Venturing further north to North West Norway in March, you'll be greeted by another awe-inspiring sight – a young female Grey seal navigating through a forest of Cuvie kelp. Beneath these towering giants lies an aggregation of Common sea urchins (Echinus esculentus), their spiky bodies contrasting against the lush greenery. Marvel at nature's ingenuity as you spot a Spider crab (Hyas sp. ) scaling the sturdy stipe of Cuvie kelp with remarkable agility. Nearby, a Common hermit crab (Pagurus bernhardus) indulges in its feast on Flame shells (Limaria hians), showcasing nature's delicate balance between predator and prey. As you explore deeper into this aquatic wonderland, encounter a male Lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) gracefully swimming through the dense Kelp forest. Witness how herbivorous Common sea urchins graze peacefully on kelp blades while adding their own touch to this underwater masterpiece. Finally, catch sight of colorful soft corals once again – Alcyonium digitatum, also known as Dead Man's Fingers.
