Between the ice floes. In a remote region of the Arctic pack ice, I witnessed a lone Polar Bear in transit over the ice floes. Some of the floes are too far apart to jump, so the most efficient route is to swim between and even sometimes underneath them. Polar Bears have an incomprehensible level of endurance and survival instincts, being able to swim for hundreds of kilometres in a single continuous push. Working as a crew member on this Arctic sea ice voyage, I was exceedingly careful when capturing this moment from an aerial perspective. At all times I closely monitored the behaviour of the bear to ensure I did not impact its behaviour. These scenes were captured with @naturalworldsafaris in the international marginal ice zone, sitting just south of the North Pole and more than 12 nautical miles from the northern tip of Svalbard.

Too bad their habitat is disappearing, the ice is melting, they're starving, and they're sad. You can just tell.

I have a feeling the whole arctic is acting and flexing when you’re around. 😅 These scenes are so incredible.
