Clione limacina, also called "sea angel." This etegami is part of my North Seas series.

ice and claws (north seas series)

A polar bear walks gingerly across the ice. The accompanying words quote from the last stanza of the poem Arktos by Ari Berk:

May not deter a giant built of ice and claws
Unless the sleep of solstices be on him
He, Son of Sedna and the Northern Waste
