Polar Bear at the Edge

I could tell a long story about my abridged trip with my good friend Sid to Kaktovik, many moons ago, but I’ll just leave it as a shout out to Sid. Although short, we had some wonderful bear sightings. I shared many of them after the trip but held back on quite a few. Here’s one I like a lot. Certain animals are photogenic, and polar bears are certainly one of them. (Ursus maritimus) (Taken in 2012, Canon 1DX, 70-200 @ 185mm, f/5.6, 1/800 second, ISO 1600)
