Polar Bear Ursus Maritimus

The highlight of our Arctic expedition to Svalbard.

We spent about 5 hours watching the bear from the deck of our expedition ship, The Akademik Ioffe, a Russian "research" ship built in 1988. I took over 600 frames of this magnificent bear, never knowing when it may wander off not to return. In the event, we left before she did! Stunning.

 

Many thanks to everyone who stops by, faves, comments and/or awards. It is much appreciated.
