Polar Bear
Just got back from Svalbard where I have spent the past five weeks circumnavigating the main island spitsbergen in a small yacht, Svalbard is a truly beautiful place with some stunning wildlife. Polar Bears where high on the agenda but can be very difficult to find during the summer but I got lucky and had some great encounters. We came across this one looking for seals resting on the Ice.

Canon 1D MK11, 500mm Lens, F4, ISO 200.

Wonderful !
Something I will never see in the wild.
Could get quite depressed about it too !
