Arctic terns are extraordinary birds, and getting close to one in Svalbard is a fairly special thing. This one had landed on a small chunk of sea ice, just for a moment, wings still half-raised as if it hadn't quite decided to stay.

What I love about this shot is how well the bird disappears into its surroundings. The ice around it has this pale, glassy quality, with hints of teal and grey, and the tern's white and soft grey plumage fits right in. And then there's that red bill, just a small flash of colour, which is really what draws your eye. It's a quiet scene, but there's a lot going on if you look at it for a while.

We produce all our prints to order, so you can be sure you're getting the best quality work to hang on your wall. As a result, in busy times it can take a while to process the orders. In the worst case, which is generally during the peak months of July-September, it can take 4-6 weeks to receive large framed prints. Large canvases generally take 2-3 weeks. Unframed prints are generally also 2-3 weeks at worst.

We aim to get prints out as quickly as possible, so we would expect and hope that you would receive them earlier than the above timeframes. If you have a particular need to get a print quickly, please let us know in the order notes and we'll prioritize it for you, or you can email us at info@petercox.ie.

Prints are well-packaged and in the unlikely event that it arrives damaged, we'll send a replacement free of charge. 

When your order ships, you'll receive an email with your tracking number.

Thanks for your trust, and we hope you get many years of enjoyment from your new print!
