www.silvertipworld.com - 600 nautical miles from the North Pole, a hidden predator lies in wait for its prey. This fish is a form of sculpin, a relatively common type of fish found in these freezing waters. They usually hunt other fish and crustaceans by lying in wait, camouflaged amongst the surrounding algae by their markings, and by remaining still on large, modified fins. With a sudden lunge careless prey is engulfed by a large mouth. Wonderful markings are revealed in a closeup view of this Arctic hunter.
79 degrees would have been a much warmer dive! Water temp was about 1 degree C. C for Cosy.
