In the stark, wind-etched lakes of the high north, this slate-necked diver drifts with composed authority. It plunges beneath the surface to hunt fish and aquatic invertebrates, propelling itself with powerful strokes through cold, clear depths. What makes it extraordinary is its dual life between worlds — breeding on remote freshwater tundra lakes, then traveling to open seas, it links fragile Arctic waters with distant oceans. Silent and dignified on the water, yet a vital sentinel of northern ecosystems.
