The Observer

Earth In Focus Photography CompetitionAnimal Portraits

A polar bear stares, framed under a white truck. Churchill is nicknamed the “polar bear capital of the world” due to the number of polar bears that migrate here between July and November while they wait for the bay to freeze. On my recent visit to Churchill, I saw many bears around town. It’s always a great experience watching polar bears. On this day, I watched this bear take a stroll and go behind a parked truck. I carefully set up my camera and took a few photos while he stared in my direction from underneath the truck.
