Polar Bear
Polar Bears can get rather dirty when they've been feeding so spend quite a lot of time swimming and rolling in the snow. This female had been feeding alongside two males on a Walrus carcass then spent a good ten minutes rolling in the snow close to our ship. This was in the pack ice, frozen sea where it starts to break up at the edges, just north of Svalbard.
