Big boy waking up

This is my last photo of the polar bear that I call “Snacke Eye” for this time. I hope to see and work with him gain when I return to Svalbard this August onboard the M/S Freya.

In the last 24 hours it was a tragic accident for one of the vessels that operates in the Svalbard area. A bear went to attack and injured a man. Because of this the Polar Bear needs to be put down. Be safe out there!7703745C-CB18-43FF-A809-B57B5217316D.jpeg

I don't see why they want to put down the bear.

I’m in a zodiac so it is totally safe

What a cool opportunity to be able to photograph these big boys

It is amazing

Whoa! That's a great shot.

This is an amazing capture mate. Sad story that he has to be put down.
