502-5DS02807

            Spitsbergen / Svalbard, Day Seven, June 22, 2016: Fuglefjord, Sallyhamna, Virgohamna, Smeerenburgbreen, Gullybukta.

This was our second polar bear sighting, this time another female bear working her way up further north in search of food.

Over a period of a few hours, we tracked this bear from our Zodiacs, as the bear walked along the long coast of one of the islands, then swimming over to another island and continuing to walk.

I took several hundreds of shots of this bear, and most of them look good or interesting in some way. I have not had the time to study them all in detail.

I am uploading about 30 of them to flickr... That's a lot of photos of one bear, but for those who have not been close to polar bears, I hope it gives a sense for these amazing and incredibly lonely animals.

Enjoy the images, and don't feel compelled to comment on them all.

Final bear image for now... this is where we said goodbye.

Hope you have enjoyed the series, which was a like a movie in still images. Below is the first image in this series.
