Pictures of the day: 13 December 2011

A diver swims alongside a Greenland shark, a rarely-seen species that looks as if it has been etched from stone. They can survive for more than 200 years at depths of up to 600 metres under Arctic ice. They grow to 23-feet long and are so fearsome they have even been known to eat polar bears. Photographer Doug Perrine captured the elusive creatures when they ventured in to the warmer waters of the St Lawrence River, in North America. He said: 'These sharks were very placid and curious. They are much calmer than other sharks; they have an almost goofy, comical appearance. The sharks are known to prey on large seals but I never felt threatened.'
