Swans swim over a lake as steam ascends above the water during sunset near the village
Swans swim over a lake, with the air temperature at about minus 35 degrees Celsius (minus 31 degrees Fahrenheit) as steam ascends above the water during sunset near the village of Urozhainy, Sovetsky district of Altai region, January 26, 2015. About 600 swans annually migrate to the lake, which is heated by warm springs, where they spend their winter being fed by yagers, which help them to survive the severe cold.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Andrei Kasprishin, swans gracefully glide over a serene lake as steam rises above the water during sunset. The scene unfolds near the village of Urozhainy in the Sovetsky district of Altai region, Russia on January 26,2015. Despite the air temperature plummeting to a bone-chilling minus 35 degrees Celsius (minus 31 degrees Fahrenheit), these resilient creatures find solace in the warmth provided by natural springs that keep parts of the lake from freezing completely. Every year, approximately 600 swans migrate to this haven where they seek refuge from harsh winter conditions. They rely on yagers, local inhabitants who diligently feed them and ensure their survival amidst severe cold spells. As daylight fades into twilight, an ethereal mist envelops the tranquil waterscape, creating an enchanting ambiance that is both mystical and captivating. This photograph not only captures nature's beauty but also serves as a testament to resilience and symbiotic relationships within our environment. It reminds us of how animals adapt and thrive even under extreme circumstances while showcasing humanity's role in nurturing and protecting wildlife. Andrei Kasprishin skillfully freezes this fleeting moment in time when nature reveals its awe-inspiring wonders. Through his lens, we are transported to a world where grace meets frigidity—a visual symphony that leaves us humbled by nature's grandeur.
