We were fortunate to encounter 22 bears. All but one seemed very healthy.
This mom and cubs were feeding on the very last remains of a whale. The cubs were thought to be about 1 year old.

Faraway Friday-Artic Gems
Most of the ice bergs were blue. It has something to do with compression.
But most of them looked like giant gem stones.
Arctic day 7: I heart icebergs!
I always thought icebergs were just floating white mountains with their tops sticking out. They are all different shades of blue and clear.. This one had a heart melting from within… Was it sending a message?
We had amazing weather for our journey. We often had waters so calm that we could capture reflections.
Arctic day 6-A big girl!
This was a big girl! You can tell females from males because females have necks! That is why only females are collard for research. The males necks are bigger than their heads and the collars slip right off.
Arctic day 5: So much texture
I was surprised to see so many mountain tops with such vastly differing geology.
Artic Day 4: Monacobreen
It was incredible to take our zodiacs into the icefields, surrounded by icebergs and glaciers. The ice sounds like rice krispies in milk!
Arctic day 3: Walrus Wash
This female walrus (females tusks point together-males point outward so they can poke each other) got quite a bath trying to make her way back to shore.
