EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking photograph, Atlantic walruses, Odobenus rosmarus, can be seen gracefully swimming in the crystal-clear Arctic waters off the coast of Nordaustlandet, Svalbard, Norway. The Nordaustlandet island, part of the Svalbard archipelago in Northern Europe, is known for its stunning polar landscapes and abundant marine life. The Atlantic walrus is a pinniped, or seal-like marine mammal, well adapted to living in the harsh polar climate. The image captures a group of walruses as they surface for air during daytime in the Arctic Ocean. Their massive bodies, covered in thick blubber to keep warm in the frigid waters, glisten in the sunlight. The walruses' distinctive long tusks, which are actually elongated canine teeth, can be seen protruding from their upper jaws. These tusks are used for a variety of purposes, including defense, digging for clams, and hauling themselves onto ice or rocky shores. The Arctic waters surrounding Nordaustlandet are rich in fish and other marine life, making it an essential feeding ground for the Atlantic walrus. The serene scene showcases the natural beauty of this wilderness area, which is a popular travel destination for those seeking adventure and a chance to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The photograph was taken by renowned nature photographer Sergio Pitamitz, who expertly captures the raw power and grace of these impressive marine mammals. The image is a testament to the unique and awe-inspiring natural wonders that can be found in the polar regions of our planet.
