I took this image a few years ago in Katmai National Park, and it gets some attention for the cute factor I’m sure. These little brown bear cubs of the year were playful and fun to watch, as is often the case with very young bears. I also find the image interesting technically because it…
The colors in the high country of Denali National Park last week were stunning. The grizzly bear photography was less stunning, simply due to lack of opportunity on my short visit. However, this is the one scene I photographed for just a few minutes. In spite of the harsh light, the colors revive the image…
This male polar bear had been swimming from island to island in a glacier fjord along the northern coast of Spitsbergen, in the Svalbard archipelago.
