Our little vessel was parked up in the pack ice as this Polar bear just walked by, catching the strong, late afternoon light. They do come incredibly close, but in doing so you can get caught out with shooting angles, so you need to plan and take what comes. A while to wait to get back with these guys, but always great fun and as always, with a great crew.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed the previous thread.
