A flock of several thousand Kittiwakes take flight from their resting spot at the face of a glacier along the coast of Svalbard. I was in Svalbard photographing polar bears along the shoreline and the edge of the ice sheet when we happened upon an enormous flock of kittiwakes feeding and resting in the arctic water at the face of a glacier. As we approached slowly in a zodiac, trying not to disturb them, the flock suddenly decided to take flight and chaos ensued. I used a slower shutter speed, (1/60th of a second) to try to capture the absolute mayhem I was witnessing.
