The photo of the month for January 2023 originates from my July 2022 exploration to Svalbard (Check Out the Journey Report) and is of a huge male Walrus on the beach in Svalbard throughout a heavy rainstorm. This photo was taken by resting on the damp sand (a really damp and sandy location to be that required being hosed off on go back to the ship!) utilizing a 600mm lens. This photo was included in the current Wildlife Photographic publication that consisted of a complete function on Walrus and among my photos as the cover shot.
