2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Polar Bear, Eastern Coast north of Scoresby Sund, Greenland
Rude Awakening

Species: Polar Bear | Location: Eastern Coast north of Scoresby Sund, Greenland

We came upon this polar bear sleeping on the ice flows off the eastern coast of Greenland. When it awoke, it was quite startled by our presence and made a quick retreat over the ice shortly after this shot. This was a very healthy looking bear.
