22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A polar bear walks along the rocky coastline of Hudson Bay near Churchill, Canada.

I visit Churchill, Manitoba each fall to witness the migration of polar bears from the mainland to the sea ice. While they wait for the water to freeze, they spend time along the coast passing the time. The reflection of this bear in blue water was unusual to see.
