22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Thirsty
We had not seen any polar bears on our multi-day expedition to photograph polar bears in spring light in April in Svalbard until we spotted this male, on the next to the last day. It was my first time ever seeing a polar bear. From zodiacs were were able to watch him as he walked and drank at the edge of the sea ice.
