Tell us the story behind your photo:
It was especially cold and rainy on the second day of my qualifying journey. The night before had been challenging (wind, adjusting to the environment), and we hiked for four hours to reach another lake the next morning. My friend and I were especially being pushed to our limits which resulted in this hug. The hug represents compassion and empathy, even during tumultuous moments.
