Fish in Bloom
Tiina Törmänen, who has spent years exploring and documenting lakes in remote northern Finland, captured European perch swimming through an algal bloom in Lapland. The bloom, likely caused by unusually warm summer waters linked to climate change, highlights small-scale shifts in the Arctic ecosystem. The photographer tells Nat Geo that the algal backdrop gave the scene a surreal feel, "almost like a painting."
