EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this stunning snapshot captured by Michael Nolan, we witness the incredible journey of adult male pink salmon as they make their way back to their birthplace in southeast Alaska. These determined fish are on a mission - to spawn and continue the circle of life! With their vibrant pink hue glistening under the crystal-clear waters, these humpbacked salmon create quite a spectacle. It's no wonder they're also known as "humpies"! As if wearing a crown, an enormous hump develops on their backs during this critical period. The scene is like something out of a nature documentary - an underwater ballet where each fish plays its part. The river becomes a bustling metropolis as these North American natives gather en masse for this grand reproductive event. As they navigate through the rushing streams and rivers, it's hard not to admire the strength and determination of these Alaskan heroes. They battle against currents with unwavering resolve, reminding us that even in our own lives, persistence can lead us home. So let's raise our glasses (of water) to these fascinating creatures who bring life and color to America's northern hemisphere! Their annual return is truly a testament to nature's resilience and beauty.
