Faraway Friday-Der Ice Bear
That’s what polar bears are called in German… I think that is perfect!
This bear was seen at the edge of the permanent ice edge at about 82 degrees north–that’s WAY up there. But she looked healthy and was very curious about us.
A week in the High ARCTIC!
I have just returned from a 17 day “life bucket” trip to the high arctic. It has been on the books for 4 years. But Covid put a blanket on that for several years.
It was beyond amazing and I’m going to take a week to show some highlights, and then throw some others in on Faraway Fridays.
This shot was taken at the permanent Ice Edge at 82 degrees north in uncharted waters above Nordaustlandet Norway. The bear here was about 2 football fields away peaking over the edge of an ice berg (see below)
He got up and started speed walking toward us, jumping from ice flat to ice flat.
These guys can REALLY MOVE!
