Arranging a photographic excursion is challenging: official permission is required as are special vehicles - and last but not least, photographers need the help of experienced native guides who are able to track the females and their little ones in the Arctic wild. To get the bear families in front of the camera, you not only have to be resistant to the cold, but you must also bring along loads of "bear-like" patience Vissza
