Skadi Lili Polaris - Fierce ibex goddess of winter & mountains; a promise of love & hope to the world, a shining star of the North!
She was named by the wildalps community by voting in Aug 2022;
Skadi lives at the Brienzer Rothorn peak, which is tripple bordered by the Swiss cantons Obwalden, Berne and Lucerne, together with the Rothorn ibex colony at 2350m/7700ft. Steep cliffs, rugged ridges, screes and rocky alpine pastures are their home. During a tightrope walk you can observe these impressive animals and at the same time enjoy an unbelievable mountain panorama. Skadi was particularly curious that day with long deep looks that I had to capture - moments of connection.
