Polar Bears on Kaktovik Island

Today we flew from Deadhorse in Prudhoe Bay to Kaktovik on Barter Island. It was snowing overnight, low cloud cover and the light was really dull and flat. At the very last moment this afternoon we took a boat out in search of some polar bears. We found 2 mother bears, each with 2 cubs. So cute!!

PS - for those of you who have already commented, my thanks! and my apologies!! I blipped the wrong image. Here's the right one - it's even more cute!
