23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Mom Polar Bear Led the Way
This image shows the mom polar bear how to protect her children by leading the way through the huge iceberg. The back side light was from late afternoon sunlight. Though it was cold-5 C, but it was too warm to the polar bears. The polar bears need ice filed which is their birth place and their home. Climate change is affecting the polar region. We have to respect and preserve their land.
