Baffin Island 2025
Available in:
Limited edition run of 25 - 30” print for £500
Limited edition run of 15 - 48” print for £1250
I returned to Baffin lsland in Canada in March this year in the hope of yet again getting to see Polar Bears once more. This was my third consecutive year camping on the sea ice in Baffin for the simple reason that it is one of the most majestic & pristine environments in the world to photograph polar bears. However, with temperatures between-30 to -40 it is also one of the most challenging to ensure you keep your hands warm to press the shutter
Our spotters went out before breakfast to look for tracks & bears & on this day we were lucky as they spotted this young 4 year-old male bear on an iceberg about 30 minutes from our camp. When we got to the scene the bear was on top of the iceberg & was walking across it as we approached on our skidoos. It was an incredible & exciting sight to behold.
Incredibly for us he was so relaxed in our presence that we got to stay the whole day with him. Occasionally he would move positions or we would & in between sleeping he would keep a watchful eye on us.
Male polar bears do not hibernate in the winter unlike female polar bears. They are solitary animals who continue to hunt for seals in the harsh arctic winter, & can travel over 3,000km in a month.
This bear spent most of the day resting & then as the sun was close to setting he descended off the iceberg & moved off towards the ice floe to continue his solitary journey searching for food. It was a perfect ending to a day spent with this Arctic Wanderer.
