Polar bear and fall colours

A polar bear (Ursus maritimus) walks along the shoreline near Denmark Island in Scoresby Sund, Greenland. The red and gold colours come from arctic willows in their bright fall colours. A few bears were in the area waiting for freeze-up and in their white coats they really stood out against the background. This is a distant shot to put the bear in the context of its environment.
