Polar bear (Ursus maritimus)

Svalbard

A rare close-up of a female polar bear checking out if the ship I’m on has any food opportunities – it does produce a lot of very interesting scents after all, but how to access them?

If this was an encounter on land, it would try to rip open doors, windows or the walls to get to what’s inside. Fortunately the steel hull of a ship is a fortress and she’ll move on after a short assessment.

Well fed

Polar bear (Ursus maritimus)

Svalbard

This is one of several amazing moments this female and her cub shared with us, and here they are walking straight towards the boat I'm on to check it out, as their seal carcass was completely cleaned out and thus the hunt for new opportunities went up to the number one priority.

They evoke so many emotions in humans, and I am no exception, as I simply cannot help myself and say "aaaww" when I look at the cub in the image. But during the encounter my heart was filled with awe, amazement, love and admiration, as the cub and her mother are such incredible animals. The cub had a unique way of keeping the lower lip hanging, or drooping, and it just adds to the cuteness that is a cub. And that we humans simply love.

Cuteness aside, this cub has had an amazingly good start in life, as the mother has made it off Svalbard and onto the sea ice, where the food is during the summer months. Chances are that this cub one day is a fully grown specimen, capable of killing a human with just one hit of either of its paws!
