Orcas in a hurry

orcas hunting

Antarctica has a special place in the hearts of Tasmanians, and a visitor has pointed out this amazing photograph of Orcas sprinting along a channel which has opened in the ice.

It comes from an equally impressive photo-essay on Time magazine’s web site — Life Beneath Antarctic Ice by photographer Norbert Wu, who writes:

They are headed deep into McMurdo Sound, where they hope to find food.

They must hurry, however, for wind conditions can cause the channel to freeze again, cutting off the whales’ access to air.
