This mother and her cubs were resting in a secluded nook of small trees. Newly out from her birthing den, she now was faced with a long march to the sea ice to find food for herself and her young cubs. Sometimes going without food for as long as 8 months, mother bears have been known to lose 70% of their body weight in one natal season!

The simple elegance of a white bear in a field of purple fireweed is breath-taking. In the times I have camped with bears, I never tire of seeing the "king of beasts".

Of all the bears, polar bear are at once the most inviting and the most dangerous of them all. They are indeed playful, relaxed and charming - but don't turn your back!

What could be more relaxed than a polar bear in a bed of "roses". The most amazing thing about it all was that he completely disappeared when he lay down amidst flowers that barely reached my thigh.

This is one of the most dramatic polar bears photos I have ever taken, and it remains one of my personal favourites. The bear is definitely in a pre-charge threat posture with only a fence between him and myself and sudden death!
