The title of this blog was almost, Bears 1 Photographers 0. The morning started slowly. the temperature dipped to -4 degrees last night. Our driver/guide assured us that the polar bears loved the cold weather and that this would bring them out. After two hours of prowling the tundra we had not seen a single bear. We were becoming discouraged. And on top of that we were all suffering from frozen toes. Would we come up dry today?
Then luck changed. We saw a large male following a female and two cubs. The female beat a hasty retreat. However, we caught up with her later in the day and got some fantastic pictures of her and her cubs. In the end, it was a great day with many bear sightings. (But our toes were still frozen.)
Two more days to go.
Best regards,
Mark and Cathy
