  • EXCLUSIVE: You ORCA look behind you, this incredible photo shows a diver seemingly just yards from a feeding killer whale. Norwegian teacher Svein Aasjord, 44, his wife, and three boys, live in a fjord called Kaldfjord, in northern Norway close to the city of Tromsø - 217 miles north of the Arctic Circle. As well as living in one of the stunning coastal inlets Norway is famous for, the Aasjord family also live in one which is a popular hunting channel for whales feeding on herring. Each winter millions and millions of herring feed along the Norwegian coast in rich cold-water currents. Heading north to meet them is one the largest gatherings of orca and humpback whales on earth ready to feast on the bounty. In open water the whales stand little chance against the fast-moving shoals of herring, but by herding the tiny fish into fjords the whales create hundreds of ‘bait balls’ trapping the fish at the surface before going in for the kill. Sometimes the Aasjord family’s local Kaldfjord can be literally full of herring and large numbers of orca and humpbacks hunting them. The action has been so close to the house that Svein has been able to take photographs from inside his own property. These stunning photographs are just some Svein has been able to take over the years, including some breath-taking shots of his friends SWIMMING with the hunting orcas. Svein said: “All the people that have seen that picture tell me ‘he’s going to die in the next moment’. “I shouted to my friend ‘look over here’, because I wanted him to be looking at me when one of the big males was behind him. The whale of course was not up for the diver at all, he was just up for air. “The diver is a friend of mine, he and his girlfriend are experienced divers, they are not professional divers but they dive all the time. “We shut off the engine, as I am very strict when it comes to not disturbing the whales because they are feeding and I don’t want to interfere with their live

  • EXCLUSIVE: You ORCA look behind you, this incredible photo shows a diver seemingly just yards from a feeding killer whale. Norwegian teacher Svein Aasjord, 44, his wife, and three boys, live in a fjord called Kaldfjord, in northern Norway close to the city of Tromsø - 217 miles north of the Arctic Circle. As well as living in one of the stunning coastal inlets Norway is famous for, the Aasjord family also live in one which is a popular hunting channel for whales feeding on herring. Each winter millions and millions of herring feed along the Norwegian coast in rich cold-water currents. Heading north to meet them is one the largest gatherings of orca and humpback whales on earth ready to feast on the bounty. In open water the whales stand little chance against the fast-moving shoals of herring, but by herding the tiny fish into fjords the whales create hundreds of ‘bait balls’ trapping the fish at the surface before going in for the kill. Sometimes the Aasjord family’s local Kaldfjord can be literally full of herring and large numbers of orca and humpbacks hunting them.

  • At more than five times their normal weight the horrifying pictures of Arctic Foxes from a Finnish animal rights group show the animals confined in tiny cages. Too fat to walk for fear of breaking their legs the obese animals sit lifeless in their cages waiting to be harvested to make garments with their prized pelts that help them stay warm in the wild. According to Finnish organization Oikeutta eläimille (Justice for Animals), the skins of the animals produced by Saga Furs are sold to high end fashion brands with garments sold by the likes of Louis Vuitton and Michael Kors. "The skins sold by Saga Furs are just the skins of these deformed processed giants," says Kristo Muurimaa of Justice for Animals. The oversized skins of the bloated fur farm foxes reportedly command a higher price than regular sized skins. Fur farming has been banned in many European countries but Finland still continues the barbaric practice. “Fur farming in Finland is sick. It shows that farmer welfare does not mean anything to them and that they try to get as much profit from their skins as possible. “Society must set limits to such greed, “ said Kristo Muurimaa. 26 Sep 2017 Pictured: Fur farm Arctic Fox.
