This is an alternative to one I posted a while back. The only time where a Polar bear had a kill in view, in good light, out of 14 days. Sadly with the slight motion of the ship I have had to go for a more tighter crop due to a CW rotation of the image, albeit small 1.43. Hand holding the 500 and trying to keep in line with the motion of the ship was an interesting point, that needed to be factored into everything else whilst taking the shot. This does not do the PB justice in the sense of scale, these guys are truly awesome and makes Grizzlies a poor relation.
