One is struck with silent wonder at the vast, icy terrain the young huntress on her horse in this image overlooks. This grandeur is sometimes discovered in fragile, fleeting moments when we humans realize how very small we are and how very large is the natural world. The subzero temperatures are as harsh as the starkness and coldness of the dead winter environment. This 16-year-old huntress and her golden eagle are interdependent and work together to catch prey such as wolves, foxes, and lynxes.
