As a beginner, I was just happy to capture some images from the experience. Actually seeing a Polar Bear in its natural habitat was pretty much worth it on its own. I'm going to be working on my photographic skills before attempting the African Safari (Ed's photos are inspiring!).  Sharon

This was a "30 year anniversary" celebration trip. If we have to wait for 30 more, I'll be too old to hold a camera i would have said "GTFO of here" after #4 haha lol - The part I didn't show is that we were aboard a ship ( small 50 passenger Russian ship fortified to go through the ice). No way I'd want to be where that fuzzy cute bear could tear into me! Sharon
