With midnight approaching, the summer sun remains above the horizon on King William Island. Many historians believe that somewhere in this sprawling landscape of lakes, bogs, and gravel fields, Captain John Franklin is buried, perhaps with a cache of log books, letters and other information about the expedition.

Like the vast expanses they constitute, drops of seawater teem with life. Scientists estimate that some may contain as many as a million organisms, most too small to see with the naked eye. But put a drop under a microscope, and you will likely find free-swimming fish larvae, crawling copepods, and peculiar protists. While these miniscule creatures and their water worlds are overlooked by most of us, Spanish photographer Angel Fitor has made them his muse.

A large family gathers for Thanksgiving dinner. A man stands up at a town meeting to speak, his eyes full of hope. Individuals clasp their hands in prayer. A couple tuck their small children into bed.
