Narwhals Crossing Tusks Under Arctic Ice in beneath a pressure-ridged sheet of sea ice near Iqaluit

Narwhals Crossing Tusks Under Arctic Ice

by Bridget Reese

Deep blue water fills the frame beneath a thick, pressure-ridged sheet of sea ice. Two narwhals face each other, their spiraled tusks locked in a precise cross. The scene is lit by the faint, diffuse glow of the midnight sun filtering through the ice above, casting a cool, luminous haze. Countless suspended particles glitter in the water column like scattered diamond dust. A cluster of small fish hangs motionless in the current, frozen perfectly still as if time has stopped. The rough, white texture of the ice contrasts with the smooth, grey skin of the whales. Tiny bubbles rest on the tips of the tusks, and the shadow of the ice ridge stretches long across the sandy bottom.
