Polar bear

[Steve Kaluski]

Another one from the archives... this guy was sitting at a seals blow hole waiting for it to surface, the noise of our ice breaker very slowly making it's way through the pack ice obviously caught his attention.

Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.

Have a wonderful week-end, hope to send you some images on Sunday, haven't managed to go out yet just too much going on!

Hi Steve ... the PB does not look amused about the boats presence , well that´s my interpretation of the scene .
Nicely processed as expected .
Looks very good as presented , nothing to make better IMHO.

Looks good. Just enough head turn to keep our interest. Probably a once-in-lifetime opportunity.

Probably a once-in-lifetime opportunity.

Dorian, fourth trip.
