Over the course of her career, photographer and Canon Ambassador Lucia Griggi has travelled to some of the world's most remote regions. In this image, photographed during an Antarctic summer, a juvenile Weddell seal keeps a watchful eye on a nearby hunting leopard seal. Taken on a Canon EOS-1D X Mark II (now succeeded by the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III) with a Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens (now succeeded by the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM) at 1/800 sec, f/7.1 and ISO200. © Lucia Griggi
