Brown bear (Ursus arctos) is Finland’s national

Brown bear (Ursus arctos) is Finland’s national animal and holds an important place in Finnish folklore. Around 2,000 brown bears live in Finland, mainly in the eastern and central forests. Although a bear standing upright may look intimidating, this is usually not an aggressive gesture, it often stands simply to get a better view or to pick up scents from its surroundings.

Today is International Wolf Day (August 13), a day

Today is International Wolf Day (August 13), a day to celebrate one of the world’s most iconic and misunderstood predators. Wolves play an important role in healthy ecosystems, yet for centuries they have been surrounded by fear, myths, and persecution. International Wolf Day reminds us of the importance of wolf conservation, better understanding their behavior, and finding ways for people and wolves to coexist peacefully.

In Finland, Eurasian wolves were once nearly wiped

In Finland, Eurasian wolves were once nearly wiped out by intensive hunting and persecution. Today, thanks to legal protection and the natural movement of wolves from neighboring populations, they are gradually returning to parts of their former range. Eurasian wolves play an important role in keeping ecosystems healthy. As top predators, they help regulate populations of animals such as deer and can influence where and how these animals feed. This may reduce excessive browsing and grazing in some areas, giving young trees and other vegetation a better chance to grow. Their presence therefore has effects that extend far beyond the animals they hunt, contributing to the complex balance of forests and other natural habitats.

White-tailed Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) in F

White-tailed Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) in Finland. It is one of Europe’s largest and most powerful birds of prey, but it doesn’t always catch its own dinner. White-tailed Sea Eagles are known to practice kleptoparasitism, a fascinating feeding strategy in which they steal freshly caught food from other animals. They may pursue ospreys carrying fish, harass other waterbirds, or simply use their enormous size and strength to take over another animal’s meal. Sometimes, survival isn’t about working harder, it’s about recognizing an opportunity.

Around 1,500–2,000 brown bears roam freely in Fi

Around 1,500–2,000 brown bears roam freely in Finland, where the brown bear is the national animal. Finnish has more than 200 different names for bears because ancient Finns believed that speaking a bear’s true name aloud could summon the animal or show it disrespect. Instead, they used respectful substitute names, and even the modern Finnish word karhu, as in ruskeakarhu (“brown bear”), is thought to have originally been one of these euphemisms. This tradition of avoiding the true names of powerful predators is found in many cultures around the world, reflecting the deep respect people once held for these formidable animals.

Day 1 of our Finland Wildlife Photo Workshop. This

Day 1 of our Finland Wildlife Photo Workshop. This image captures the moment just before the Eurasian wolf chases this young brown bear away. Although brown bears (Ursus arctos) and Eurasian wolves (Canis lupus) are natural competitors in Finland’s boreal forests, physical confrontations are surprisingly rare. Fighting wastes valuable energy and carries a high risk of injury, so these apex predators typically resolve encounters through intimidation, bluffing, or simply escorting one another away rather than escalating into dangerous battles. It’s a fascinating reminder that, in the wild, avoiding conflict is often the best survival strategy.

If you have ever imagined stepping into a frozen f

If you have ever imagined stepping into a frozen fairy tale, take a walk through a tykky forest of Finland Lapland. Tykky is the Finnish term for trees completely encased in frost and snow during winter, and the result is nothing short of extraordinary. These forests become nature’s own sculpture gardens, where every tree is transformed into a work of art. Lapland’s dominant trees, Scots pine, Norway spruce, and birch, have developed remarkable adaptations to survive these conditions. Their flexible branches bend beneath the immense weight of snow and ice, sometimes carrying more than 500 kilograms, rather than breaking. The frost itself acts as a natural insulating coat, protecting the trees from sub-zero temperatures and relentless Arctic winds.

Rising above the fishing town of Grundarfjörður

Rising above the fishing town of Grundarfjörður in Iceland, Mount Kirkjufell is widely regarded as Iceland’s most photographed mountain. Its distinctive arrow-shaped peak, paired with the picturesque Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall, creates one of the country’s most iconic landscapes. Kirkjufell has also gained international fame through numerous films and television productions, most notably HBO’s Game of Thrones, where it appeared as the “Arrowhead Mountain” beyond the Wall.

P29 wreck in Malta. It was originally the mineswee

P29 wreck in Malta. It was originally the minesweeper Boltenhagen built in 1969–1970 and served East Germany as a patrol and minesweeping vessel. After reunification, she became a patrol boat for the German Coast Guard (BG31) until decommissioned in 1996. Malta purchased the ship in 1997, renaming her P29. Armed and operated by the Armed Forces of Malta, she was used for coastal patrols until 2004. In 2007, P29 was scuttled off Cirkewwa as an artificial reef and dive site.
