Stalking the Void
by Michael Anderson
A common scene along the pristine reefs of Morovo Lagoon in The Solomon Islands.
The Solomons are a true wilderness paradise, the last frontier for travel in the South Pacific. The reefs have some of the greatest biodiversity in the world and since there is very little tourist infrastructure, the islands are a dream destination for those seeking real adventure in the South Seas. Monitor Lizards roam the beaches, shark callers still practice their ancient art, and dense rainforests cloak the slopes of smoking volcanoes. It's a stunning landscape both above and below the surface of the sea.
Equipment: Canon 5d MkII and Aquatica Housing

I had to look very hard to find the rest of the shark, since the tail was so prominent, but once I got it I really saw it in all its scary glory. Great picture.

The Seas can look serene on the surface, but certainly plenty of activity below.

Great underwater scene.

A brilliant shot from an amazing place. Could make money from eco tourists but too many and the place will die.

This shot inspired me to read up on the Solomon islands.. as Pauline Jones said in an earlier comment, its a hidden gem but the kind of place that will be destroyed by too much tourism.
