Description
Beneath the towering cliffs that shred the arctic waters of Nunavut, migrating kittiwakes gather across the still water, their white forms scattered like flecks of light against stone and sea. The immense rock face gives scale to the moment, transforming hundreds of birds into a quiet pattern within the landscape—a reminder of how much life can exist within the seemingly austere North.
