p.1 #1 · Polar Bear Cubs from Svalbard


We were lucky to find these polar bear cubs playing in the water, it gave me an appreciation of how aquatic they are and how much like other young animals their behavior was. We spent about two hours watching them while bobbing up and down in the Zodiac, it was extremely challenging to keep them in the frame and focused!

Comments always welcome,
BOB




Rough play






Shall we dance?






Pop ups






New toy






Smiles all the way!

A zodiac may not be a stable platform but you got some terrific shots! Looking forward to more from Svalbard.

There most unstable when all the photographers stand up on one side to get a photo!

Thanks Dave, it took a while but I finally figured out using tracking worked better!

So true, especially with their 600mm lenses!

Thanks Steve, Tim and KD. So far this group of polar bears is doing ok, from what I’ve read out of 19 subgroups two are struggling and others are ok.
