In this captivating photo, two little blue penguins stand proudly on rocks, their silhouettes illuminated by Melbourne city lights. As winners of the COP26 Countdown Photo Competition 2021, this enchanting scene symbolizes the delicate balance between urban life and marine habitats. Venturing further into the tempestuous seas, we witness Storm Ruth unleashing its fury upon d'Ar-Men lighthouse at Ile de Sein in Armorique. The relentless waves crash against its sturdy walls, a testament to human resilience amidst nature's wrath. Amidst these tumultuous waters lies a heartwarming sight – an Alaskan sea otter mother tenderly carrying her young pup through icy Alaskan waters. Their bond exemplifies maternal love and protection in one of Earth's most unforgiving environments. Moving towards warmer shores, we encounter a majestic dugong gracefully feeding on a seagrass meadow. This gentle giant reminds us of the importance of preserving fragile ecosystems that sustain countless marine species. The ocean holds many secrets, including encounters with magnificent killer whales or orcas gliding effortlessly through Arctic waters. These intelligent creatures inspire awe and remind us of our responsibility to safeguard their habitat for generations to come. Delving deeper into mysterious depths reveals an astonishing sight – a Greenland shark adorned with parasitic copepods clinging to its body. This symbiotic relationship highlights nature's intricate interconnectedness even in seemingly harsh conditions. Above water once again, northern gannets dive fearlessly from great heights into Scottish seas below as they hunt for fish.
