EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible snapshot captured by photographer Steve Kazlowski, we witness a truly unique sight in Norway's Svalbard Archipelago. A flock of Brunnich's guillemots, known for their striking black and white plumage, have found the perfect spot to rest during their summer migration. Perched gracefully on a floating ice floe off the coast of Spitsbergen, these feathered friends seem to be enjoying some well-deserved downtime. With the glacial backdrop and crystal-clear waters surrounding them, it’s hard not to envy their serene environment. But amidst all the beauty lies an important message about our changing climate. As global warming continues to impact Arctic regions like Svalbard, melting ice floes become more common. These resilient birds are adapting to survive in this ever-changing landscape. Nature never ceases to amaze us with its wonders! So let this image serve as a reminder that even in challenging times, life finds a way – whether it's these migratory guillemots taking refuge or photographers like Ardea Picture Library capturing such breathtaking moments for us all to enjoy.
