Já todos sabemos que a fotografia que ganhou a escolha do público no Concurso Internacional Wildlife Photographer of the Year, promovido pelo Museu Britânico de História Natural, foi a belíssima foto do urso polar (Ursus maritimus) a dormitar num pedaço de gelo inclinado. É só visitar o nosso blog Geração Polar para confirmar.
Com o título ‘Ice Bed’, ou “cama de gelo”, em português, a imagem foi captada por Nima Sarikhani, ao largo do arquipélago norueguês de Svalbard, durante uma expedição para encontrar ursos-polares.
Foram também distinguidas quatro outras fotografias com a categoria de ‘Altamente Recomendadas", no total de quatro. a primeira, ‘The Happy Turtle’ (“A Tartaruga Feliz”, em português). Mostra a interacção peculiar entre uma tartaruga de água doce e uma libelinha, como já vimos mais acima, da autoria de Tzahi Finkelstein.
Tzahi Finkelstein estava escondido, a fotografar pássaros costeiros, quando avistou esta tartaruga dos Balcãs, caminhando em águas rasas.

Esta capta o momento em que um bando de estorninhos, em pleno voo, cria uma ‘super-pássaro’ recortado no céu, que a objectiva de Daniel Dencescu não deixou escapar.

We already know that the winner photograph of People's Choice the International Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition, promoted by the British History Natural Museum, was the stunning shot of a young polar bear (Ursus maritimus) drifting to sleep on an iceberg, by British amateur photographer Nima Sarikhani. Just visit our blog Geração Polar to admire it.
"Sarikhani's breathtaking and poignant image allows us to see the beauty and fragility of our planet," Natural History Museum director Dr Douglas Gurr said.
With the title ‘Ice Bed’, or “camade gelo”, in Portuguese, the image was captured by Nima Sarikhani, off the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, during an expedition to find polar bears.
Four other outstanding finalists were "highly commended". as you can watch on this post.
Two lionesses already published above, had gone hunting, leaving the pride's five cubs hidden overnight in dense bushes, in Kenya's Maasai Mara Mara.
Returning from their unsuccessful mission, they called the cubs out on to the open grassland and began grooming.
Sheltering his equipment in a self-made waterproof housing, Audun Rikardsen used his own system for adjusting the focus and aperture during a single exposure, as moon jellyfish swarmed in the cool autumnal waters of a fjord outside Tromsø, in northern Norway, illuminated by the aurora borealis.
The five images will be displayed online and at London's Natural History Museum until 30 June.
