CLOSE : I was able to photograph this magnificent polar bear in Svalbard in 2022. In April there is enough light to photograph . This male was very curious and very fast indeed. I saw him walking and hunting in a wide open valley of sea ice . A powerful symbol of the strength and endurance of the Arctic .
