Polar Bear Cubs
WILD AND FREE
We were very lucky with our bear sightings around Spitzbergen in the Scandinavian Arctic, which allowed us to get some nice close-up shots. These cubs were around 19 months old and still very playful.

A wonderful capture, Steve.
I keep on switching off the power, where ever I can.
However, I’m not sure that it will prevent the polar bears from running out of ice and snow…

Looking at this pair, it’s hard to believe that polar bears are the only animals that openly hunts down man as prey.
