Some shots from my cruise in Svalbard, May 2022. After searching for polar bears for week, finally on May 8, we came across "Frost" ( aka Misha) and this year's cub. She is the most photographed polar bear on Svalbard and a star on Norwegian TV. She hangs around Longyearbyen which brings her regularly into close contact with people. She may be shot because of that, in fact all her previous litters have been shot! We encountered this pair on the ice shelf on 8 May. She was also photographed close to town eating a reindeer on 1 May.
So the outlook for this pair is grim.

"Things to do and people to see"
This young polar bear cub was torn between curiosity about us in the zodiac and the fast pace of its mother, "Frost", who was trying to run away from a huge male bear. Frost is the most photographed polar bear in Svalbard. Taken on 8 May 2022 on the ice shelf in Svalbard.
