EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing sight in the remote wilderness of Wrangel Island, Russia. A group of majestic Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) can be seen resting gracefully on an expansive ice floe in Krasin Bay. The Chuckchi Sea provides a stunning backdrop to this natural spectacle. The image showcases the beauty and serenity of nature, with the calm waters reflecting the magnificent creatures and their surroundings. The brown-colored walruses stand out against the icy landscape, creating a striking contrast that is enhanced by the rippled texture of the water. As part of a larger colony, these walruses find solace and respite on this floating platform amidst their vast habitat. Their large bodies are perfectly adapted for life in cold temperatures, making them well-suited to survive in this harsh environment. Wrangel Island itself holds great significance as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its exceptional biodiversity and untouched landscapes. This photograph encapsulates both its natural wonders and highlights why it deserves such prestigious recognition. Through this image captured by G&M Therin-Weise/Robert Harding, viewers are transported to an unspoiled corner of Eurasia where wildlife thrives undisturbed. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these precious habitats and ensure future generations can continue to marvel at scenes like these in person.
