Located in some of the most remote areas of the archipelago of Svalbard, Alkefjellet is a powerful place that hosts some of the biggest colonies of birds in the Arctic. This cliffside is kilometers long and the birds are inhabiting it as if it was a huge city. It almost feels like they all have different wealth, living in the richest parts of the cliffs for some, and in the poorest neighborhoods for others. Rare are the captures of a young polar bear cub looking for a bird snack at the bottom of these cliffs. This little healthy and fluffy girl definitely made that shot unique and special.
