EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured by Randy Olson, the Ozernaya River in the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, comes alive with the vibrant spectacle of spawning salmon. The river, a shallow and clear body of water nestled in the Commonwealth of Independent States, transforms into a bustling highway for these magnificent fish. The salmon, with their distinctive hooked noses and colorful bodies, dominate the traffic in the river. The males, easily identifiable by their bright red and green colors, fiercely defend their chosen spawning grounds against other males, while the females, with their more subtle, silver-gray hues, lay their eggs in the gravel beds. The underwater scene is a symphony of motion as the salmon swim upstream, their powerful tails propelling them forward against the current. The shallow water allows for a unique perspective, revealing the intricate details of their scales and fins. The color strategies of the salmon are essential for their survival. The bright colors of the males attract females during mating season, while the drab colors of the females help them blend in with their surroundings, protecting them and their eggs from predators. This image offers a rare glimpse into the natural world, showcasing the raw power and beauty of these fish during their annual spawning run. The absence of humans adds to the serene and untouched atmosphere, making it a truly breathtaking photograph.
