Photo of the Day

Form a Wall

After camping in the wilderness of Greenland, about 55 miles from the nearest municipality of Kangerlussuaq, Your Shot photographer Stefan Forster finally came upon a group of musk oxen, approaching slowly to get a strong image of the shy creatures. One sudden movement, though, and the oxen sprung into action, the adults forming up to create a wall around the juvenile animals. As Forster writes, it gave him “the perfect moment for this shot.” This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
