Ice Bed wallpaper
This award-winning image clearly shows the threat facing the polar bear species. Scientists agree that this threat is one of the consequences of the climate crisis.
This small iceberg has provided a temporary shelter for the bears – a metaphor for how the animals’ habitats are getting smaller and smaller as the world warms.
Mr. Sarikhani’s photo was selected as the winner through a public poll among the 25 final photos. The photo received 75,000 votes, which the Natural History Museum says is a record. More than 50,000 photos participated in this competition.
Sarikhani took this photo during a three-day exploration in the waters of Norway’s Svalbard archipelago. He said in the news announcement of this award:
This photo has evoked strong emotions in many of its witnesses. Since climate change is the biggest challenge we face, I also hope this picture is hopeful; There is still time to undo the damage we have done.
How to photograph Nima Sarikhani
After three days of searching for polar bears in thick fog, the expedition vessel Nima changed course and headed towards an area with remaining sea ice. There, Nima came across a younger and an older male polar bear. Just before midnight, the young male climbed onto a small iceberg and, with its strong paws, carved out a bed before drifting off to sleep.
