Summary
| Description |
English: Smiling wild harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) at Jökulsárlón (Iceland). Jökulsárlón is a glacier lagoon connected to the Atlantic ocean. The fish go to the lagoon to take advantage of the nutrients released by the glacier. This in turn attracts seals to the lagoon where they can feed on the fish. The blocks of ice floating in the water from the melting glacier are also used by the seals to bask.
Français : Phoque commun (Phoca vitulina) souriant à Jökulsárlón (Islande). Jökulsárlón est une lagune glaciaire reliée à l'océan Atlantique. Les poissons s'y rendent pour profiter des nutriments libérés par le glacier. Cela attire les phoques dans la lagune, où ils peuvent se nourrir des poissons. Les blocs de glace qui flottent dans l'eau à cause de la fonte du glacier sont également utilisés par les phoques pour se prélasser.
Deutsch: Lächelnde wilde Seehund (Phoca vitulina) in Jökulsárlón (Island). Jökulsárlón ist eine Gletscherlagune, die mit dem Atlantischen Ozean verbunden ist. Die Fische suchen die Lagune auf, um die vom Gletscher freigesetzten Nährstoffe zu nutzen. Dies wiederum lockt Robben in die Lagune, die sich von den Fischen ernähren können. Die im Wasser schwimmenden Eisblöcke des schmelzenden Gletschers werden auch von den Robben zum Sonnenbaden genutzt.
Italiano: Foca comune selvatica (Phoca vitulina) sorridente a Jökulsárlón (Islanda). Jökulsárlón è una laguna glaciale collegata all'oceano Atlantico. I pesci si recano nella laguna per sfruttare i nutrienti rilasciati dal ghiacciaio. Questo attira a sua volta le foche nella laguna, dove possono nutrirsi dei pesci. Anche i blocchi di ghiaccio che galleggiano nell'acqua a causa dello scioglimento del ghiacciaio vengono utilizzati dalle foche per fare il bagno.
