“The guides were already awake as we entered Van Mijenfjord, and within minutes two bears were spotted on the fjord ice at 3am. The midnight sun was low, shining on the snow-covered mountains, when the mum and cub were joined by a third bear. Initially we thought the mum and cub would run away, but instead they ran towards this newcomer. “To add to the excitement, the cub then started playing with the third bear, whom we later suspected was a cub from a previous litter. The three bears were jumping in and out of the water, taking turns chasing each other, and coming up close to the vessel!” This is just one of the fantastic wildlife experiences that our clients enjoyed on our first Svalbard trip of the season, as told to us by expedition leader @nate.small.photography, whose photo you can see here.

Polar bears may be thought of as an animal never far from snow and ice, but in many parts of their range (including Svalbard) these white-furred predators can be seen climbing cliffs or prowling rocky shorelines. Such a contrast makes for some interesting photographic opportunities, as evidenced here by NWS specialist leader @shannon__wild.

When we first saw this image of an inquisitive polar bear poking its nose through the gunnel hole of the M/S Freya in Svalbard, we were instantly spellbound – so much so that it now hangs on the wall of the NWS offices! We have photographer @andy_mann to thank for the photograph, who risked his boots to freeze this moment in time for the benefit of us all.

Polar bear on sea ice not far from Kong Karl’s Land, Svalbard. I believe this is a male bear, since it is so thick around the neck, a female bear has a thinner neck. That is why polar bear scientists at Norwegian Polar Institute only put satellite collars on female bears. The collar does not stick on the male bears because their neck is thicker than their head, so the collar only slides off. #polarbear #isbjørn #kingofthearctic #arcticwildlife #marinemammal #wildlife #wildlifephotography #visitsvalbard #svalbardwildlife #svalbard #wildplanet #fantasticanimals #naturephotography #threatenedspecies #animalportrait #waterreflection #climatechange #globalwarming #ursusmaritimus #norskpolarinstitutt
Polar bear on sea ice not far from Kong Karl’s Land, Svalbard. The bear came close to the ship, so we saw it from a distance of only 6-7 meters. Quite a beautiful moment standing almost face to face with king of the Arctic. #polarbear #isbjørn #kingofthearctic #arcticwildlife #marinemammal #wildlife #wildlifephotography #visitsvalbard #svalbardwildlife #svalbard #kongkarlsland #wildplanet #fantasticanimals #naturephotography #threatenedspecies #animalportrait #monochromephotography #snout #climatechange #globalwarming #ursusmaritimus #norskpolarinstitutt
