Photo by @CristinaMittermeier. In the dawn of a New Year, the golden glow of the nordic sunrise illuminates a lone male orca. Every winter, large schools of herring enter these fjords to overwinter. Following the fish are pods of orcas that feast on this bounty of nature. With @PaulNicklen #onassignment for @natgeo. To see more images of wildlife #followme at @CristinaMittermeier.
