Dancing Bears, Juggling Bears, Nursing Bears

Amazing adventures in the High Arctic in July. We visited Svalbard, the Norwegian islands far to the North. Our polar bear encounters included a playful young male polar bear, juggling a stick; a mom who approached really close, and a midnight sun adventure with polar bears in calm waters and gorgeous low light from a sun that did not set. Here are two images. A gallery is coming. Come back frequently to see more photos, read more stories.
