Silhouette of Leopard Seal Hunting Under Ice Shelf

by Malcolm Lowe

A leopard seal moves through the dim, backlit water beneath a floating ice shelf in a British Columbia seagrass channel. The animal appears as a dark, streamlined silhouette against the faint glow filtering from the surface above. Fine plankton haze softens the distant background, showing suspended space around the hunter. Sparse green seagrass blades drift vertically near the rocky seabed, their edges blurred by the shallow depth of field. The ice shelf overhead presents a rough, uneven underside, its texture sharp in the foreground while fading into the milky water. One patch of light catches the curve of the seal's back, highlighting the smooth, wet skin against the murky, quiet environment.
