Polar Bears!

We saw 61 polar bears on our trip!

Admittedly, many of them were from afar, like this bear below that is searching above the bird cliffs for an easy meal.


Some, however, were quite curious about the ship and walked right up to us! Here's one bear, checking out the icebreaker on the front of our ship.

After scoping us out, he laid down and rolled around nearby and two other  males came to check us out.

We saw several fat, happy looking cubs. The experts told us that it was a sign that the polar bears were doing well if the mothers were able to raise two cubs.
