One Woman's Herd
In this image from our photography archives, Jaina Koken, a herder in western Mongolia, pokes her head out of her kïiz üy—the Kazah word for a felt house—in the Altai district of the Bayan Ulgii province. For Koken and other herders, their livestock—which include sheep, horses, and yaks—provide both income and sustenance. But increasingly extreme temperatures wreak havoc on livestock, and weaker animals often perish when their rain-soaked coats freeze overnight.Limitless with Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth takes on three epic challenges to explore science-backed ways to improve our health. He learns to drum for a brain-boosting, surprise stadium gig, climbs a frozen 600-foot wall to explore the benefits of breaking out of our comfort zones, and embraces brutal Special Forces pain training in South Korea—all to discover how we can live longer, better lives.
