IN THE SPOTLIGHT

These views of the forest land in southeastern South Sudan, taken from a helicopter, reveal the region’s expansiveness.

Six million antelope travel across South Sudan each year around this time. Crossing wetlands, drylands, and back over the Great Nile Migration Landscape, it is the largest land migration of mammals that long unfolded almost entirely unseen—until now.

LAST GLIMPSE

Bike riders “surf” on their bikes across a bridge

PHOTOGRAPH BY BRIAN FINKE

In the summer of 2020, photographer Brian Finke noticed something curious. As he was leaving a city pool, a rider on a mountain bike rolled by, popping a wheelie that lasted nearly half the block. Finke sped after him on his own bike and introduced himself at a red light. The man was one of thousands of New Yorkers using their bikes to blow off lockdown-induced steam, gathering en masse, playing music as they rode. Some stood up to surf atop their bikes, while others swerved wildly from side to side. In the years that followed, Finke documented this fascinating slice of New York City life.
