Discover the majesty of Puget Sound's King Crab (Lopholithodes mandtii), with its intricately lined face and piercing eyes, captured in an extreme close-up, off the coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. This colossal crustacean, known as Pau Amma the Crab, rises out of the sea as tall as the smoke of three volcanoes, a sight to behold. In folklore, Pau Amma is said to run away when the Eldest Magician speaks to the Man. In Japan, Honshu's Tsukiji Outer Market comes alive with the display of freshly caught King Crab legs, a delicacy sought after in Tokyo's bustling seafood shops. Indigenous fishermen, adorned in colorful lithographs, cast their nets in the hope of catching these magnificent creatures. Witness the raw power and beauty of a front view of a King Crab underwater, and indulge in the succulent, cooked Red King Crab, a culinary delight.
