A pair of Black-legged Kittiwakes fight over a just caught fish
That fish looks a little large...
Nearly 11pm and still daylight, so this Black-legged Kittiwake has gone fishing and come up with a small partially frozen fish
Guarding his kill, the large Polar Bear is sniffing the air to see if we are a threat
A very large Polar Bear sits by it's catch, a leopard seal, while we drift by.
Licking his lips, this hungry Polar Bear has managed to consume a large portion of his favorite meal, a Leopard Seal. The gulls, like this Olive Gull swooping low over the water, have to wait their turn
Various types of gull, want their share of the carcass too
Not enough to eat. This young Polar Bear was eating the scraps left behind by a larger more capable bear, who had eaten the nourishing blubber and left the meat.
A group of mothers and pups sunbathe on the ice. The summer sun is always low in the sky above 80 degrees North
A huge Walrus rises out of the icy water to see what's going on.
This guy is very happy to stare at the camera and display it's mustache
Always curious, but ready to flee.
Time to leave
Breeding on the Arctic tundra, a Parasitic Jaeger tends to her single egg while her mate (off camera) acts as a decoy. While not breeding, they will spend the remainder of the year at sea.
