Here’s another from my polar bears at sunrise series. In this one, the sun just started to clear the low-lying clouds and the warm tones began spilling into the cold, shaded foreground of snow and ice. The polar bear seemed to be enjoying it as much as I was. I had my 200-400mm lens mounted to my camera and had to go vertical to fit the sun and the bear into the same frame. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/1250th of a second
Hey Rick, I strongly recommend Seal River over anything in Churchill. It costs more, but you get to be on foot with the bears, which makes all the difference.
Thanks Ann. Funny thing was, it was the last morning of the trip, there were no bears around, and most people weren’t even going to go out. I suited up just to go photograph the landscape — and as if on cue, the bears showed up.

Truly awesome. The top part of the photograph is glorious, even without the polar bear.
