This guy decided to come and investigate whilst we were 'parked up' in the pack ice. He never really came that close, more intrigued I guess with our presence, as Polar bears are very curious characters, however having made his way over, all he did was sit and gaze, obviously the scent and smells were better coming from the RHS based on the H/A.![]()
Nothing you can do about the angle of shooting as this was taken with the lens through the railings on the side of the ship, the lowest point, as it's too dangerous to be on the pack ice with these guys.
