A brightly coloured illustration which can be viewed in any direction. It has many elements to it working together: men in suits around a table, someone in a data centre, big hands controlling the scenes and holding a phone, people in a production line. Motifs such as network diagrams and melting emojis are placed throughout the busy vignettes.

This photograph captures the resilience of a Pallas’s cat (Otocolobus manul) in the aftermath of a heavy snowstorm in eastern Mongolia, where temperatures plunged to -35°C with wind chill. Covered entirely in snow, including its eyes, this elusive feline relies on remarkable adaptations to thrive in such extreme conditions. With its eyes positioned high on its forehead and flat ears that enhance its camouflage, the Pallas’s cat can blend seamlessly into its environment, becoming indistinguishable from a snow-covered rock. This behavior, essential for avoiding predators, highlights its extraordinary survival strategies. For me, coming from Kuwait, where temperatures reach up to 53°C, photographing this moment was a test of endurance in unfamiliar, extreme cold. Shivering from the freezing wind, I was awestruck by the cat’s ability to navigate and remain undeterred despite the heavy snow. This image showcases not only the Pallas’s cat’s incredible adaptations but also the perseverance required to capture wildlife in some of the planet’s harshest environments.
