[Leica] Images of the Polar bears

[afirkin at afirkin.com (afirkin@afirkin.com)]

Thanks Mads,
we saw the bears in Svalbard and in Greenland, where we went to the East 
coast and spent time in the fjord systems. The closest we came was on the 
boat. The mother and cub were quite a long way away, as we did not want ot 
"disturb" them that far from land. The bear on the beach, we saw as we left 
the beach: it swam past us and walked over the place we had been 10 minutes 
earlier putting on our life jackets. It was a reminder that the bears can 
come from anywhere. It is a wild place and very remote. There is less "life" 
there than most places I"ve been. We got as high as 80 degrees north, but 
the places we went are perhaps not as wild as those you frequent!!!!


Cheers

Alastair,

 

Your Arctic portfolio is truly amazing. There are so many good pictures,
with beautiful shades of blue and white as well as the autumn terrain. You
obviously went to Greenland, North, West and South as far as I can recognize
but where did you get so close to them polar bears, Canada or Greenland too?

 

Thanks for showing,

 

Mads
