My article in the German magazine HEINZ about the starfish of the Northern seas, the northern lights and underwater photography. The magazine is published in German and English.
I swear that everything was as it was written in the article, including the filling of pies and the fear of imaginary bears.
Many thanks to the editor for the lovely lead in the contents.
