Arctic Tern - The Master of Aquatic Acrobatics Takes Flight!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this breathtaking snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Malcolm Schuyl, we witness the Arctic Tern in all its glory. With its elegant wings outstretched and a determined look on its face, this adult tern emerges from the glistening Icelandic waters with a mouthful of delicious food. It's feeding time! Known for their remarkable aerial skills and long migratory journeys, these magnificent birds are true masters of flight. With their striking plumage and graceful movements, they effortlessly glide through the air like acrobats performing an intricate routine. The Arctic Tern's journey takes it across vast distances, breeding in the Arctic regions before embarking on an epic migration to warmer climates in Asia or North America. This versatile creature is equally at home diving into icy northern lakes as it is soaring above the Atlantic Ocean. As summer arrives in Iceland, these feathery daredevils take advantage of abundant fresh water resources teeming with tasty treats. They dive beneath the surface with precision and emerge triumphantly with fish or other aquatic delicacies clutched tightly in their beaks. So next time you spot a flash of white against a backdrop of blue skies or sparkling waters, remember that you might just have witnessed one of nature's most skilled aviators - the incredible Arctic Tern!
