Life at the Edge: Arctic Flora on Dolgy Island

by Kseniiia Ivanova

On Dolgy Island in the Barents Sea, Arctic wildflowers and mosses flourish just meters from the harsh northern coastline. This image captures the resilience of tundra vegetation under extreme environmental conditions, where short summers and cold maritime winds define the growing season. The composition highlights the fragile beauty of Arctic biodiversity in a rapidly changing climate.
