Title: Two whooper swans by the ice edge at misty sunrise

Description: Whooper swans gather in the thermal waters of Lake Kussharo, where geothermal activity keeps areas ice-free even in frigid Hokkaido winters. Rising steam creates ethereal scenes as these elegant birds rest in naturally heated pools surrounded by frozen landscape.
