So if mother nature isn’t going to bring the cold, I will — courtesy of northern Manitoba, Canada where I photographed polar bears back in November of 2010. One of the great things about this location, is that you view the bears on foot. This enables ground level perspectives whereby you can truly get a sense of the size of these formidable beasts.
