A Polar Bear and the Brooks mountains range in the background, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, ANWR, Alaska.

Hey Folks

Here’s an image from my recent trip to the arctic to photograph polar bears. The light was great, and the landscape just swept away behind him. The more I shoot, the more these kinds of images seem to ring home for me.

There are a lot of places that are popular for polar bear photography nowadays, but few where you can grab a polar bear image with a massive mountain range in the background; and the infamous ANWR Section 1002 coastal plain in the foreground.

Polar Bear, Ursus maritimus, at sunrise, on Section 1002 of the ANWR coastal plain, and the Brooks Mountains Range in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska.

You can see all my available polar bear photos here.
