Wow,... this is absolutely incredible. Photographing the high arctic is one of my nature travel goals, and your images just make me want to go even more.
The wildlife work is beautiful, but I must admit that I'm drawn even more to the landscapes. There is something artistically other-worldly about the icy landscapes presented here.

Lovely stuff!

Well it's about time we hear from you buddy! These are stunning images. You did a magnificent job on presentation of the bears, nice coloring and details. Some very pretty scenery. Picking 1,6,8 and 9 but enjoying all

thanks Bruce. It is one of the most unique places I have visited for sure. 24hrs daylight is a game changer for sure.
