When National Geographic Explorer Tamara Merino’s tire blew out in a seemingly desolate area of Australia’s Simpson Desert, she had no idea she was near an entire underground community of 2,000 dwelling in an opal mining outpost called Coober Pedy. Intrigued by their way of life, she’s traveled the world—including Jordan, Lesotho, Tunisia, and Turkey, as captured here—in search of other cave societies to document. Though it’s an increasingly rare way of life in the 21st century, humans have lived in caves for millions of years. This ancient practice isn’t just a remnant of humanity’s past—it can also provide important lessons for how we might adapt to climate change as global warming makes surface dwelling more difficult.

Fibroids are solid lumps of muscle—some the size of a watermelon—that grow inside the uterine wall. They can dramatically affect a woman’s quality of life and fertility. Lasting treatments are scarce, and scientists still have many questions about them, including why they develop and what makes them grow. Learn about some recent advances, including a procedure that shrinks fibroids using radiofrequency energy, and certain lifestyle interventions that seem to minimize recurrence at the link in bio.

Sir Dudley Marjoribanks is said to have bred the golden retriever in 1868 at Guisachan House, his now ruined Scottish Highlands hunting estate. Fans of the breed gather there every five years. Photographer Sandra Mailer (@sandymsport) visited the estate to document the occasion. “Mayhem. Chaos. Craziness. I knew I’d only have a few seconds before the dogs would basically fly off. Then they had the zoomies, and they’re going mad, and it is carnage," says Mailer.
