I never get tired of seeing your PB images from your trip. And these are just as amazing as your others.
You have so many amazing shots, how on earth do you ever decide which ones to print?

Terrific set of photos! Do you know how old the cubs were? Was this in Canada?
This was outside Churchill and the cubs were ~10 weeks old...according to the guys there they were the youngest they had seen in over 15 years of doing this.

Thanks so much....I believe I may have said the same when I saw these guys

All fantastic. Odd juxtaposition of cute and fearsome.
Thanks and agree that their reputation as apex predators doesn't seem to jive with their tender side.

Power and vulnerability in each image. They make me stop in disbelief and a touch of sadness for where their world is likely headed.
Superb set, Eric.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks Kim and I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment....hopefully it's not too late.

It's good to see more images from you polar bear encounter. Great images from what must have been a great experience.

Thank you Dave, it was an odd trip in that this was the only sighting we had for the week but looking back these many months later it is hard to remember anything but these 4 hours.

Thanks Lil...it was an amazing experience....it is funny that 7 months later I hardly remember all the days we waited without seeing anything and then this happened and made the whole trip worthwhile

Dang Eric, I'm afraid to show such superb images to my wife! The bears near Churchill have been on our bucket list, and when she sees images like these she asks "When are we going?".
Art
Haha...Art, it was something special for me...having never seen a bear of any kind in the wild before it was extra exciting and to witness and photograph the interaction between mother and cubs was priceless. If you can manage it....go, you won't be sorry.
Like every polar bear set you have shared with us, these are flipped amazing!
The images are tender, heart warming, and beautifully composed. It is work like this that inspires a conservation ethic.
Thanks for sharing them Eric!
I am in a place with awful internet connectivity. It wanted to say thank you to all...when I get back I will reach out to everyone and maybe with a few surprises as well.
Eric
Really nice Eric. You really took advantage of a wonderful opportunity. ~Jim
