EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in their natural habitat in the Southern Ocean, Antarctica. The image showcases a single specimen of this small crustacean, known for its translucent body and delicate features. Against a striking black background, the photograph highlights the intricate details of the krill's anatomy. Its long antenna can be seen extending gracefully from its body, while its tiny size is emphasized by the extreme close-up and magnification used to capture this shot. Krill play a vital role in marine ecosystems as an essential food source for many larger animals such as whales and penguins. This image serves as a reminder of their crucial position within these trophic chains. Photographer Steve Jones skillfully captures not only the scientific significance but also the aesthetic appeal of this microscopic creature. The vibrant coloration adds depth to this otherwise unseen world beneath our oceans' surface. With no people present in the frame, viewers are invited to focus solely on nature's wonders. This photograph is sure to captivate wildlife enthusiasts, scientists, and anyone with an appreciation for Earth's diverse animal kingdom.
