Polar Bear - Svalbard - 19 - Tracks


A large flat beach exposed at low tide with the very recent tracks of a large polar bear. It raised the tension a little to think that a bear had very recently been this way and may still be around, we did eventually locate it, on a distant hillside and heading in the other direction.
