second Skandy to grace the zoo (sometimes spelled Scandy); a few years earlier, the first had been shot after grabbing a man who climbed a fence and stuck his hand in the bear’s cage. Skandy II also had an unpleasant human interaction, killing “a man the authorities described as homeless and irrational” who climbed several fences to enter his cage.

July 12, 1950: The zookeeper Robert Montana cited diet as a key to the longevity of Peter the Great — or, as The Times called him on his 47th birthday at the Bronx Zoo, “Peter the Wondrous Ancient.” A special cocktail of oats, yeast, water, linseed oil meal and other ingredients helped Pete avoid “a long overdue appointment with his ancestors.” He was the oldest hippo in captivity in the world at the time, and his “life has been exemplary. He never has had a girl friend. He was born in Central Park, and the only other hippo with whom has had even a nodding acquaintance was his mother.” Photo: Arthur Brower/The New York Times
