The charismatic male, adorned in his majestic attire, leads a trio of elegant females through the pristine tundra pool near Barrow, Alaska. With an air of confidence that befits his royal title, the European-born drake has attracted not just one but three lovely ladies to join him for a refreshing swim. This avian harem creates quite the spectacle against the backdrop of Arctic splendor.

Their synchronized movements and synchronized quacks create an enchanting symphony that echoes throughout North America's northernmost region.
