• POLAR BEAR!! POLAR BEAR!! Cruising Amundsen Gulf, Nunavut, Arctic Canada.

Suddenly the alarm sounded – POLAR BEAR!! POLAR BEAR!! And indeed, there was a polar bear, subsequently identified as Peter, on our starboard bow, devouring a seal.

He seemed somewhat upset by our presence, so we stopped the engines and he moved off.

What a magnificent experience for us…less so for Cedric The Seal, but such is the cycle of life.

We have now moved in and are tracking Peter with our SuperCamera.

We have broken free of the ice for now – there may be more later..
