With its fluffy white fur, huge glassy eyes and friendly wave, the icy seal pup is cute enough to melt even the coldest of hearts.

Photographer Alexy Trofimov snapped the charming pictures of the seal while on an expedition to Lake Baikal in Russia.

Alexy, 45, said: ‘For the seals, I came on foot. The photos were taken from different distances, I managed to get fairly close to the pups.

‘Shooting seals was planned, but it was particularly difficult to shoot Baikal seal pup on the ice.

‘It took me three years to get my first picture.

‘I was happy to be able to capture such a rare picture, seals are very cautious and easily frightened so it is difficult to photograph them.

‘If a seal pup is not too scared, they will begin to become curious about you and this is what this seal was doing.

‘It was a very rare and special moment.’
