Female snow bunting with a beakfull of maggots to feed to a fledgling that's still in the nest. After she had circled us for a few minutes, we realised that the nest was in a crack in the rocks, just below our feet. So we moved away, rapidly!

Iceberg under cloud, Kangerdlugssuaq Fjord, East Greenland, originally uploaded by Dave Walsh Photography.

YES this is a colour image!
Iceberg under cloud, Kangerdlugssuaq Fjord, East Greenland. Taken from the deck of the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise on 29 August 2009, during an expedition to investigate the effects of climate change in the Arctic.

Btw, the white streaks you can see behind the cloud and the 'berg are actually streaks of snow on a mountain, on the side of the fjord. The images is not desaturated - I just underexposed the hell out of it.

So, it's not a monochrome image. In fact, in Lightroom, the only controls I used were exposure, blacks, lights, darks, and shadows. No colour has been removed or added in the picture, I just shot it 1.6 underexposed in blinding daylight.

Petermann Glacier from above, originally uploaded by Dave Walsh Photography.

Petermann Glacier, seen from above, northwestern Greenland. To get a sense of scale, I'd say you're looking at an area about 1.5km wide.

Photographed from a helicopter on the first leg of the Greenpeace Arctic Impacts expedition 07/07/2009. Peterman glacier is the longest floating glacier in the northern hemisphere. The floating area is 16km by 80km. A 100 square km chunk, about 5 billion tonnes of ice is about to break off - and we're planning on being there to see it.

Petermann Glacier, near its face, northwestern Greenland. This floating part of the glacier is 80km long, and 16km wide at it's skinniest. The cliffs in the backgrounds are around 1000m high.

Nanuk: Polar Bear looking me right in the eye, originally uploaded by Dave Walsh Photography.

Posted to flickr in August 2009 Nanuk: Polar Bear, Ursus Maritimus seen from the deck of the Arctic Sunrise in Kane Basin, North west Greenland. The bear's curiosity drew the ship while it was stationary, in sea ice, just after midnight on Sunday morning. It came very close to the ship, and even looked like it thought about trying to scale the side of the vessel, before playfully rolling about on the ice.
