Arch Rock and Kelp
Anacapa Islands, Channel Islands National Park, California, USA
By Antonio Busiello
I wanted to capture in a single photo the beauty of Anacapa and the Channel Islands
both above and below the water. On the day of the shoot everything was perfect: calm
water, no current, strong sun and great visibility. I floated on the surface for only a short
time before I got the picture I wanted.

Mother Polar Bear with Cubs
Churchill Wildlife Management Area, Manitoba, Canada
By Linda Drake
Even after many years of watching mother polar bears with
their cubs, it still amazes me to see how gentle these huge
carnivores are with their young. The cubs tug on their mother’s
ears, play and wrestle on top of her head and bite at her nose,
cheeks and ears, while she remains calm and undisturbed.
