A free diver exercises dynamic apnoea below an iced platform, in the chilly salt water of the White Sea, at minus 2 degrees Celsius. Must be extremely prepared, brave and self-controlled to free-dive, holding the breath, in ambient without a fast and clear access to the surface. Reaching the underwater world, is an adventure itself since a thick layer of ice bars the passages every night, due to very low temperatures, and every day one must cut ice holes (called mainas by locals) into the ice platform. Salted water needs very low temperature to freeze. Below the ice platform, the upper layer is a melt of fresh and salt water, allowing a surprising amount of life to thrive. Location: White Sea, northern Russia.

The spider-tailed horned viper (Pseudocerastes urarachnoides) is a species of viper endemic to western Iran which was described in 2006. The head looks very similar to that of other Pseudocerastes species in the region, but the spider-tailed horned viper has a unique tail that has a bulb-like end that is bordered by long drooping scales that give it the appearance of a spider. The tail tip is waved around and used to lure insectivorous birds to within striking range.

I tried to apply it in photography. I think it's a great relationship between underwater photography, sea, art and history of the fishermen.

Serpentinite at Cap Corse. This rock forms at oceanic ridges where magma is altered by hydrothermal fluids. This alteration, which takes the form of veinlets on the rock, corresponds to the serpentinization of mantle peridotites by hydration (transformation of the minerals olivine and pyroxene into serpentine by reaction with these fluids). Serpentinites are particularly common in ophiolites, as seen here on Cap Corse.
